"As I mentioned earlier, malice is basically the powerful emotions that the soul leaves behind in the spirit. As the body decomposes and turns to dust, the spirit or soul energy returns to Mother Earth."
"Mother Earth? What do you mean?" I asked confused.
"The Norse call her Yggdrasil, while the Slavs, Finns, and Baltic religions call her "The Oak". The Germanic mythologies call it Irminsul. The Chinese call it Jianmu. While the Hindus call it Ashvatha. Even the Jewish Kaballah has a version called the Sephirot. It would take us hours to list all the names it has had over the thousands of years."
Of the names Phillip used, the one I recognized the most was Yggdrasil. It was the super big ass tree that connected the realms of the Nine Worlds in Norse mythology.
