Germanic mythology: Askr (= ash) and Embla (= elm) were the first human couple created by gods from trees. Yggdrasil (means ‘I-bearer) = giant ash = the tripartite axis and pillar of the world. = power centre of the world. Yggdrasil means “bearer of Ygg” (= Odin or Wotan, father of all gods). Yggdrasil has 3 roots.

R.S.: 3 sources of the I-individuality: The “I” which had been there before but has only now risen to consciousness.

1st root: comes from Niflheim. Nidhogg (= a serpent) gnaws at the roots.

Excesses of the uncontrolled sexual instinct gnaw at this root of man.

2nd root: heart. From here comes the new life of man. In all his doing the human being is driven by the heart. He feels what makes him happy or unhappy.

He feels the present, but he also feels the element in which he grows into the future; the true destiny of man is felt in the heart. The initiating priest therefore said: at the spring from which this root grows 3 norns are sitting and spinning the threads of fate. They are Urd (mistress of the past)/Verdandi (knows about the

Present/about that which is and what is evolving)/Skuld (knows what will be in the future). The future comes about because something goes on beyond the present which has to be redeemed. (“Schuld” also = “guilt”).

3rd root: Mimir’s well: Mimir who drinks the water of wisdom. This is what comes to expression in speech. The crown of the tree grows into the spirit land and from the spiritual world come drops of the fertile nerve essence.

The initiates put it like this: In the crown of the world ash a goat is grazing and from its horns a continuous supply of mead is dropping.

Thus the below is continuously fertilized by the above. A squirrel keeps running

up and down the stem bearing spiteful words to and fro: = battle of lower against higher nature.

The ash stands at the centre of the entire germanic mythological world as an image of the threefold human being.

In this mythology the ash is the bearer or carrier resisting all powers of destruction. Like no other tree it gives strength in all kinds of catastrophes. Interestingly, its significance is not limited to Germanic mythology.

In Greek mythology the ash is also assigned important and partly similar functions: the original goddess of the ash was Adrasteia, who nurtured the infant Zeus. “Adrasteia” means “conciliating the jealousy of the Gods through humble deeds”. This corresponds to the quality of the Norn Urd described above as residing at the root of one of three sources in the Edda. In Greek mythology

Adrasteia is equivalent to Nemesis, the relentless persecutor of any kind of hubris i.e. excessive superciliousness. She makes sure that hubris is always repayed with misfortune.

In Greek mythology the ash was consecrated to Poseidon, the god of the sea. The Aeolians, to whom the Trojans belonged, were devoted to and protected by Poseidon. According to Hesiod the Aeolians descended from the third generation, the Bronze Age, of men that had been created from ash trees. Their armour and houses were of bronze, and they worked with bronze. Hesiod writes that these men worshipped only the deeds of the war god Ares and that they were the cause of tears and violence. They hearts were hard as iron and their arms were unconquerable.

Hesiod makes a connection between bronze and ash.

This “Bronze Race” or “Ash Race” perished with Atlantis.

Again, we find the power of destruction and the doom of the gods as in Germanic mythology and also in the fall of Troy. Virgil indeed compares the fall of Troy to the cutting down of an old ash in the mountains .

Another reference: the ash nymphs are said to have been created from the blood that was shed when Uranus was castrated by Cronus. The Greek word “melia” means “ash” as well as “lance”.

As in the Norse language we find again a connection between ash and spear and it does not surprise us that the spear of the centaur Chiron used by Achilles to kill Hector was also made of ash wood.

Viscum fraxini (Anobaviscum = Abnoba GmbH, Pforzheim) = Ash-grown mistletoe is particularly appropriate for sporty, slim women with a male component. Ash people” are able, like the

world ash, to carry (nearly) the entire world for a long period of time (Christophorus). They are friendly and dedicated to family and environment. Without wanting to be the centre of attention they

like to serve, they are extremely resilient and flexible in their nature and in their work. Ash patients are always prepared to make sacrifices and they make themselves available to others.

Now often women who have a job and look after their families at the same time.

Due to overload [being divided between 2 tasks: work and household duties (Ign.)], it comes to illness [female sexual organs (uterus/krebs)/muscular rheuma (tendomyopathy)/hormonal disturbances/breast cancer].

Visc-fraxini: Ash-grown mistletoe is particularly effective with cancer and pronounced lack of strength/patient struggles to accept her fate (nemesis). A mistletoe treatment best used at the beginning of after surgery/chemotherapy/other such treatments.

We regularly experience that ash-grown mistletoe gives strength very soon (patients who are EXhausted and lack energy the ash-grown mistletoe can improve and also heal the condition).

In the night before his imprisonment Christ prayed in Gethsemane (from the Hebrew „gat-schemen“ meaning “oil press”) at the Mount of Olives. In this significant place we find the olive (and

the Mount of Olives) as the warm, radiant background for this tragic scene. It is here where Christ falls into agony. “Agony” in medical terms also means prolonged throes of death. The words of Hölderlin come to mind: “Where danger threatens, salvation also grows”.

More than with any other mistletoe this degree of exhaustion, this agony is characteristic for the ash. The ash might not be equivalent to the olive tree, but it is medically just as important.

Baldur, the god of light, was killed by the mistletoe. After Ragnarok, the Germanic final battle, he is resurrected with the ash. We find him today in the ash-grown mistletoe, we find the resurrected Baldur in his lightfilled glory reconciled with his great enemy, the mistletoe!

There can be no higher form of reconciliation! As Baldur’s power the ash-grown mistletoe enables us to proudly walk on the earth as Yggdrasil or, using R.S.’s fitting translation, as I-bearers“.
