aka The World Tree
According to Nordic legend, it connects the three worlds: Gladsheim (or Asgard), Midgard (or Earth), and Niflheim (or Hell). Its roots are deeply embedded in Niflheim, while its trunk soars through Midgard, and its branches hold up Gladsheim.
Yggdrasil is analogous to Marduk's spear and the Tower of Babel in the sense that it holds the firmament down, and if it is destroyed, we can kiss this world goodbye.
