World Tree

In certain Indo-European religions there was a belief in a world tree, such as Yggdrasil, in Norse mythology, and in Hinduism a banyan tree. Although the concept is absent from the Greek mythology, medieval Greek folk traditions and more recent ones, claim that the Tree that holds the Earth is shewn by goblins (Kallikantzaroi). World Tree (Wacah Chan) also appears in Maya religion as the axis of the Universe. It connects the Middleworld of man, with Xibalba (Otherworld) and the heavens (Schele & Friedle, 1990).
