• The Story of Hugin and Munin, Odin's Ravens Aug 14, 2025

  

  In the highest halls of Asgard, upon his throne Hlidskjalf, sat Odin, the Allfather. From this vantage point, he could see into all the nine realms. But even with his far-seeing eyes, he could not be everywhere at once. For this, he had two loyal servants, two ravens named Hugin and Munin.

  Hugin, whose name means “thought,” and Munin, whose name means “memory,” were no ordinary birds. They were extensions of Odin’s own consciousness, his eyes and ears in the world of mortals and beyond.
