Base background/mytology information

Yggdrasil (Hoddmímis holt, Mímameiðr or Læraðr), the Nordic tree of life, is one of the most important Norse mythology symbols. Early attestations of Yggdrasil in Old Norse poetry include references in: Völuspá, Grímnismál and Snorri's Prose Edda.

In addition to these poetic references, there are early runic and artistic depictions of what anthropologists believe is Yggdrasil in tapestries, on rune stones, and in carvings.
