Ygdrasil and clever birds

Ygdrasil the tree of life in nordic mythology or Axis Mundi, and the begining of the world. More to come... but while researching I also study Odin with his two birds Hugin (Thought) and Munin (Memory).
.
...At sunrise Odin sends them off to fly throughout the whole world. They come back at mealtime, sits on Odin’s shoulders, and tell him all the news they
saw or heard...

Odin so gathers knowledge, and just to remind you that Ravens
and their brothers Crows, are actually, also in non-mythological time, very intelligent birds: Here a funny scientific experiment

Til Rag-Mil, med tak for dit inspirerende naervaerd!
PS. Efter at have modtaget en chokerende nyhed
plejede min mormor at sige:
"Vel, man skal sandelig höre meget för örene falder af!"
