Tree of Yggdrasil Art by Seasons 

What is the Yggdrasil Tree?

The Yggdrasil symbol is a prominent element in Norse mythology, often referred to as the World Tree. It's an immense and mythical ash tree that connects the nine realms of existence in Norse cosmology. Yggdrasil is depicted as a cosmic axis or pillar that upholds the universe, with its branches reaching out over the heavens and its roots delving deep into the underworld. Because the Norse mythology of Yggdrasil is so inspiring, I’ve created custom art for each season of the Yggdrasil tree.

Spring Yggdrasil - The Tree of Life Begins

The beginning of the year is marked by the arrival of spring. Yggdrasil, the tree of life, represents stability, endurance, and the cyclical nature of life. It also serves as a channel for cosmic forces and wisdom. The start of a new year is a time for new beginnings, and this is the story of my first multi-colored and themed art design inspired by Yggdrasil. I aimed to capture the essence of each season, as they are all integral parts of life.

Summer Yggdrasil - Blooms on the Branches

During the summertime, the combination of yellow and green colors mirrors the arrival of new plants basking in the sun. The yellow hues also represent the plants that need to take a break from the heat. The blue shades, on the other hand, represent the bright and sunny skies that display the most vibrant blues we ever get to see throughout the year.

Autumn Yggdrasil - Interconnected Cosmos / Unified Realm of Existence

Autumn is such a beautiful season, and I love the way the colors of nature change during this time. Purple and yellow are definitely prominent and I think they perfectly symbolize the transition between summer and winter. It's fascinating how nature prepares for the colder months ahead, and the colors of autumn definitely reflect that sense of preparation.

Winter Yggdrasil - Tree Roots of Underworld

Finally, for the winter season, the design is dominated by cold and icy blues and whites, which exhibit the peaceful and calm nature of winter. It's a time for rest and relaxation, which makes the vibrant season of spring, with its growth and renewal, all the more possible.
