Historical roots

[編集]
en:Yule (en:Names of Odin) Træet. Two times in edda that deers eating "barr" that can be translated with needles.[1] Primary was yggdrasil before christmas tree today still used in scandinavia with god Thor bringing the presents in his goat car reason for straw goats. The christmas tree pebbles are standing for en:Iduns (en:pomegranate) apples of youth and en:valknut, en:triquetta, en:odal rune, en:pentacles etc. can be added. In principle every tree can stand for yggdrasil but man was made from oak and woman from elm after edda[2].

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:[3] Balten (the oak en:Austras Koks), indians (the banyan tree en:Ashvattha), persian (en:Simurgh Tree) and slav – also the Tree of the Hesperides of the Greeks. In this mythologies is most a bird of prey at the top and/or a snake on the roots. In the zircumpolar schamanistic cultures of the euro asiatic north similiar imaginations can be found of the world tree, like reported from yggdrasil. [4] 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.

Less deputized is that the christmas tree is reaching only backwards to 16 century and was coming from missionary overlaying in date of unknown jesus christ birth date on yggdrasil en:yule still used in en:Scandinavia not as christian symbol called Yula Træet.[5]

en:Etymology

At bottom left is well en:Urðarbrunnr. If the tree starts quake or wilt end en:Ragnarök is near. (1882) by en:Ludwig Burger.
en:Norns pouring three jars of fate on the roots same countries like three springs in paradise from Die Helden und Götter des Nordens, oder das Buch der Sagen (1832)
en:Charlemagne destroys en:Irminsul(Yggdrasil) in the time of forced en:christianisation, en:inquisition and en:Capitulatio de partibus Saxoniae. Wall painting (1880) from Hermann Wislicenus in Kaiserpfalz Goslar.

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.[6] 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 Edda[7] 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.[6] 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").[6]

Symbolic of Yggdrasil

[編集]
Yggdrasil in an icelandic hand writing of 17. century. Three big roots, one growing to en:Jötunheim the coutry of giants where is also en:Mimirs well. The other root is growing to misty en:Niflheim near spring en:Hvergelmir, where jealous dragon (en:Nidhöggr) gnaws on it. The third root is near en:Asgard. Four deers en:Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Duraþrór eating away the buds. Two snakes en:Goin and en:Moin also gnawing on the roots.

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).[8]

Modern influence

Norns writing and interacting the fate at yggdrasil tree on en:Färöer stamp by en:Anker Eli Petersen

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.[9] 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 Yggdrasil[10], Game Yggdrasil[11], 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.
