message: === Historical roots===
The historical roots of the nordic :en:world tree are going back to :en:indogermanic times, because the :en:world tree is owned by the fund of many indogermanic tribes:Jens Peter Schjødt: Weltenbaum.

In the zircumpolar schamanistic cultures of the euro asiatic north similiar imaginations can be found of the world tree, like reported from yggdrasil. Reallexikon der germanischen Altertumskunde – Bd. 7. 2. Auflage. Verlag Walter de Gruyter, Berlin – New York 1989, ISBN 978-3-11-011445-4, S. 92.
The world tree is also represented in the mythologies and :en:folklore of :en:Northern Asia and :en:Siberia. In the mythology of the Samoyeds, the world tree connects different realities (underworld, this world, upper world) together. In their mythology the world tree is also the symbol of Mother Earth who is said to give the Samoyed :en:shaman his drum and also help him travel from one world to another.
The symbol of the world tree is also common in :en:Tengriism, an ancient religion of :en:Mongols and :en:Turkic peoples.
The world tree is visible in the designs of the :en:Crown of Silla, :en:Silla being one of the :en:Three Kingdoms of Korea. This link is used to establish a connection between Siberian peoples and those of :en:Korea.

===:en:Etymology===
The generally accepted meaning of Old Norse Yggdrasill is "Odin's horse". This conclusion is drawn on the basis that drasill means "horse" and Ygg(r) is one of Odin's many names. The Poetic Edda poem :en:Hávamál describes how Odin sacrificed himself to himself by hanging from a tree, making this tree Odin's :en:gallows. This tree may have been Yggdrasil. Gallows can be called "the horse of the hanged" and therefore Odin's :en:gallows may have developed into the expression "Odin's horse", which then became the name of the tree.Simek (2007:375).
Nevertheless, scholarly opinions regarding the precise meaning of the name Yggdrasill vary, particularly on the issue of whether Yggdrasill is the name of the tree itself. In the :en:Prose Eddahttp://www.archive.org/details/elderorpoeticedd01brayuoft. the tree is usually not just called Yggdrasil but askr Yggdrasils. Old Norse askr means "ash tree" and according to the  inflectional system of :en:Icelandic language askr Yggdrasils means "Yggdrasill's ash". Icelandic has the best preserved inflectional system of the Norse languages and the :en:Prose Edda was also written in old Icelandic. These etymologies do though rely on a presumed but unattested *Yggsdrasill.
A third interpretation, presented by F. Detter, is that the name Yggdrasill refers to the word yggr ("terror"), yet not in reference to the Odinic name, but rather as Yggdrasill as the "tree of terror, gallows". F. R. Schröder has proposed a fourth etymology according to which yggdrasill means "yew pillar", deriving yggia from *igwja (meaning "yew-tree"), and drasill from *dher- (meaning "support").
===Symbolic of Yggdrasil=== 
Yggdrasil, the world tree, incarnates the creation at all: spacial, timely and in content. It is a :en:world tree, because it stands in the center of the world and connecting all worlds together. As world axis (:en:axis mundi) it connects the three levels upper world(heaven), middle world(earth), and under world(hell) as a pillar of heaven. The :en:edda calls it also the gaugle(mjǫt) tree. The world reaches only so far as his branches and roots and the creation exists only as long as it exists: an ensign of :en:spacetime. Yggdrasil is also an ensign of life itself, and from decay and becoming, the renewal of life. The animals at the tree take from it´s life force, the three norns are sprinkling it with the holy water of :en:urðarbrunnr and donate to it always again new life force. Because yggdrasil´s life is renewed always again or because yggdrasil is evergreen, the world ash tree is also an ensign of immortality. Through odin´s self sacrifice yggdrasil becames also a sacrifice tree. Because odin is hanging himself at the tree, to reach the secret knowledge at the roots of yggdrasil, you can see also a knowlegde tree in yggdrasil, over it you can reach secret knowledge (runes).Mariko Namba Walter und Eva Jane Neumann Fridman: Shamanism – 2 Bd.e. 2004, ISBN 1-57607-645-8, Bd. 1, S. 263 f.

===Yggdrasil in fairy tales (names maybe wrong original long time inside german WP yggdrasil now in history but maybe anybody knows sure the fairy tale names)===
In fairy tales a tree with golden apples, and sometimes even explicitly from the tree of life is the speech: Grimm's Fairy Tales # 17 The White Snake , No. 21 Cinderella , No. 24 Mother Holle , No. 29 The Devil with the Three Golden Hairs , No. 31 The Girl Without Hands , No. 47 from juniper tree , No. 53 Snow White , No. 57 The Golden Bird , No. 88 , the singing springing lark , No. 96 De three Vügelkens , No. 121 The king's son, who afraid of nothing , No. 130 One-Eye, Two-Eyes and Three ; Note to KHM 82 , 125 
===Modern influence===
In modern times, Yggdrasil is sometimes depicted or referenced in modern popular culture. Modern works of art depicting Yggdrasil include Die Nornen (painting, 1888) by K. Ehrenberg; Yggdrasil (:en:fresco, 1933) by Axel Revold, located in the :en:University of Oslo library auditorium in :en:Oslo, :en:Norway; Hjortene beiter i løvet på Yggdrasil asken (wood :en:relief carving, 1938) on the :en:Oslo City Hall by Dagfin Werenskjold; and the bronze relief on the doors of the :en:Swedish Museum of National Antiquities (around 1950) by B. Marklund in :en:Stockholm, Sweden. Poems mentioning Yggdrasil include Vårdträdet by :en:Viktor Rydberg and Yggdrasill by J. Linke.Simek (2007:376). The tree is also referenced in the contemporary science fiction works of Dan Simmons (Hyperion Cantos) and is the name of a psychedelic trance DJ.
Many fantasy books, films and computer games are inspired by :en:german mythology and yggdrasil like :en:The Lord of the rings, :en:Viking: Battle for Asgard, :en:Yggdrasil Labyrinth, :en:Mana (series) and :en:Oh My Goddess!. :en:Ygdrassil (musical group), Band Fallen Yggdrasilhttp://www.fallen-yggdrasil.de/, Game Yggdrasilhttp://www.spiele-offensive.de/Spiel/Yggdrasil-1010048.html, The sweden symphonic-metal-band therion published 2001 a concert album, with a own song for every of the nine worlds of Yggdrasil. The sweden symphonic-metal-band therion published 2001 a concert album, with a own song for every of the nine worlds of Yggdrasil and :en:Yggdrasil (album) by :en:Bump of Chicken. 
In the :en:Marvel Comics Universe, Yggdrasil is depicted as a tree-like network of various worlds and planes of existence through which the Asgardians can travel to various locations including Asgard and Midgard (Earth). This version of the tree is featured in the :en:Marvel Cinematic Universe as a plot focus in the 2011 film adaptation Thor. 
It is also touched upon in the 2012 crossover film The Avengers and will likely be featured in the 2013 sequel :en:Thor: The Dark World. 
It is also highly featured in the series :en:The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel by Michael Scott.
In the book 'the alchemyst' by Michael Scott the Yggdrasil is one of two trees of that name. The first, serves as Hekate's home in her shadowrealm. The second is but mentioned to be Odin's.
In the novel "Hyperion" by Dan Simmons, the Yggdrasil is one of four miles-long Treeships in existence, and the spaceship on which the seven pilgrims to Hyperion are transported, under the command of "the true voice of the tree" Het Masteen and his Templar crew.
The :en:Warcraft universe contains several similarly named "World Trees" on the world of Azeroth: Nordrassil, Teldrassil and Vordrassil.
It was also featured as a setting in the novel The Alchemyst by Michael Scott.
Another more recent reference is in the six-part anime miniseries Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne, where it is depicted as a massive tree that periodically appears and produces "time fruits," which, upon entering a woman's body, make them immortal.

The :en:Warcraft universe contains several similarly named "World Trees" on the world of Azeroth: Nordrassil, Teldrassil and Vordrassil.
It was also featured as a setting in the novel The Alchemyst by Michael Scott.
Another more recent reference is in the six-part anime miniseries Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne, where it is depicted as a massive tree that periodically appears and produces "time fruits," which, upon entering a woman's body, make them immortal.
