Eihwaz, called "Rune of the Ash Staff" by some and "Rune of the Yew Tree" by others. Either way it is a great protection rune and is associated with Yggdrassil, the great tree in which the nine worlds rotate around. At the bottom of Yggdrassil is the great Nidhogg, who gnaws at the tree's roots and devours the waste of the tree. Running up the down the tree is Ratatosk, the cosmic wight which takes the form of a squirrel.
The first world, Midgard, is commonly associated with our world (in our I mean humans) and is envisioned as a market place. From my own experience there I can say that it reminded me of a place where people in a harsh climate would live. Some warning though, not everyone is friendly here, as i had found out quickly.

The second world, Muspellheim, is called the fire world is the home to the Fire ettins. Surt and Sinmora live here, in lava rock homes. I have never been to this world personally, nor do I plan to without real reason.
The third world, Asgard is home to the Aesir, and from what I read is invitation only. If you don't have it, you don't get in. Forget about it.

The fourth world, Alfheim, is home to the Ljollsalfar (light elves) and if I am not mistaken is the home of Frey. It is a pretty world full of glamour.
The fifth world, Vanaheim, home to the Vanir is a "perfect" world full of kodak moments along the way.
The sixth world, Jotunheim, the rightly named home to the Jotun, specifically Angrboda, is said to be a lot larger in every way then us mortal people.
The seventh world, Svartalfheim, home of the Dokkalfar (dark elves), like Alfheim, is coated in glamour.
The eight world, Niflheim, the world of snow is home too the Frost thurses (ice ettins). Cold conditions here and caution is always advised when journeying.
The ninth world, Helheim, is the home to the Underworld and Hela. Travelers here have no power and a trip to Helheim can be fatal if you screw up.
The color associated with Eihwaz is black and in journeying is used as a protection rune, traced in the air. Needless to say, Eihwaz is a very powerful, and very complex rune that much respect should be given to.
To Eihwaz!
