It's supposed to symbolize Oden hanging from the Tree of Life in order to gain special knowledge. It very curiously parallels the Crucifixion and probably is the antecedent of hanging decorations on the Christmas tree.

Forgive my ignorance but I thought that Thor hung on the tree for 9 days.
I take NO responsibility that my Wiccan friends have no understanding of the religion they claim to base their faith on.
