Hey, Yew/Harry's Scar

Sawsan here.

I looked up the eihwaz (sp?) rune on the net.

 http://www.bewitchingways.com/runes/eihwaz.htm

This website says that the rune means "Another nonreversible rune,
Eihwaz is generally a positive rune in divination. Its traditional
meaning is yew; because of this Eihwaz is associated with hunting and
the daring that hunting necessitates. Eihwaz often appears in a
reading to tell the querent, "Go ahead, take the plunge, the risk is
worth it in the end." Basically, Eihwaz indicates that the querent has
set her sights on a viable target and is unlikely to encounter defeat.
And even if she does encounter catastrophe, it will be minor and may
in fact be to her advantage in the long run."  

That also goes along with Harry and his daring, and hopefully, his
defeating Voldie.

Another few facts, which possibly are irrelevent, but might be worth
looking into, are these:

Also called Yr or Eoh
Letter: E
Old Norse name: none
Flower: lilac
Gem: topaz
Number: 5


The part about its traditional meaning is yew confuses me though, are
they talking about the yew tree? If so, that could go along with
Voldie's "marking him as his equal" with his yew wand, correct? I
mean, that was part of the prophecy, so I won't totally dismiss Voldie
having something to do with putting that scar on Harry's forehead,
though perhaps Lily did put a protective charm on Harry to begin with.

On another website : 


Eihwaz is the axis around which all else revolves and from which all
else spins. It contains the mystery of life and death. It is a life
giving force which has its roots in the Underworld and death.

It provides protection, and can help increase personal power and defense.

It suggests the passage and communication between different worlds and
layers of reality.

This rune embodies the ideal "better not to promise anything than to
promise too much and fail", and serves as a reminder of the natural
and rightful restrictions that serve a greater good.

Eihwaz is the immovable object standing against all irresistable forces.

Magically it can be a rune of wisdom when invoked in accessing the
mysteries of Yggdrasil. In mythology, Yggdrasil is the tree from which
Odin hung to obtain the answers to the mysteries of the runes. This
means Eihwaz can be worked to obtain understanding of all mysteries.

In divination it can reflect stamina and survival and may be
represented by any of the following forces.

EIHWAZ UPRIGHT:Survival, strength, reliability, dependability,
trustworthiness, enlightenment, endurance, defense, protection, secret
or sacred knowledge

EIHWAZ MERKSTAVE: Confusion, destruction, dissatisfaction, weakness,
vulnerability, untrustworthyness, snatching defeat from the jaws of
victory, ignorance


I would think that the eihwaz upright is what Harry has on  his
forhead if I am correct, and the fact that it is " It is a life giving
force which has its roots in the Underworld and death" has a lot to do
with the ancient magic that Harry's mom left for Harry by protecting
him and sacrificing herself, which maybe, when Voldie tried to kill
Harry, the Eihwaz appeared.

Sawsan, sorry for the long post.
