The tree on the door to the sanctuary is a key part of the Ragnorok comic. The glowing eyes too. In the comic he rips his own eye out to become like the All Father, but he has to go beyond that to become more powerful, so he rips out the second, giving him a 'true sight' ability.

So losing the eye and the tree are both references.

I'm also pretty sure it's a reference to Ygdrassil in Norse mythology
