I believe the answer is:

yggdrasil

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'embracing grand pathway to heaven or hell?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'raunchy days with girl' is the wordplay.
'raunchy days' becomes 'ygdrasil' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'with' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'girl' becomes 'g'.
'ygdrasil' placed around 'g' is 'YGGDRASIL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yggdrasil that I've seen before include "Ash" , "tree, according to legend" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
