Let me tell you a little story about Odin, the Allfather, ruler of Asgard, wisdom-seeker, and part-time daredevil. One day, he decided that simply being the most powerful god in the Norse cosmos wasn’t enough—he needed more wisdom. And in true Norse fashion, he didn’t just hit the library or meditate on a mountain. No, Odin hanged himself from Yggdrasil, the World Tree. I’ll stop here because that’s a fun story later on.
