Yggdrasil is a World Tree in the Omniverse. When the cosmic egg was formed, so did the cosmic seeds. Which Elyon planted in the cosmos and so sprouted the World Trees. Its branches and roots extend beyond the time and space.

## Overview

Yggdrasil (from Old Norse Yggdrasill) is an immense and central sacred tree. Around it exists all else, including the Nine Worlds. It was born from the body of the ice Jötunn Ymir after being killed by Odin. Yggdrasil is an immense ash tree that is central and considered very holy. However it is separate from the Tree of Life.

The gods go to Yggdrasil daily to assemble at their 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.

## Description

Its branches spread across time and space, its trunk pierces the sky and holds up several realm, including Alfheim, the abode of the Light Elves. Its three roots stretch into Jötunheimr and Asgard. It is said that it will live through Ragnarök.

Yggdrasil was involved in Odin's quest for knowledge and power. When Odin hung, speared, for nine days on the World Tree, he uttered the words that he had 'sacrificed himself onto himself'. This stanza gives a description of the unity existing between the Godhead and the Tree in the myths. To emphasize this connection, it is old English the word treow, which means both tree and truth. Etymologically, then, truth and tree grow out of the same root.

Subsequently, in the Norse creation myth, man and woman originated from trees. Humans from Norse times are all the sons and daughters of the Ash and Elm tree: the first man was called Ask, born from the Ash, and the first woman Embla, born from the Elm. Their oxygen offers us the primordial conditions for life. Ask and Embla sprouted from Yggdrasil’s acorns, and so it is that every human being springs from the fruit of Yggdrasil, then to be collected by two storks, who bring them to their longing mothers-to-be.

## History

Omnia and Nihil, produced an egg with both of their forces. Elyon and Plasmito were formed from a primordial egg. The creation of the egg also created the cosmic seeds. Which Elyon planted in the cosmos and created Yggdrasil, the Tree of Life and other world trees.

The Cosmic Seed is a super dense cosmic heart that will give birth to the next universe to come. Created from the Cosmic Egg before the recording of time and discovered by Elyon along with brother Plasmito. Upon its discovery Elyon planted the seed thus giving birth to the World Tree over which the realms hang.

Yggdrasil was involved in Odin's quest for knowledge and power. When Odin hung, speared, for nine days on Yggdrasil, he uttered the words that he had ‘sacrificed himself onto himself’. To emphasize this connection, it is old English the word treow, which means both tree and truth. Etymologically, then, truth and tree grow out of the same root.

Subsequently, after creation, Odin was permitted to create humans alongside Elyon's humans. These Odin mortals were originated from trees. These mortals times are all the sons and daughters of the Ash and Elm tree: the first man created by Odin was called Ask, born from the Ash, and the first woman Embla, born from the Elm.
