Elm is a slightly fibrous, tan-colored wood with a slight sheen. Elm is often associated with Mother and Earth Goddesses, and was said to be the abode of faeries, explaining Kipling's injunction; "Ailim be the lady's tree; burn it not or cursed ye'll be". Elm wood is valued for it's resistance to splitting, and the inner bark was used for cordage and chair caning. Elm is used to obtain purification and cleansing. It is excellent for re-energising the mind when feeling fatigued and balances the heart when feeling drained or over emotional. It gives one the desire to progress and alleviates feelings of failure, despondency and inadequacy. Elm adds stability and grounding to a spell.
