  • Norse cosmology consists of Nine Realms, all interconnected by the branches and roots of a cosmic tree-formation known as the Yggdrasil. Midgard, which is in fact Earth, is the realm located on the middle of this cosmic distribution of realms.
  • The cosmology of Norse mythology has 'nine homeworlds', unified by the world tree Yggdrasil. Mapping the nine worlds escapes precision because the Poetic Edda often alludes vaguely, and the Prose Edda may be influenced by medieval Christian cosmology. The Norse creation myth tells how everything came into existence in the gap between fire and ice, and how the gods shaped the homeworld of humans. __TOC__
