The World Tree: Yggdrasill

 The world tree, also known as Yggdrasill or Mimameidr in Old Norse, is a massive ash tree that supports the cosmos. Three of its roots reached Asgard, the abode of the gods, Jötunheim, the country of the giants, and Niflheim, the underworld. Three wells were located at the base of the tree: Urdarbrunnr (Well of Fate), from which the Norns (the Fates) watered the tree, Hvergelmir (Roaring Kettle), where Nidhogg, the monster that nibbled at the tree's roots, lived, and Mimir's Well (Source of Wisdom), for whose waters Odin sacrificed an eye. Despite being severely disturbed, the world tree was to be the source of fresh life after Ragnarök (Doomsday).  Asgard The sir, a group of gods that rule over Asgard and include Odin, Frigg, and Thor, reside there.

Amaterasu, the Sun goddess and divine ancestor of the first Emperor Jimmu, was born from Izanagi's eye. When Izanagi washed his face, the birth of Amaterasu coincided with that of Susanoo, the storm god, and the Moon-god. Conflict and strife abound in myths about the Sun, Moon, and Storm kami. In Japanese folklore, interpersonal disputes between the Sun goddess and her sister, the moon god, account for why the Sun and the Moon do not remain in the sky at the same time. They both dislike one another, which causes them to turn awa
