Christmas Cosmology

This is a depiction of one of the cosmologies current in The World in the guise of a great Yule Tree standing in for the mighty Irminsul. The tripartite zones of Yeola, also known as Gea --- Under World, Middle Earth & Over Heaven --- are depicted centrally. The lands and seas, mountains and rivers of earth rest upon the hidden riches of Under World, where lie the Seven Gems. Upon the great Yule Tree itself are the Seven Fruits. Surrounding earth is the sphere of Over Heaven, inhabited by Sawel (the Sun), Selanna (the Greater Moon) and Wesara (the Lesser Moon) and the known planets: Rencuestero or Welkan, Tarianne or Turmo, Dirarello or Estarea, Ashayere or Ares, Ceres, Marathandare or Mardouc and then Nenurta.

Beyond the circles of earth lie the vast aethers of space beyond. There are the Seven Stars that form the Crown of Heaven as well as the myriades of brighter or dimmer stars, the Great Red Cloud (a nebula) and a couple distant galaxies.
