  Yggdrasil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Norse mythology, Yggdrasil (actually Yggdrasill [ˈygˌdrasil:]; the extra -l is a nominative case marker) also sometimes called Mimameid or Lerad was the "World tree", a gigantic tree, thought to connect all the nine worlds of Norse cosmology.
Yggdrasil is also central in the myth of Ragnarok, the end of the world.
Yggdrasil apparently had smaller counterparts as the enormous evergreen of unknown species that stood at the Temple at Uppsala and Irminsul, which was an oak venerated by the pagan Saxons and which was said to connect heaven and earth.

 Tree of life (disambiguation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The tree of life appears in Norse religion as Yggdrasil, the world tree, the ash tree (sometimes thought to be yew) with an eagle on top and a serpent, offering immortality, on the bottom.
An interesting similarity was found in China, where carvings of a tree with a bird on top and a dragon at the bottom were discovered fairly recently.

Yggdrasil is the world Ash tree that connects all of the Nine Worlds of Norse mythology, namely, Asgard, Alfheim, Vanheim, Niflheim, Midgard, Muspelheim, Jotunheim, Svartalfheim, and Hel.
The tree survives the torment of Nithog nibbling at its roots, while the stags and goats tear the leaves and bark from the tree.
On the last day, an eagle drops words out of his mouth, including "egg, sword, and fire." Odin tells the bird that he knows about the existence of these objects already, but his plea is rendered helpless as the eagle flies away.

In Norse mythology, the World Tree Yggdrasil is commonly held to be an ash tree, and the first man, Ask, was formed from an ash tree (the first woman was made from alder).

Pictured as placed somewhere in the middle of Yggdrasil, Midgard is surrounded by a world of water or ocean, which is impassable.
The ocean is inhabited by the great sea serpent Jormungand, who is so huge that he encircles the world entirely, grasping his own tail.

 Odin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Odin was consumed as much by his passion for knowledge as his passion for wisdom, and hung himself upon the world tree to obtain the runes of cosmic mystery.
As described in the Rúnatal, a section of the Havamal, he hanged himself from the tree Yggdrasil, whilst pierced by his own spear, to acquire knowledge.
He remained thus for nine days and nights, a number deeply significant in Norse magical practice (there were, for example, nine realms of existence), thereby learning nine (later eighteen) magical songs and eighteen magical runes.
