🪙 — In Erda (Physical World) the Tree is planted and cultivated by the senses. 

Its design is seen with the eye and its colours appreciated. Wherever we see those colours we should think of the Heims concerned. 

We can smell the perfumes of the Tree, and touch its form-attributions. Our ears should be trained to classify sounds and speech appropriately. All this can be worked into ritual practices.

⚔️ — In Sindri (Mental World) there is an enormous field of work to be done with the Tree. We can study its philosophy, perceive and solve its problems, consider its patternpossibilities, and learn one by one the lessons presented to an intelligent pupil by its ordered arrangements. There are no known ends to its mental stimuli or the answers arrived at.

🏆 — In Brimir (Soul World) the Tree is approached on the ethical and moral level as a code of conduct and standards embodying the highest principles to be found by a seeking soul. Here we learn the laws of living in harmony and balanced relationship with all Being and beings.

🪄  — In Gimlé (Spirit World), the Tree takes on the aspects of the Living God. Here we approach the Tree with worship, devotion, prayer, and sheer joy of contact with extensions of the Supreme Spirit : Wotan riding Sleipnir.

It must be emphasised heavily, however, that the Tree, wonderful as it may be, is a means and not an end. It is not in itself an object for worship or some idol for superstitious reverence. Yggdrasil is a means, a method, a map, and a mechanism, for assisting the attainment of the single objective common to all Creeds, Systems, Mysteries, and Religions, namely the Mystical Union, the Yoga of Human and Divinity in the Great ATONEMENT.

With this Eternal End in view, let us commence climbing Yggdrasil.
