Yggdrasil, Odin's Tree, the Cross in all of its forms, The Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, the wood of the cradle of the Infant Christ and of course, the Evergreen tree at Yuletide and Christmas are all faces of the World Tree. In ritual the World Tree is, of course the Stang, the Altar Itself, the Spiral Castle, the very priest, magician and devotee. The World Tree is the not only the Axis Mundi, put the sharp pendulum joining the Overworld, the Otherworld and the Apparent World in which we stand. The World Tree is not only a place to observe, but the place in which the devotee stands and experiences life and power and the presence of God constantly reborn.
