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) and 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 accumulated in the many years of the Viking Age Club. To keep that spark of history alive can only help bring the truth of the true past of our forefathers, and foremothers, and help breath live into the fellowship and pride that those men had that created the organization we belong to a century ago. I hope you enjoy the stories and history of a past long gone, but surely not dead.
