In    Horse      m ythology,
          Yggdrasill  is  the  name  of
          an ash tree which symbol­
          izes  existence,  and  binds
          togeth er  earth,  heaven
          and  hell.  It's  branches
          overshadow the world and
          it's  three  roots  thrust  far
          into the underworld. It is a
          tree  o f  life,  knowledge,
          fate and time whose name
          m eans  "the  bearer  o f
          Odin"  -  the  inventor  o f
          poetry, magic and the wis­
          est  and  greatest  o f  all
          gods.  The  gods,  under  its
          spreading  branches,  met
          in  solemn  assembly  and
          drank  from   the  sacred
          well.
