"Yggdrasil !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Superbe arbre... Je suis sûre qu'il est "sacré" :-))" // "Yggdrasil !!! Great tree. I'm sure it is sacred !" (FLORENCE.V / www.flickr.com/photos/flo59/ )
An ash I know there stands,
Yggdrasill is its name,
a tall tree, showered
with shining loam.
From there come the dews
that drop in the valleys.
It stands forever green over
Urðr's well.

En nuestra última fotográfica nocturna gesta, hete aquí que fuimos a dar, nada más y nada menos que con Yggdrasil, el árbol de la vida de la mitología nórdica, que, desconozco por qué extraños designios, hallábase vagando por tierras de Chinchilla, en la provincia de Albacete :-). Helo ahí, tal cual mostrósenos, recitándonos, mientras refulgía de tal guisa como en la fotografía luce, una estrofa del Hávamál o "Discurso del Altísimo" dictado por el mismísimo Odín, ahí es nada, allá por el Siglo IX y recopilado por escrito en el "Codex Regius" islandés del Siglo XIII:
"El ganado muere, los parientes mueren, tú mismo también morirás, pero tu fama nunca morirá, si te ganas una buena reputación. Los ganados mueren, los parientes mueren, tú mismo también morirás, pero se de algo que nunca morira:
la reputación de los que murieron"
Ello nos fizo emplearnos con mayor empeño en retratarlo como es debido, a fin de ir recabando esa eterna fama :-)
-English:
In our latest night photographic outing, we meet nothing less than Yggdrasil, the tree of life of Norse mythology, which I do not know why strange reason, was wandering through the lands of Chinchilla, in the province of Albacete (Spain) :-). It was before us, when it began to recit to us, while it flamed forth as showed in the photograph, a stanza of the Hávamál or "sayings of the high one", dictated by Odin himself, in the 9th Century and compiled in writing in the Icelandic "Codex Regius" of the 13th century:
"Cattle die, kinsmen die, You yourself will also die, but the word about you will never die, if you win a good reputation. Cattle die, kinsmen die, You yourself will also die, I know one that never dies: the judgement of those who died"
This made us to apply ourselves with still greater dedication to portray it properly in the middle of the night, in order to get that eternal good reputation :-)

I know it's not but amongst all the stone circles, the norse relics and open landscapes and here stands a majestic tree so full and awe-inspiring, it might just be it. Might.
We interrupt our tour of Europe to bring you breaking news of activity in America.
Yggdrasil, the tree that connects the 9 worlds, has appeared in Allen Texas in a little park along Village Green in the Waters Creek complex My grandkids love the place, and no wonder.
After countless moons of toil and steel, our ships are carved from the bones of Yggdrasil itself, our axes thirst, and our hearts burn with fire! The seas tremble beneath our hulls, the winds scream with the names of the fallen! We do not sail for death—we sail to expand our rule, to carve our names deeper into the sagas of this world! Our lands are vast, but they are not enough. Our enemies cower, but they still breathe. We shall break their walls, take their riches, and make their sons and daughters swear fealty or be swept away like dust in the storm! Raise the sails—our dominion grows, and no god nor man will stand in our way!
Nidhogg was the malevolent dragon that gnawed on the roots of Yggdrasil, the World Tree. He was one of the most malicious and dangerous dragons in Norse mythology and was often associated with death and destruction. Nidhogg was believed to be a symbol of chaos and disorder, and his role in Norse mythology was to challenge the order and stability of the cosmos.

Níðhöggr is played by Lord Horatio
He gnaws and tears where no light falls,
beneath the tree, beyond the halls.
But seasons turn, and sap still flows—
The World Tree lives, though darkness grows.
Let him feed, and let him crave—
Yggdrasil will be his grave.
That’s wishful thinking, of course. Níðhöggr survives Ragnarök—of that we’re sure. And yet… life goes on nevertheless.
Yggdrasil (from Old Norse Yggdrasill [ˈyɡːˌdrɑselː]), in Norse cosmology, is an immense and central sacred tree. Around it exists all else, including the Nine Worlds.
Yggdrasil is attested in the Poetic Edda compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and in the Prose Edda written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. In both sources, Yggdrasil is an immense ash tree that is center to the cosmos and considered very holy. The gods go to Yggdrasil daily to assemble at their traditional governing assemblies, called things. The branches of Yggdrasil extend far into the heavens, and the tree is supported by three roots that extend far away into other locations; one to the well Urðarbrunnr in the heavens, one to the spring Hvergelmir, and another to the well Mímisbrunnr. Creatures live within Yggdrasil, including the dragon Níðhöggr, an unnamed eagle, and the stags Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Duraþrór.
The generally accepted meaning of Old Norse Yggdrasill is "Odin's horse", meaning "gallows". This interpretation comes about because drasill means "horse" and Ygg(r) is one of Odin's many names. The Poetic Edda poem Hávamál describes how Odin sacrificed himself by hanging from a tree, making this tree Odin's gallows. This tree may have been Yggdrasil. Gallows can be called "the horse of the hanged" and therefore Odin's gallows may have developed into the expression "Odin's horse", which then became the name of the tree

Yggdrasil was the "World Tree" in nordic mythology, supposedly an enormous sacred Ash tree. Surrounding the world and holding it up in the sky.

YGGDRASIL Exhibition Closing : The original idea and landscape from Carolyn Handrick and Matou Diesel- The 9 Worlds by Klaudia Demonia - Concert by Terra Merhyem . Video 🎥 Serendipity Dyrssen
To be honest, it's not really an ash tree like in the mythology. It's a huge walnut tree that's rooted in my neighbour's garden. Its beautifully shaped branches contrasting with the pastel blues and pinks of the sunset reminded me of the idea how everything is connected and how meaningful the metaphor that a tree supports our sky is to me. If we don't stop killing trees, Ragnarök will be upon us, I'm sure.
Develop your senses- especially learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else.

Niflheim is one of the Nine Worlds and is a location in Norse mythology which sometimes overlaps with the notions of Niflhel and Hel.
Most of the surviving mythology centres on the plights of the gods and their interaction with various other beings, such as humanity and the jötnar, beings who may be friends, lovers, foes or family members of the gods. The cosmos in Norse mythology consists of Nine Worlds that flank a central tree, Yggdrasil. Units of time and elements of the cosmology are personified as deities or beings. Various forms of a creation myth are recounted, where the world is created from the flesh of the primordial being Ymir, and the first two humans are Ask and Embla. These worlds are foretold to be reborn after the events of Ragnarök when an immense battle occurs between the gods and their enemies, and the world is enveloped in flames, only to be reborn anew. There the surviving gods will meet, and the land will be fertile and green, and two humans will repopulate the world.

This Henfatafl board has been beautifully flame etched. The tree has to be Yggdrasil. I don't really know the names of the boats but the old Norse is as good as anything Alptr - the swan, Falki - the hawk, Gragas - the grey goose and Visundr - the bison.
The Norns – Guardians of Time
At the roots of Yggdrasil sit the three Norns.
Urðr guards the past, Verðandi spins the present, and Skuld conceals the future.
Their hands weave the threads of fate, and even the gods must bow to their work.
In the silence, the threads glow faintly – millions of lives, woven together in a pattern only the Norns can see.
In Norse mythology, Lif (Líf) and Lifthrasir (Lífþrasir) are the two humans who survive Ragnarök, the end of the world.
When the gods perish, the sun darkens and the earth sinks into the sea, they hide within Hoddmímir’s Holt – a sacred grove, often understood as part of the World Tree Yggdrasil.
After the flames have faded, they emerge into a new world. They live on dew and morning light, and from them the next generation of humankind is born.
Lif and Lifthrasir thus symbolize the indestructible power of life – hope enduring through destruction.
Mythologically, they represent both natural renewal and spiritual rebirth – the eternal circle of life that can never be broken.
I am very happy about this picture. It has a nice look and draws me in and making me think about things. The Three of life!
Yggdrasil shakes, and shiver on high
The ancient limbs, and the giant is loose;
To the head of Mim does Othin give heed,
But the kinsman of Surt shall slay him soon.
How fare the gods? how fare the elves?
All Jotunheim groans, the gods are at council;
Loud roar the dwarfs by the doors of stone,
The masters of the rocks: would you know yet more?
