Reviews
A short texts discussing the etymology of the term Yggdrasil and speculations as to term use in the poetic and prose eddas. Most of the discussion focuses on language itself as opposed to mythology, but covers Odin's hanging from the world tree as well as His horse Slepnir. Interesting read for students of the old Germanic ways and Odin's devotees.
