Its roots reach down into the wells of wisdom, fate, and the realm of the dead. Its branches stretch up into the heavens. Odin hung himself from Yggdrasil for nine days and nine nights, sacrificing himself to himself, to gain the knowledge of the runes. Squirrels run its length carrying messages between the eagle at its crown and the serpent Niðhöggr gnawing at its roots. The tree is tended by the Norns — Urðr, Verðandi, and Skuld — who weave the fates of gods and men alike. At Ragnarök, Yggdrasil will shudder but survive, sheltering the two humans who will repopulate the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo drink from a horn carved with Yggdrasil is to drink at the axis of all things.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximately 600ml+ capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-carved Yggdrasil — World Tree design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFood safe resin lined\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only — cold drinks only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach horn varies in size, shape and colour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the UK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHorns in History\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrinking horns were used throughout Europe — by Vikings, Greeks, Romans, Germanic tribes, and Saxons — up to around the 12th century, when pottery became more widespread.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRinse with warm soapy water after each use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTowel or air dry completely before storing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply a food-grade oil such as mineral oil periodically\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf persistent odour, soak with white vinegar and water for a couple of hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not use a dishwasher or hot water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAs a natural product, each horn varies slightly in size, shape and colour.
