from ymir's skull into yggdrasil.




Album cover art for Yggdrasil (9)'s ‎Prose Edda (2009). If we run with Gaiman's re-framing of cosmic giant Ymir as being primordially sexless, the androgynous head fits, and the being's skull is then employed to dome the World Tree.

[Honestly we find the niche of Shpongle Music pretty goofy, but if you like techno-ish videogame soundtrack psychedelic, then Yggdrasil's your flavour of mead.]

Guillermo Maytorena IV knew there was something special in the Norse Lore when he picked up a copy of the d'Aulaires' Norse Gods and Giants at age seven. Since then he's been fascinated by the truthful potency of Norse Mythology, passionately read & studied, embraced Ásatrú, launched the Map of Midgard project, and spearheaded the neologism/brand NorsePlay. If you have employment/opportunities in investigative mythology,  field research, or product development to offer, do contact him.
