One notable example is from Norse mythology, where Yggdrasil, the World Tree, is often identified as an ash tree.

He didn't want to be discovered before he was ready. "Thorstein, I am not without wits!" Njord countered angrily. "I have not drunk any mead, nor eaten any unknown mushrooms. I know what I saw.

Lendon had guessed this result, so he didn’t get angry. “Do you know the reason?” He asked. “I think it is also related to Miss Miller.” Alexis explained patiently, “At full moon night, Miss Miller will spread a kind of special smell as well as another matter from her that could lessen the wolf poison inside your body; therefore, I conclude she can help decrease it. But on an ordinary day, her body is producing another matter that w

My mother's car hadn't even cleared the end of Main Street before I felt the whole shop exhale around me, string lights flickering back to life like the building itself had been holding its breath. A wreath on the door, half-crooked from where my mother had brushed past it on her way out, still swung faintly on its hook, and somewhere above us a paper snowflake Maya had clearly cut herself, slightly lopsided, one point longer than the rest, twisted slowly on its string.
