Silver pendant Yggdrasil
With Yggdrasil, the world tree, the world view of Nordic and Germanic mythology is clearly explainedand represented. Numerous myths and legends in the most varied of cultures were found in trees when
explaining their understanding of the universe, which is why they were often used symbolically for their
ideas.
The trees were e.g. also as a sign of life and fertility as well as the connection to all life in general.
Trees were also seen as a link between gods and humans. In Nordic-Germanic mythology, the evergreen
world ash Yggdrasil was used.
The term Yggdrasil is made up of the Old Norse words Ygg (horror or fear) and Drasill (horse), which is a
connection to Odin's horse Sleipnir. Yggdrasil was not only the first tree, but is also so huge in its
dimensions that the branches of the ash tree spread out over all nine worlds and thus connect them.
At the top of the tree trunk lives an eagle that has no name. Between his two eyes was a hawk named
Vedrfölnir.Yggdrasil was divided into three levels, which are the upper world, the middle world, which
also includes the earth and the underworld.
