The Yggdrassil is a sacred tree where the Old Norse gods held court, and found in many Viking poems. It links the nine realms of the world together and is under attack everyday from rot, from stags, from serpents. But what if I told you it's name isn't what we think it is?
This is a talk discussing the possibility that the Yggdrasil/Yggdrassils, often thought to mean gallows of Odin's Horse, isn't the name of the tree. And discusses what the tree probably was called earlier on in the days of our ancestors.
