Step 2 of 8 · Sacrifice and What It Buys
Odin’s Hanging
Why this step
The poem does not name the tree. The Yggdrasil entry explains that scholars almost universally accept it is meant to be Yggdrasill. If so, the hanging belongs on the same tree as the wells, the Norns and the creatures described elsewhere in this section.
From the Lorebook
Odin hangs nine nights on a windswept tree and takes up the runes.
