Yggdrasil

The poem further mentions how the three Norns resided underneath Yggdrasil,the cosmic tree that holds the universe and its realms.

Hel, who dwelt under one of the three roots of the sacred ash Yggdrasil, was the daughter of the wicked Loki.

A wonderful tree, named “Yggdrasil,” connected all the worlds.

A still grander mythical synthesis was the representation of the whole world under the form of the sacred ash tree Yggdrasil.

The Norns, three sisters, also lived at the roots of Yggdrasil, and were careful to see that it was watered every day.

She was a child of Loki and the giantess Angurboda, and dwelt beneath the roots of the sacred ash, Yggdrasil.
