Haefalaswen scribbled everything that has been said.
She thought about the question for a moment, then frowned slightly.
Slowly, she raised her hand. She remembered having read something about a Scandinavian myth and a guy named Odin... "Professor, I believe its a Scandinavian myth. Yggdrasil, the tree of life, is a sacred tree, located in the centre of the earth in a place called Midgard. Yggdrasil has three roots, which connect the three cosmic levels. The first root, source of destiny is located in the heavens where Asgard is. The second one can is located in the h*** of Niflheim. And finally the third one is the source of wisdom, and can be found all the way in Mimisbrunn, in the world of giants, Ginnungagap, where Odin will gain all the knowledge. He will have to make a sacrifice, he will have to hang himself for nine days on one of Yggdrasil's branches with his spear pierced in his flank (sp?). After he makes that sacrifice he will gain all the knowledge thus all the runes science."
She smiled slightly happy with her answer.
