Along with the image of the World Ash tree, Yggdrasill, in Teutonic mythology, leaves are closely linked to the cycles of death and renewal. Yggdrasill is tortured by goats and deer who tear off new shoots and eat the leaves. Yet, two humans, Lif and Lifthrasir, whose names mean "life" but also may be cognates with the word "leaf", hide within Yggdrasill and survive Ragnarok to re-begin the human race in the next cycle of worlds.
