New SPEC: are you Hugh question from Carol

Doing cluesearch for the meaning beyond the myths, word entered was Yggdrasil... what I can across...

http://www.earth-dancing.com/yggdrasil.htm

Quote:

Asgar�r (AHZ-gahrd) The realm of the �sir Gods and Goddesses. Represents individuality, ones highest plane, ones higher self, spirituality. It contains many halls and houses with "Valhalla" as the main hall and is ruled by the All Father, Odin/Odhinn/Woden/ Wotan, and his consort and equal Freyja/Frija/Frigg/Frigga the All Mother. This is the realm of "myne" (memory) and "hugh" (intellect) of the mind.

and the following further down...

Quote:

Lojossalheimr is the world of the light elves containing sub-strata of halls or abodes of white light. This is where the brightness of the human intellect (hugh) is derived.

I think my next question to Carol might be are you myne or are you hugh?

Another helping of SPEC.... Three Wells for Carol's Riddle

Carols random riddle answer:

Quote:

Perhaps a question for a question? What is tall as a house, as round as a cup, and all the kings horses can't draw it up?

The answer is Well.

YGGDRASIL

The World Ash Tree of Norse mythology, consists of three huge roots and is considered to be the pillar of the Universe. Each root goes into one of three wells.

The first root is in Vanaheimr and goes into the Well of Urd or Well of Wryd, where the three Norns live in their cave perpetually deciding the fate of human beings. The three sisters are "Urd "that which has become," Verdandi "that which is becoming," and Skuld "that which will become."

Wyrd is a name that originated with the three Norse sisters known as the Norns. They were known as Urd - "that which has become," Verdandi - "that which is becoming," and Skuld - "that which should become." One of the three great roots of the Yggdrasil reaches into the Well of Wyrd keeping the World Tree replenished. At the well of Wyrd, the three Norns, also known as the Sisters of Wyrd, continuously "rist" (rist, means to engrave) Rune staves which are continuously thrown into the Well of Wyrd. The Well of Wyrd contains all the cosmic knowledge from the beginning of all time.

There is so much going on in the Cosmic Tree of Life! At the very top of the Tree there is a hawk named Veldrolnir. He is perched on top of the wise Eagle's forehead. The Eagle when it flaps its wings causes the winds of the earth to blow. At the root of the tree is a serpent named Nidhoggr that is responsible for constantly destroying the Yggdrasil by gnawing at its roots. A squirrel named Ratatosk constantly runs up and down the tree exchanging insults between the wise eagle and Nidhoggr. The four harts or stags Dain, Dvalin, Duneyr, and Durathror have voracious appetites constantly nibbling at the leaves of the Yggdrasil! It is said that they represent the four directional winds when they run around.

The second of the three roots goes into the Well of Mimir in the land of the giants known as Rimes-Thursar (the Frost Giants) in Jotunheimr. This is where Odin sacrificed one of his eyes for a drink from the bubbling cauldron, a well of enlightenment, so that he would speak eloquently.

The third root stretches into the Well of Helvelgamar, an underground spring of Nilfheim where Nidhoggr, the terrible serpent, is coiled around the base of the tree constantly eating at the roots of the Yggdrasil. This is the underworld presided over by the goddess Hel, Loki's daughter who is one of his three off springs. While locked by a gate within her realm, she resides over life and death and is half living and half dead as well.

The roots of the Yggdrasil produced a magic fluid called aurr. This is probably the life giving lunar blood that lies secretly at the root of all universal-elixir myths. The Yggdrasil was also the universal mother, "source of unborn souls." The first man, Askr, was created from the Ash tree and the first woman, Embla, was created from the Elm tree, and it was Odin that blew the breath of life into both of them.

Well of Urd (Wryd): that which has become, that which is becoming, and that which will become... Carol has said "i am becoming"

Well of Mimir: enlightenment... isn't that what we are all seeking Very Happy

Well of Helvelgamar: land of life and death.... (Diana and Meaghan?)

More questions to ask Carol. Wink
