****Germanic Mythology
In Norse mythology, Yggdrasil is an immense tree that is central in Norse cosmology; the world tree, and around the tree existed nine worlds. It is generally considered to mean "Ygg's (Odin's) horse". Yggdrasil is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th. In both sources, Yggdrasil is an immense ash tree that is central and considered very holy. The gods go to Yggdrasil daily to hold their courts. The branches of Yggdrasil extend far into the heavens, and the tree is supported by three roots that extend far away into other well locations. Something happens to Yggdrasil during the events of Ragnarök. Ragnarök (Old Norse "final destiny of the gods") is a series of future events, including a great battle foretold to ultimately result in the death of a number of major figures (including the gods Odin, Thor, Týr, Freyr, Heimdall, and Loki), the occurrence of various natural disasters, and the subsequent submersion of the world in water. Afterward, the world will resurface anew and fertile, the surviving and reborn gods will meet, and the world will be repopulated by two human survivors. Ragnarök is an important event in the Norse canon, and has been the subject of scholarly discourse and theory. Bifrost is the rainbow bridge between Asgard (heaven) and Midgard (earth).
Thor is a hammer-wielding god associated with thunder, lightning, storms, oak trees, strength, destruction, fertility, healing, and the protection of mankind. Thor is a prominently mentioned god throughout the recorded history of the Germanic peoples. Into the modern period, Thor continued to be acknowledged in rural folklore throughout Germanic regions. Thor is frequently referenced in place names, the day of the week Thursday ("Thor's day") bears his name, and names stemming from the pagan period containing his own continue to be used today. Thor is the son of the god Odin and the personified earth. Thor wields the mountain-crushing hammer, wears the belt and the iron gloves, and owns the staff. Thor's exploits, including his relentless slaughter of his foes and fierce battles with the monstrous serpent—and their foretold mutual deaths during the events of Ragnarök—are recorded.
Yggdrasil - Thus there are at least six worlds, each being the homeworld of a particular family of beings. 1.Menn (humans): Miðgarðr.; 2.Aesir (gods): Ásgarðr.; 3.Vanir (gods): Vanaheimr.; 4.Jötnar (giants): Jötunheimr.; 5.Álfar (elves): Álfheimr.; 6.Náir (corpses, the other world of the dead): Hel.; 7.Dvergar (dwarves): Svartálfaheimr.; 8.Primordial element of Ice: Niflheimr.; 9.Primordial element of Fire: Muspellsheimr.
