Gehtika - Yggdrasil

Yggdrasil hör som bekant hemma i nordisk mytologi/religion :
"Finally, there is what is known as the axis mundi, or place where the heavens above meet with the earth below in a kind of supernatural intersection. But at the root of all these interpretations is the notion that the universe or, perhaps certain aspects of the universe, are being reflected on the earth. Not as a token ‘brick-to-lego’ interpretation, of course, but in terms of actually recreating and reconstructing the Divine.
Indeed, Eliade refers to this as the ‘repetition of the cosmogony’, which means that the Divine is becoming manifest on a smaller scale. The macrocosm in the microcosm or, to use the well-known Hermetic maxim: ‘As above, so below.’ Once again, not as a worthless simulation, but as a metaphysical display of timeless fidelity and perpetuation. In other words, each time this process takes place the actual Creation of the world is repeated once again at that very moment."

Den hinduiske religionsforskaren Curwen Rolinson skriver följande :
"Predictably, in light of what has gone before, the Voluspa proceeds immediately from its mention of Ask and Embla … to the discussion of a certain Ash Tree. Yggdrasil the Mighty. Which, of course, also has Three Maidens closely associated therewith. It is important to note just how direct the equation of terminology is here – “Ask ok Emblu örlöglausa” when talking about Askr and Embla … “Ask veit ek standa, heitir Yggdrasill” when speaking to the species of Yggdrasil.
This is unlikely to have been coincidental, and instead reflects the fundamental linkage of Indo-European Man to the Axis Mundi, the immanency of Cosmic Order, to this world. Indeed, I should even go so far as to suggest that in the Voluspa rendering of the episode, the ‘naming’ of Ask and Embla to make this connectivity clear (indeed, to grant this connectivity-proper in the first place) is something that should take place as part of the ‘investiture of qualities’ undertaken by The Gods to these mythic progenitors.
Certainly, we have quite some precedent elsewhere in the Nordic canon for the Soul proper to become imparted to a child only when the Naming and Acknowledgement by the Father has taken place.
This immanency of Cosmic Order represented by the Ash Tree as Axis Mundi is then semi-directly stated by the next verse of the Voluspa – wherein it is the carving upon the Tree by these Ash-Maidens that grants ‘Life’ and that essential ‘Orlog’ to Man: “þær lög lögðu, þær líf kuru / alda börnum, örlög seggja.”
