Axis Mundi

Axis Mundi, meaning "world axis" in Latin, is a concept used in various cultures and religions to symbolize the connection between heaven, earth, and the underworld. It represents a central point or structure—such as a tree, mountain, or pillar—that links these realms, serving as a spiritual or cosmological bridge. Often depicted in sacred sites, temples, and mythologies, the Axis Mundi signifies the universe's unity and the pathway for divine forces to reach the human world, helping humans understand their place within the cosmos.
