Yggdrasil... the Norse Ash-tree of existence, has its roots deep-down in the kingdoms of Hel, or Death: its trunk reaches up heaven-high, spreads its boughs over the whole Universe: it is the Tree of Existence. At the foot of it, in the Death-Kingdom, sit the three Norns, Fates--the Past, Present and Future; watering its roots from the Sacred Well.
