Story 85: What Kind of Tree is Yggdrasil?

  • Resumen

  • “Couldn’t think of a name for an all-knowing eagle.”

    Yggdrasil, the World Tree, holds all things in its mighty branches. Even this very podcast episode, which features one extra sleepy host!

    Other topics include Snorri Sturluson doing whatever he pleases (again), a reminder that Iceland is very far away from Scandinavia, the hosts’ shocking lack of knowledge about trees, key elements of Norse mythology that are NOT native to Iceland, where the “nine worlds” came from, and how the World Tree might not actually hold all things in its mightly branches.

    A 17th-century Icelandic attempt at drawing fours harts and an ash tree: https://handrit.is/manuscript/view/is/AM04-0738/95?iabr=on#page/42v/mode/2up

    Spoilers for SMITE, God of War: Ragnarok, Vanheim, Thor, and South Park

    Content Warning:
    This episode contains mentions of and conversations about death by hanging, the apocalypse, volcanic eruption, and ecological decline
