Norse cosmology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Norse cosmology, as it is described in Norse mythology, recognizes the existence of multiple worlds and the World Tree Yggdrasill. The cosmological allusions in the Poetic Edda are often vague and the more clear descriptions in the Prose Edda are influenced by mediaeval Christian cosmology.
