Yggdrasil: The Incredible 9 Realms of the Norse World | Norse Mythology

Embark on an epic journey to the heart of the Viking cosmos in this definitive documentary on Yggdrasil and the Nine Worlds of Norse Mythology. Discover the ancient map of reality as envisioned by the peoples of the North—a universe bound together not by empty space, but by the living wood and leaf of a colossal, sacred World Tree. This documentary provides a deep dive into the secrets of Yggdrasil, the great ash tree that stands at the center of all creation. We explore the dark meaning of its name, "Odin's Horse," and the gruesome shamanic sacrifice that tied the Allfather's power to the tree forever. We detail its complex structure, from the three great roots that drink from the wells of fate, wisdom, and creation, to the menagerie of creatures—the dragon Níðhöggr, the squirrel Ratatoskr, the eagle, and the stags—that live upon it, representing a constant struggle between decay and renewal. Then, we begin our grand tour of the Nine Worlds themselves. Journey with us to the shining, golden halls of Asgard, the celestial home of the Aesir gods, and uncover the secrets of Valhalla. We will trek through the green and fertile fields of Vanaheim, explore the shimmering realm of the Light Elves in Alfheim, and stand within the embattled realm of humanity, Midgard. From there, we descend into the dark, chaotic wilderness of Jotunheim, the land of the giants; the subterranean forges of Nidavellir, the home of the dwarves; and finally, into the primordial realms of fiery Muspelheim, icy Niflheim, and the grim, misty underworld of Hel. This historical analysis separates the Poetic Edda from the Prose Edda, exploring how our knowledge of this cosmology was preserved and shaped over centuries. Learn how the Norse worldview, a universe of profound struggle, inescapable fate, and the promise of rebirth after Ragnarök, was all held in the balance on the branches of Yggdrasil. If you are a fan of mythology, ancient history, or the Viking Age, this documentary is for you.
