about the Viking Era
Why the Name 'Hugin and Munin'? In Old Norse religion Odin the Allfather had in his service two great ravens. These ravens' names were Hugin (Thought) and Munin (Memory). They flew around Midgard in search of news and information to return to the mighty god. At the end of their journey they would sit on his shoulders and whisper into his ears all that they had seen and heard.
It is important to be like those ravens and pass on the thoughts and memories that we have all accumulated in the many years of the Viking Age Club. To keep that spark of history alive can only help bring out the truth of the true past of our forefathers (and foremothers), and to help continue to breath life in to the fellowship and pride that those men had that created the organization we belong to. Enjoy the stories and history of a past long gone but not dead.
