“Hugin & Munin” by Calu’s Art
“Hugin and Munin
Fly every day
Over all the world;
I worry for Hugin
That he might not return,
But I worry more for Munin.
“
- The Poetic Edda. Grímnismál, verse 20.
Hugin and Munin are semi-autonomous beings who are simultaneously projections or extensions of Odin’s own being.
their names are derived from hugr, “thought,” and munr, “memory”
