Which is why they say you shouldn’t make large life decisions when you’re pissed off. Science has been proving more and more as of late that your memory has little basis on objective reality, but rather hinges on the emotional creative center of the brain which for all intense and purposes don’t handle quantifiable processes very effectively. It’s because your sense of smell triggers an emotion, which in turn triggers a memory. If you walk past a bakery and smell the yummy bread, there is a reason that you suddenly think of grandma’s house. Not many people know memory is stored in the midbrain, the same place where emotions are created. Memory (Munin) is an interesting brain function. Thought (Hugin) consists of logical step by step processes, making Hugin the male of the coupled pair. You need to have wisdom to understand the truth, and you must have the truth in order to possess wisdom. However though different, both require one another. This is because both are concerned with the province of understanding. Truth and wisdom are often confused with one another. Because unquantifiable knowledge is the province of the Sacred Feminine, truth, therefore, becomes feminine. As you know the Sacred Masculine (left brain) represents facts and figures, things that can be listed on a piece of paper. Why is this important? Wisdom is gendered as male because wisdom, by and large, is quantifiable. Likewise, Odhinn, priest-king, god of wisdom is married to Frigg, goddess of truth. Thoth, the Egyptian god of wisdom is married to Maat, goddess of truth. It should be noted as well that in every mythology the Wisdom God is married to the Goddess of Truth. It should be known that ravens mate for life. Like the quotation says above, “There is no learning without remembering.” Hugin means thought, and Munin means memory. What are these but the prerequisites required for wisdom and understanding? The keys that unlock the doors to the universe and the arcanum for life itself.
You have the tools to decode this if you had a mind to. Likewise, the mystery of Odhinn’s ravens if you have stuck with me thus far will be no great mystery. There really is nothing new under the son (yes I spelled it that way on purpose).
There will come a point when you all of this will click, and you can go to any school of mysteries and understand what their symbols mean. It will happen at some point that you will realize that all the symbols are always illustrating the same story. Also note that I believe that the standard word for "memory" would be "minni", at least that is the word that has survived into modern nordic languages. “There is no learning without remembering.” -Socrates This also means that since they are inflected forms, "Hugin and Munin" does not necessary exactly translate to "thought" and "memory" the listing for "huginn" marks it as an adjective.
#MUNIN AND HUGIN MEANING FREE#
There is no entry for "muninn", but I found it in a free search, so it seems that there is at least an homograph. For "huginn", there is an entry, but no translation given (but there is one for " hugi": thought, mind, (sincere) feeling". I found a dictionary from the University of Copenhagen with words found in Old norse prose. (There were also other separators between the words that could be used, but the colon is easiest to reproduce it is also used in the runic manuscript of the Scanian law).Īs for if the words would also carry a common meaning, from what I gather, they would likely. (Note that while the names in Old Norse would more properly be "Huginn" and "Muninn", consonants are not duplicated in the same word, sometimes not even across words). Here's what it would look like, using the Younger futhark: Of course you can write their names in runes runes is simply another alphabet (or rather: several alphabets).
