Yggdrasil

 As you may remember (fron this post), I have on my reading list The Prose Edda by Snorri Sturluson, which I have sort of started reading, among other books. And in the book there is a drawing of Yggdrasil, the sacred tree that holds the whole universe according to Norse mythology. I love the image. I am now familiar with Yggdrasil, as I have read a lot about Norse mythology and you can generally find a picture of the tree in every book on the subject.What I find cool is that I can now identify some of the critters and characters on it. I am no specialist, but it's still nice to see familiar elements when you read a book.
