@@Thundercloud369 But there is no Hell in North myth, 'Hel' is the realm of death where all mortals have to go in order to reincarnate. Val'Halla is reserved only for worthy warriors who will fight in Ragnarok. In my opinion, the ravens are a real physical extension of Odin's 'thought' and memory' and even as they provide him immense benefits (he mainly uses they to spy on his foes) they are also a big weakness since you can cripple Odin's abilities by killing his ravens. He isnt a human in the first place, but something like a 'shapeshifter' or whatever, it made sense that he is able to 'split' parts of his 'body' and use these parts... like Hugin and Munin for example because it is maybe one of his natural abilities.
Odin is the god of Wisdom. if the crows represent thought and memory, then it wants to say is that our thought and memory roams around the world and gathers information. while at the end of the day, it is the wisdom that analyzes all that they have gathered. mythologies always explain life in symbolic way. you must break them down and understand it. almost all of them are like code language.
I like that. Wotan, being the real inspiration for Santa Claus, also lacks an eye and I feel uses his raven's to more than make up for that. Letting him see more. Ravens/crows were also used as a soothing story when Norsemen were in post-battle. To see black birds picking at corpses can be horrifying, especially if a friend, so they played it as they were sent from Odin/Wotan, carrying their souls to "the next place," whether it be Hel or Valhalla.
Odin is not the god of wisdom, he is just smarter than most. There are many dwarfs and even frost giants that are a lot smarter than Odin. But Odin has also his own abilities that make him powerful., He has his throne where he can see everything in Midgard and so on. Also, don't know how many times Loki did play 'tricks' on Odin...
@@jinpachibobochan3532 Well he is said to have tossed his eye in to the well of mimer to gain insight and wisdom of space and time aka "chaos" thus making him depicted as a deity of wisdom. in my personal theory i think that this is a reference to the third eye like "ajna" or "agna" in sanskrit or the eye of horus in egypt hower i got no prroof of this but only se it as an interesting taught and hope you will too :)
My thinking is, Odin’s ravens are extensions of himself. His fear that Huginn might not return is Odin’s fear of loosing his ability to think (which is ultimately his intelligence). He fears loosing Muninn (memory/mind) more because if he loses Muninn, what is point of having intelligence, except as a sort of torture? I don’t know much about Odin (this video is all of it ;-)), what do you think?
Ravens consistently solve the Monty Hall problem. The mathematician Paul Erdos is said to have been sceptical of the solution until it was demonstrated to him.
Oh yeah there so smart they will recognize the faces of those who wronged them and tell there buddies. So if you ever hurt a Raven and then a whole flock of them is after you don't be surprised. There also known not to corroborate with certain individuals who wronged them in some way.
Well researched....I know this has nothing to do with the video but I do appreciate how u make the time to actually go thru the comments, like and reply... I wish more TH-camrs did that
I do try my best to respond to people who ask questions but I've been getting a lot more comments as of late and it has become quite hard to get back to everyone.
Very nice video! The ravens as an extension of Odin, namely his luck, is something I've been interested in. The verse in Grimnismál, verse 20: Huginn ok Munin Huginn and Muninn fljúga hverjan dag Fly every day Jörmungrund yfir; Over the fields of Earth óumc ek of Hugin I fear for Huginn at hann aftr né comiþ, That he come not back, þó siámc meir um Munin. But more I fear for Muninn. If you look at the meaning of Huginn's and Muninn's names, thought and memory respectively, you can translate this as Odin's thoughts going out to the people of earth (that he would be thinking of us), and that he's fearful of losing his thoughts (losing his wisdom), but more-so losing his memory.
his horse is actually the son of Loki, who was actually the mother of Sleiphnir, having temporarily taken on the form of a female horse to conceive Sleiphnir, unlike the average horse, Sleiphnir has eight legs and can fly

Huginn - Hugse - Remember Muninn - Minne - Memory So,- the ability to store information AND understand it later on. We all carry information that we sometimes forget, but that comes into our mind again once we experience that which reminds us of what we knew. Huginn and Muninn is a symbol representing the ability to roam through that which is known in order to find the desired information. They're basically a visual representation of wisdom.
As a child, ravens gave me the chills, like some "thing" was watching me. I never felt that with other birds. And I have learnt that our "bridge" to the spiritual realm is more open when we are children. As a norseman, this makes a lot of sense to me. Thank you for a good video.
You give me so much information that I never knew. I should have taken a deeper interest in Norse myth a long time ago. I love Mythology and Norse is some of my favorite, but information is scarce where I live and I never think to look stuff up when I'm online. You've reignited my love of Myth and I plan on looking into it more. Keep these wonderful vid's coming though. I never know when you'll teach me something new and interesting that will spark my interest in a different direction. I'm very curious about the next vid's. Thanks for all the cool info.
Same for me. I am interested in Nors Myths. But information is hard to find and even harder is time. This channel has helped me a lot already. I knew about Hugin and Munin before. But I thought they were just a nice depiction of spy's. Thx to this video I got a much better understanding about this two birds. Learned a ton. Keep up the wonderful work!
every morning i see two ravens sitting near my window and i feed them some wallnuts. it kinda reminds me of Huginn and Muninn, i even call them like this
Alot of people seem to forget only half of the dead from combat actually go to Valhalla. The valkyrie chose half and Freyja choses the other half to go to her great hall of Fólkvangr. Its like valhalla only it's a place of rest, not a place to prepare for Ragnarok
Fascinating introduction to this important aspect of Norse mythology. The common raven is one of the world's smartest birds. The common raven's intelligence is often compared to that of dolphins and chimpanzees. In experiments, they have shown they can solve problems, remember how people treated them, and plan for future events. So, the correlation between thought and memory holds true to the observations the norse people all those centuries ago and the scientists of today.
Thanks for this explantion. I love the Norse mythology. It has such a unique style to it. Our Dutch Sinterklaas originated from Odin I found out last year. It was very interesting and opens all kind of possibilities for my own craft.

Thanks for the kind words Riel, I've been getting messages quite similar to yours from a bunch of people recently and it's a great feeling knowing that my videos are giving people a gateway into mythology.
i remember reading in a book a long time ago that odin was actually blind because he gave an eye to each of his ravens, then meaning forethought and memory, so they could look into the past and future and gave odin his source of wisdom.
I walked up to a raven once thinking it was injured, I picked it up… I held it for about 15 minutes and when I set it down to call a bird rescue it flew away just fine… it was an interesting experience
One of the modern reinterpretations that I am aware of was in a role-playing game (the pencil and paper variety), in which the ravens were Odin's actual thought and memory. While they were away, he sat without thought and without memory until they returned.

I've always wondered what those ravens names were. I always saw them with Odin in different drawings and paintings. Even in Marvel comics, whenever I saw them with Odin, I wondered and guessed. Early on in the comics, I just thought they were drawn in there by the artist just for show. But then, after seeing them more and more, I knew there just had to be more to those damn ravens. And now, I know for sure who they are, what they mean to Odin, and why they were always around him in any drawings depicting the All Father, Odin.
Odin loves animals, we must consider this, also! So when I feed stay cats and dogs I think of him. Lately I start hearing ravens and now this video pop up. It is amaizing! Thank you, Odin, the most powerful God! Guide us and inspire us! Give us power to do great and evolve!
Major parallel to ancient lore. The cherubim of the old testament sitting at the holy of holies, the winged gods surrounding the Babylonian tree of life, Anubis and Thoth at judgement.
I feel Huginn could be reinterpreted as a crow for modern stories, as a crow and raven can be thought and memory, or wisdom and intelligence. Crows have been proven to have a keen problem-solving skills down to planning ahead which is scary, ravens can recall noises better than parrots and recall very well which is also scary.
Even whole clans, both from Norway and Denmark as well as the other Viking territories were referred to as the “Raven Feeder” clan with different offshoots of names like the “Raven Feather” clan or simply the “raven” clan. Usually a war or conquering clan that went a Viking or did their best to create reputation and allies in newly discovered or conquered lands.
While subjected to the whims of the transient phenomenal world, Odin is concerned that he'll lose his thought but what is even more concerning is if he loses his mind. It's one thing to lose track and have incorrect thinking, it's easier to fix. But to lose your mind is a more grave matter.
Reread the quote at 2:16 - "I worry for Huginn, that he might not return, but I worry more for Muninn." - using their names translated: thought, and mind.
Santa is an anagram of Satan just as Saint Nick is a reference to Satanic, you don't, have,2,,take my,word,for it,but if you,would,like,to,know more. Things you,shouldnt,know. Comment YES here

"Thought and Mind fly every day, Over the mighty earth. I fear for Thought, lest he never come back, but I am still more fearful about Mind..." 1883, Gudbrand Vigfusson in Corpus Poeticum Boreale “The Sayings of the Hooded One”
Flipping awesome content. I think Odin's vigilance created the best of his luck, other than his ambitious appetite. Well thanks good luck forever Man, I love this profile!!
I believe that the poem means Odin fears his thoughts being lost but he is even more scared of losing his mind.
I agree - when I read it, I took it as Odin worrying that he will stop caring about, or even worse stop remembering the world
When I watched this. not having read the poem myself, I thought don't the crow's names reflect what odin fears losing.

Please more Norse mythology videos I love them
My favourite video so far 😊
I am big fan of vikings.
While subjected to the whims of the transient phenomenal world, Odin is concerned that he'll lose his thought but what is even more concerning is if he loses his mind.
It's one thing to lose track and have incorrect thinking, it's easier to fix. But to lose your mind is a more grave matter.
The all father was always worried about memory because memory can be lost....
Reread the quote at 2:16 -
"I worry for Huginn, that he might not return, but I worry more for Muninn." - using their names translated: thought, and mind.
Great video
It's fun seeing this concept integrated within the latest God of war game.
hi Ivar the boneless lol
I would really love to see these two birds go up for a race around the world in one day against Santa Claus' reindeers.
kirby march Barcena - Santa is actually partially based on Odin
Andrew Tallman Just the same, let those reindeers and crows do a race.
Santa is an anagram of Satan just as Saint Nick is a reference to Satanic, you don't, have,2,,take my,word,for it,but if you,would,like,to,know more. Things you,shouldnt,know. Comment YES here
@@heimdallodinson3245 Saint Nick wasn't a reference to satanic so I don't know where you got that information from
Very insightful!
This makes my Odin tattoo even more fucking cooler.
I have the ravens Hugin and Munin tattooed on my forearm
Nice
I have one on each hand
Got one on each wrist!
Awesome thank you man appreciate all you do
Could you please do videos on Freya and Frigg?
Being a pagan I have an interest in many different Gods and Goddesses. Norse God's are who I am drawn too. I have found you have some of the best information and videos. Thank you for your time and effort.
Woden Æfreleornere
Thanks for the detailed information.
I am a hunter. When they see me with my gun, the Ravens follow me.
Just adding to my already good morning
Really enjoy your videos
Excellent, thank you ⚡️
I just found your channel and I really love the myths and your voice as you do the explaining..you do a good job
I feed Crows everyday they are amazing birds and I love to watch them fly! I am new here! Great channel!
Thank you for your video - I'm going to be getting a tattoo to honor Odin with the ravens
"Thought and Mind fly every day,
Over the mighty earth.
I fear for Thought, lest he never come back,
but I am still more fearful about Mind..."
1883, Gudbrand Vigfusson
in Corpus Poeticum Boreale
“The Sayings of the Hooded One”
Another way to look at Odin’s worries about losing them is what old man isn’t concerned about losing his thoughts and memories?
Wait, so the final bosses in ac7 (adf-11 "raven" hugin and munin) are references in norse mythology. Cool never new that
Laughs in mgp
Flipping awesome content. I think Odin's vigilance created the best of his luck, other than his ambitious appetite. Well thanks good luck forever Man, I love this profile!!
love the video you should do a vid on Odin's Wolves ,
