Norse prose edda5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Creatures live within Yggdrasil, including the dragon Níðhöggr, an unnamed eagle, and the stags Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Duraþrór. The branches of Yggdrasil extend far into the heavens, and the tree is supported by three roots that extend far away into other locations one to the well Urðarbrunnr in the heavens, one to the spring Hvergelmir, and another to the well Mímisbrunnr. The gods go to Yggdrasil daily to assemble at their traditional governing assemblies. In both sources, Yggdrasil is an immense ash tree that is central to the cosmos and considered very holy. Yggdrasil is attested in the Poetic Edda compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and in the Prose Edda compiled in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. Around it exists all else, including the Nine Worlds. Yggdrasil (from Old Norse Yggdrasill) is an immense and central sacred tree in Norse cosmology.
