Irminsul

Irminsul is a special thing that some people in ancient times believed in. It was a big tree or a big pole that they thought was magic and important. People would go to the tree or pole to worship and pray to their gods. They believed the tree or pole was like a big connection to the gods that they could use to talk to them. Over time, people stopped believing in Irminsul and it became a symbol of ancient times and old beliefs. Some people still think Irminsul is important and they use it to remember the past and the special beliefs of their ancestors.
