From: "Shannon Teague" A symbolism of Yggdrasil. -'The tree that would grow to heaven must send its roots to hell.' ---Nietzsche Yggdrasil connects the nine worlds. As such it forms the axis between those worlds, a connection between them. The World Tree may also be taken as a representation of therelationship between the Aesir, Vanir and humanity here in Midgard. Each of the three major sections of the tree can represent on of the a fore mentioned. The Aesir are represented by the leaves and branches of the tree. The trunk is Midgard and humanity while the roots are the Vanir. Each part of the tree has a specific purpose that benefits the whole as well as making it possible for the whole to survive. Take away one section and the whole perishes. The leaves and the branches take the energy of the sun and convert into sustenance for the tree. They represent the Aesir, the sky gods and goddesses. They are the rulers and the shapers. In this respect the leaves and branches also represent the day and the self conscience. The leaves are the light and the sky. The roots of the tree are the Vanir. The roots bring the nutrients and water to the tree. This represents the material that is shaped by consciousness. It is the body and the subconscious. It is the dark and the earth. The trunk represents Midgard and humanity in who these two groups have their influence. The trunk is the axis connecting the two. Humanity is the balance between the light and the dark. So what lesson can we learn from this symbolism? For me it is this. For the tree to be healthy it must have the leaves to bring it sustenance by converting light into food. It must also have the roots to bring it water, minerals and nutrients from the soil. We are like the trunk of that tree. We need to have the influx of the Aesic influences (the leaves of the tree) and the influx of Vanic influences (the roots) to be healthy. Balance between Aesic and Vanic, dark and light, consciousness and sub- consciousness to be healthy and to be able to advance our selves closer and closer to the goal of our journey here in Midgard.

Um simbol�smo da Yggdrasil
-"A arvore que crescer� ate os c�us, precisa extender suas raizes ate o inferno."
---Nietzche
Yggdrasil conecta os nove mundos. Assim como este forma o eixo entre
estes mundos, uma conex�o entre eles.
A arvore do Mundo tamb�m pode ser tomada como uma representa��o da rela��o
entre os �sir, Vanir e a humanidade aqui em Midgar�. Cada uma das tr�s
maiores se��es da arvore pode ser representada sobre o que ja foi mencionado. Os
�sir s�o representados pelas folhas e galhos da arvore. O tronco
� Midgar� e a humanidade enquanto as raizes s�o os Vanir. Cada parte da arvore
tem um prop�sito especifico que beneficia o todo assim como faz o possivel para a
sobrevivencia do todo. Retire uma se��o e todo o resto perecer�.
As folhas e os galhos tomam a energia do sol e a convertem em
subst�ncia para a arvore. Eles representam os �sir. os Deuses e Deusas celestes.
Eles s�o governantes e moldadores. A respeito das folhas e galhos,
eles tamb�m representam o dia e a conci�ncia individual.
As folhas s�o a luz e o c�u.
As raizes da arvore s�o os Vanir. As raizes pegam os nutrientes e
agua para a arvore. Estas representam o material que � moldado pela
conci�ncia. Este � o corpo e o subconci�nte. � a escurid�o e a terra.
O tronco representa Midgar� e a humanidade em quem estes dois grupos tem
sua influ�ncia. O tronco � o eixo conectando os dois. A Humanidade � o
balan�o entre a luz e a escurid�o.
Assim, que li��o podemos aprender deste simbol�smo? Para mim � isto. Para
a arvore permanecer saudavel, esta precisa das folhas para manter seu sustento pelo
converter da luz em comida. Esta tamb�m precisa das raizes para lhe trazer agua,
minerais e nutrientes do solo. N�s somos como o tronco desta arvore.
N�s necessitamos ter o influxo das influ�ncias �sicas (as folhas da arvore)
e o influxo das influ�ncias Vanicas (as raizes) para ser saudavel. Balan�o
entre os �sicos e os Vanicos, escurid�o e luz, conci�ncia e subconci�ncia
s�o necess�rios para ser saudavel e para ser capazes de n�s mesmos avan�armos
cada vez mais perto do objetivo de nossa jornada aqui em Midgar�.
