Fridays off | “Thought” and “Memory.”

Hugr and Munr are best known through the names of Odin's ravens "Hugn" and "Munin" or, "thought" and "memory" which is satisfactory, but still falls short. Hugr is the analytical part of the brain, the rational, reasoning, and logical form of thought. Munr is the artistic, emotional, and intuitive side of the mind, which is rooted in past experiences and connection with the Divine Will. As such, it is translated as "memory" but it is also the bridge that connects the mind and spirit by way of the óð *, thus linking past, present, and future through thoughts, memories, and actions.

*In Norse mythology, Óðr or Óð, sometimes anglicized as Odr or Od is a figure associated with the major goddess Freyja.

“He has two ravens, whom he calls Huginn and Muninn, which mean “thought” and “memory.” These birds fly back and forth across the world, seeking news and bringing Odin all the knowledge of things. They perch on his shoulders and whisper into his ears.” ~ Neil Gaiman
