To let us know when Ragnarok* was about to start. D'uh.

*When the Ice Giants come down off of Cori Celesti to get their lawnmower back.

Worship Now that's how you retell a myth!

Interestingly, Norse mythology also has a tree with life-extending apples -- and it's the Norse gods who have the tree, as They're not immortal.  Every Yule I put up a garland of little plastic apples, painted gold like the ones from Idunna's tree.
