yggdrasil

Yggdrasil is a frequently-used name to describe the world-tree in Old Norse mythology. Scholars can’t seem to agree on much about the tree, from its species (generally considered to be Ash, but not always),to the tree’s name’s origin and meaning, to how the Nine Worlds are supposedly arranged around the great tree. Even the Nine Worlds themselves are up for debate, but one thing that seems commonly accepted is that Yggdrasil is a powerful source that holds all of the worlds together at the center of the universe.
