Yggdrasil is the representation of creation as a whole with space, time and content.It stands at the center of the world. As the axis of the world, it connects the three levels: heaven, middle world and underworld. The Edda also calls it the tree of measure, because the world only reaches as far as its branches and roots reach, and creation lasts only as long as it lasts. Since Yggdrasil's life is always renewed or because Yggdrasil is evergreen, the world ash is also a symbol of immortality, the withering and trembling a symbol that everything will eventually pass away.
