The '''world tree''' was a symbol common to many societies. The tree specifically connecting the three regions of man, heaven, and the underworld appears in eastern mythology. Also Odin's nine night suspension in the tree's branches is similar to Finnish shamanistic practices with a nine night stay in a birch tree."

The relevance of the '''world tree''' to [[Consumerium]] should be obvious:  like the Norse version, which is surrounded by diverse creatures and spirits, Consumerium's wiki-cultivated [[gnawlij]] is also constantly tended and updated by many strange creatures, some of whom will [[bite you on the leg]].  Also like the Norse version, the associations made between companies and brands (see [[who owns what]]) and their behaviour (like oh say [[deforestation]]), form a single hierarchy of implications - a "tree" to connect any action to its future [[comprehensive outcome]].  Because there is only *one* such tree (in either case), there will eventually be *some* impact, and nothing can be ignored...

This suggests that the '''world tree''' would be a good symbol for Consumerium.
