The
Norse World Tree or Yggdrasil is depicted with Odin
sacrificing himself as an initiation into the
Mysteries as referenced in the Havamal. Above him
Ratatosk, the squirrel ferries insults between
Niddhogg the dragon, the force of destruction in the
tree's roots and the Eagle who represents the
highest spiritual light. The three Norns are seen as
Past, Present and Future as they constantly pour
healing waters on the tree's roots to heal the
damage of Niddhogg. Below them sits Hel in the
Underworld flanked by Asgard with its Rainbow Bridge
and Jotunheim with Mimir's head.
