Yggdrasil
The immense cosmic ash tree connecting nine worlds in Norse cosmology. Yggdrasil's roots reach into different realms while its branches support the heavens. The tree suffers constant gnawing from creatures yet endures, representing the axis mundi that connects all levels of existence. Yggdrasil symbolizes the cosmic structure, interconnection of all things, and the living universe. Its inevitable fate at Ragnarök and subsequent renewal embodies cycles of destruction and rebirth.
