The quiet village of Selborne in Hampshire, England, is embraced by the folds of the ancient South Downs. It carries a haunting folktale entwined with its oldest residents – the Yew Trees in the St. Mary’s churchyard. These trees, the oldest being approximately 1400 years old, are reputed to walk on New Year’s Eve. Some records narrate that at midnight, just as the old year departs and the new one takes its place, the yew trees come alive. They would uproot themselves and march around the church anticlockwise – a direction associated often with witches or banishing ritual. After a silent, solemn procession, they would return to their places before dawn, ready to witness another year’s changing seasons. This tale is believed to be a remnant of the old pagan belief in Tree Spirits participated in seasonal rituals. The Yew tree holds a unique significance in various cultures. The Druids, particularly, considered it a symbol of immortality, transformation, and access to the Otherworld. To this date, despite many brave and curious ventures, no one has seen the Yew trees marching. The locals staunchly believe in this folklore and respect it as a sacred event of the unseen world. It is also a reflection of how the natural world, our culture and myths are woven together, shaping our perceptions, making places not just geographical spots, but areas resonating with our collective memory and belief.
