      He originally wasn’t the head, it was the warrior god Tyr that was the head. Then as a concept of ruling nobility and esoteric mysticism sweeped through Germanic peoples Odin became top dog. Then in the last days of Norse Pagans Thor became top dog, a hero ruler to fight against the Christians that were their enemies. Also, some places had gods other than Odin as top dog, like southern Sweden had Freyr.

      Balder can't die because of a curse from Freya because she didn't ever want her child to hurt or die. But as a result of the curse couldn't feel pain, pleasure, heat, cold, anything. Couldn't taste smell or anything. What brakes his curse is a mistletoe arrow or spear because of Löki.

      @@RAMMSSHADOW you are wrong tho, please stop taking info from video games. The gods decided to protect baldr (the most beautiful and loved god of all) by making every being and essence swear on Odins spear (oaths sworn on the spear cannot be broken) to not hurt Baldr. This angered Loki and he found out from drunk gods that mistletoe didn't swore the oath because it was harmless. While testing out the oaths nothing could hurt baldr. Except the arrow from loki (made from misletoe) wich killed him. They went to the god of death and asked for baldr to rise again. She said she would only allow it if every being in the universe would cry over baldr being dead. That being said every being cried and wept at the lost of the most beautiful god, except one troll. They begged the troll to cry but he did not, wich caused baldr to be gone forever. This troll turned out to be loki and when the gods found out, they tied him onto rocks in a cave. With a snake hanging above him with his large fangs out. And every so often a drop of venom would drip on Loki's head, causing agonizing pain. Where he would remain until ragnarok

    There's a story by Beatrix Potter, "The tale of Squirrel Nutkin" were this squirrel is really rude and gets himself almost killed by a giant owl that guarded a Tree. Maybe she got inspiration for that story from Ratatoskr. The anime "Ah Megamisama" o "Oh My Goddess" uses the Norns name for the main 3 female characters "Beldandy, Url and Skuld", in that anime there's a lot of viking myths since they use Yggdrasil and other creatures for the series.

      Yes it is interesting and the more you search you feel like you're getting closer to God and the truth. But, can't find the beginning and there is no end.
      In the Book of Daniel,
      Dan. 10:21
      Dan. 12:13
      Daniel was told what was written in the book of truth, and will rise up at the end times.
      Born Again, with the truth, he is the Holy Spirit, the third person to come.
      We'll have to wait to see. It is written.

    I believe that Yggdrasil is a metaphor for the Laniakea supercluster, as it resembles a tree with the various realms(galaxies) hanging from it, including ours. This knowledge of the structures of the universe was within reach of the ancient people somehow, either through the use of magic mushrooms & DMT, or by some fantastical contact with a spacefaring civilization above us on the Kardashev scale.
