Yggdrasil - Knotwork Tree of Life Pendant -

This very special design comes from Rod of Serbia.
As in all ancient civilizations, in Slavic mythology the world is portrayed as a sacred tree, or the Tree of life (usually oak), which with its eternal regenerating vegetation symbolizes life itself. Its top represents the sky, its roots – the realms of the underworld. The top is the place of Gods, led by Perun the ruler of the mankind and the master of the sky, while deep in the underground, in its roots, resides Veles as a serpent or a dragon, and rules the world of our ancestors. Therefore, the tree is our link with the gods and our ancestors. The most respected temple of the gods that gathers strong energies that inspire, protect and heal us, and invoke consciousness and spirituality.

"There stands an ash called Yggdrasil,
A mighty tree showered in white hail.
From there come the dews that fall in the valleys.
It stands evergreen above Urd’s Well.

From there come maidens, very wise,
Three from the lake that stands beneath the pole.
One is called Urd, another Verdandi,
Skuld the third; they carve into the tree
The lives and destinies of children."
