Anecdotal: Hedera is Ram, Deer and Bird Medicine. It is associated with immortality, resurrection, rebirth and fidelity. Hedera is regarded as a representative of the spiral of time. The spirit within Hedera is invoked to address regularly re-occurring spiritual pain of a genetous nature that has caused the attrition of spiritual energy or direction. It resolves endopsychic wounds that impair peacefulness or personal shields of protection. It is believed to prevent intoxication when worn as a wreath on ones head. Hedera wood is soft and used for carving. Thin slices make good filters. Ancient trunks have been found to be a foot in diameter or more.
