Quoting: Huginn This aspect of the connection is indicated by the names of Hugin and Munin. Hugin (Old Norse Huginn) comes from the word hugr,[9] “thought.” Munin (Old Norse Muninn) comes from the word munr,[10] which is more difficult to translate, but can encompass the concepts of “thought,” “desire,” and “emotion.” (The two ravens’ names are often translated as “Thought” and “Memory” in popular works on Norse mythology, and “Thought” is quite accurate, but “Memory” is at best imprecise and rather arbitrary.) The two names therefore can’t be neatly distinguished from one another; they overlap to the point of being virtually synonymous.[11] This reflects the fact that, in the sources, Hugin and Munin don’t have distinct personalities. They’re a duplicate form of the same underlying idea. More specifically, their names refer to their being concrete visualized forms of the “thought” of Odin. In the Norse worldview, the self is comprised of numerous different parts that are semi-autonomous and can detach from one another under certain circumstances. These detached parts are frequently imagined in an animal form that corresponds to their underlying character. In the case of Hugin and Munin, they’re Odin’s intellectual/spiritual capabilities journeying outward in the form of fittingly intelligent and curious birds that also resonate with Odin’s roles as a battle god and death god." from: [link to norse-mythology.org (secure)] I found the excerpt above to bring immediately to the mind's eye that of two circles converging, perhaps one with a complex pattern within it but a circle just the same. This is also interesting in that Odin is a one eyed God. Both names denote similar things (Huginn and Muninn). Huginn generally is taken to mean Thought, while Muninn is a more complex concept not as easily defined but could be taken to mean the subconscious. Kind of sheds new light on the OP poem, also taken from this article but known to me for some time. [link to png.icons8.com (secure)] its perfectly safe :) ^^^ WORD Bird (tweet tweet) |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 76842323 United States 09/23/2018 07:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Speaking of possessed, I bought a really old portrait dated 1820 with a man in a lovely lace shirt and black jacket. The back is written, Ludwig Caspar Weiss, etc, 'cause his name was much longer. So I went down the rabbit hole of when was Casper designed? It was in the mid 1900's by a fellow named Reit, who also drew Archie, Mad Magazine, camouflage for California so the Japanese wouldn't see it, and he basically sold the story for $200 bucks of which over half a generation later Spielberg boasted $287.9 million on a $55 million budget [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] so where is this all going? |
