This chapter talks about Viking mythology, focusing on the Yggdrasil tree, the tree of life. We describe the different worlds connected to this tree, including Asgard, Midgard, and Niflheim, as well as the characters that inhabit each. The figure of Odin, the supreme god, and his search for wisdom stands out, which leads him to sacrifice himself and discover the runes. The role of Loki, a deceitful and mischievous god, in the story is explained and how his actions lead to Ragnarok, the end of the world. Finally, we highlight the importance of the Viking worldview to understand the history and culture of the Scandinavian peoples.
