In Chapter 2, Ygdrasil connects the worlds and sustains their creatures, while springs beneath its roots supply wisdom and a meeting place for divine judgment. The account explains Odin’s sacrifice for a drink, the gods’ daily journeys, and the norns’ power over human lives and care for the threatened tree.
Co se stane
- Ygdrasil sustains life throughout the universe, with three roots extending toward the asas, the giants, and Niflheim.
- Mimer drinks wisdom-bearing water each morning, and Odin receives a drink by leaving an eye as security.
- The gods ride across Bifrost to their council, while Thor wades through rivers and giants cannot cross the bridge.
- Urd, Verdande, and Skuld determine human lifespans, while other good and evil norns distribute different fortunes.
- Creatures occupy and damage Ygdrasil, and Ratatosk encourages conflict between its eagle and Nidhug.
- The norns preserve the tree with sacred water and clay; its dew feeds bees, and the fountain shelters ancestral swans.

Why does Thor walk instead of crossing the gods’ bridge?
