Song of the Day - 22nd April
Today's Song of the Day celebrates a day many of us may be unfamiliar with. 22nd April is Yggdrasil Day. Yggdrasil is the World Tree in Norse mythology, a great Ash Tree that connects our world to the others, with branches that reach high into the Heavens. The tree is supported by its three great roots and is the place where Gods collectively govern over our world. Also known in much of the world as the 'Tree of Life', this day is all about celebrating it as the source of life and of the magnificent nature that supports us and the world around us. It is important to understand our place within the Universe and to spend time appreciating the co-dependency that we have for each other's existence. You can honour Yggdrasil Day by finding a quiet woodland space. Allow yourself to become immersed with your surroundings and be one with the blessings of nature. The generally accepted meaning of Old Norse Yggdrasill is "Odin's horse", meaning "gallows"....
