Hugr-The Norse Concept of the Soul
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лип 2024
- There are many different parts to the soul/self in Norse Pagan Beliefs. The hugr/hug is perhaps the most important and most attested in later folktales. It is also similar to other tribal peoples around the world who have concept of a soul that can travel in and out of the body. This video goes over the whole background and history of the Hug.

I have had many astral experiences throughout my lifetime. Dismissed as "dreams" by my Christian family as a kid, and yet when I went to describe them, I found that it was impossible to describe places and events that I had experienced while "unconscious" that were more real than waking reality. After awhile, you give up talking to people about it, simply because it is like describing colors to people who are color blind. I explained to my kids that dreams are like the old box tvs of the 80s and 90s, really vivid dreams are like modern HDTV, and the visions I used to mistakenly lump into the dream category are like a 4D IMAX theatre ride. Thanks for adding clarity to this subject, it helps me not just understand my personal experiences, but also explains a lot of the odd behavior of my German grandma who routinely predicted events and described far away experiences she had while "dreaming".
Same!!!! Meditation could do it too. I've done it in therapy for ptsd. This is why people are cautioned to be careful of Meditation.
The frustrating part about it is the disbelief.
You can tell people about it, but you can't understand it for them.
I has a Epiphany as well as out of body experiences. No one believes me when I tell them so I finally quit talking about it.
So here I am. I've been given very important information about the destruction of this planet. One would think that people would be interested, or do some research and see for themselves, but nope! They simply reject the truth and act like your out of your mind.
If there isn't a major change in the way we think and operate, our Epatath will be, "TO STUPID TO SURVIVE! "
@@kurtbogle2973 I would say that for most people, they are not stupid for not being able to perceive what seems to be experienced by a tiny minority of others. But this is a consequence of our collective destruction of and separation from nature. I wonder just how many people have also had these experiences, but suppress, ignore, discount, or deny them due to cultural and religious biases imposed upon them by society as a whole. But yeah, I understand, most people prefer their creature comforts of fast food and entertainment over deep thought or direct spiritual experiences that should be the norm for human beings.
Best explanation I've heard so far. The nature of your thoughts are shaped by both conscious mind and unconscious mind, and are unique to you...Odin gave us the gift of breath, which gave us life. When you meditate you focus on the...breath...to control you mind. So in theory the connection of Hugr to thoughts, and to soul/life makes sense, as Odin is kind of involved...
This was beautifully explained. Our gods are so important. Odin especially. Our father. ⚔🪓
Wow this just answered a question I’ve been seeking a closure to for 15+ years. A very large one at that. Incredible.
Your ability to place several keen thoughts into verbalized idea spaces is incredible. The viewer can actually see what your saying. Thank you for the spiritual work youve done to be able to speak thru the aethers.
My grandmother “Wicker” died very young at only 62 years old and I was 22. She died January 21st. So it’s very strange I’m finding this video January 24.The moment she died, she waited until I arrived, when I walked into the room and I felt like a ton of bricks hit me in the chest and like a breeze went through my body. That night I saw her standing outside my window underneath a street light and I believe it was her soul or Hugr saying goodbye. I think I felt her life force pass through my body. There have been times when I think a little bit of her is still with me. I know it seems very strange and her and I were very close. I love her very much. It took me years to grieve her death. Thank you for this video because it makes what I experienced make so much more sense. I’m so glad I found your channel. Thank you again.
So glad you’re speaking of the ravens ❣️
And it’s just awesome how you connect
The world together thru folk beliefs, it helps us understand Norse times better!
So much to understand, thank you✌🏼
I so appreciate your work, and I learn so much. I appreciate being reconnected to my ancestral history and beliefs. Because you research things and have common sense, you are one of a very small handful of people who are working to reconstruct our lost knowledge that I trust. (Maria Kvilhaug is on that short list also and I sincerely appreciate you recommending her work in a prior video).
I hope you know of Robert Sass and that he is on your short list. Maria is wonderful as well. Her two out of print books were just reprinted this month. Not sure if you have them both, but they are on Amazon here in the USA.
Ravens are my favourite animals aswell as Wolves. I feel like they watch me wherever I go. It's a nice feeling, 😀 I love Hugin and Munin. Aswell as my thoughts and memories. ❤
I think of hugr as conscious experience. Thought is definitely a bare bones expression of what is being conveyed.
this is so important and you RARELY see people talking about this in mainstream media on norse religion its always about the gods because thats the lens thats always taken to explore religion "what gods do they believe in" but I think that really speaks more to a kind of late christian epistemology than any universal truth about the human experience of spirituality
Oooooh brill upload Thankyou! Soul is one of my favourite topics. I loved this. Hugin and Munin rock can’t wait for your upload on that! Ravens are fabulous. I know hygge is comfort but is it also more perhaps … comfort that also touches (gives satisfaction to) the soul. ✨⭐️✨⭐️✨
Hygge like the Norwegian word hyggelig ("nice") 👍
So your book, when???🤔✌
Early next year I hope :)
@@norsemagicandbeliefs8134 so do we...✌
Worldwide similarity is absolutely fascinating to me. 😀
Informative video. Thank you for sharing!
I’m compelled to say, may we meet in our hugr over a drink to celebrate the coming and going of our spirit. Cheers to you and may your days and nights be filled with knowledge.
Thank you for all that you put out into the world. It’s good to know the old gods are alive and well.
Consciousness is the soul and Consciousness is thought
The uvula is called huig in Dutch.
Probably one of my favourite videos so far in your catalogue!
damage? Scariest thing I have ever done.
By accident I found out about this. Spent miserable minuts looking at my body not being in it. Then as I wondered what to do.
I floated up in the air on my back and settled into my body. What a relief!
Haven't had that happen since.
Thank you so much for the time and effort you place in explaining the old ways, this is a real exploration of my own journey in discovering my roots and beliefs, Skal my friend.
Thoughts wandering whilst in sleep or trance sounds like dreaming. Theres something magical about dreaming. And because it's without ego i think It's a spiritual experience. Spirit/soul in this sort of context makes sense.
It reminds me alot of the germanic word for soul, which is seele, or self. "Thoughts" and the "self" or inner self are synonymous on several levels. 🍻
Perfect...thank you! Your explanations confirm or substantiate what I ahve long felt and believed.
This was such a great and informative video. Thank you for this.
Very well done, and informative. I needed that, and it answered questions I had. Thanks, M.
Interesting. Nice video!
Great video, brother! Enjoyed it! Great information!
Just got the Edda. Will keep everything in mind when reading it. Thank you for the heads up!
I enjoy your videos a lot. Especially in ones when you speak of Vestfold. My 2nd great grandfather and his ancestors are from Vestfold (mostly Larvik) so the more I can learn the better.
I could see Hug being your subconcious. I see the subconcious as being very powerful, allowing us to tap into it to do things like Spirit Walks, affect/ manipulate the energy around us and even protect us from others energies.
I really do LOVE your interpretation of Hug/ thought into the Soul. It is so revitalizing to see someone translate this material into terms for the modern human mind.
Thank you for another wonderfully educational video.
Hola Thor, here because of your episode with FB, that was a good episode, very interesting. Congrats. N Thank gods for a Norwegian who can at last speak decent American...My good Viking friend Al's accent can be a bit irritating on the ears after coupla years.. 😂😆 Subbed to your music channel to but you should begin podcasts soon..
From a Neuro Cognitive Psychology perspective, I suspect that the Hugr is connected to consciousness. When you are conscious (i.e., aware, alert, and being "yourself"), your Hugr CANNOT be present; conversely, when you are unconscious (i.e., unresponsive) or in an altered state of consciousness (e.g., sleep deprived, on medication, sick, drunk, high), your Hugr CAN be present.
Also, when you talked about Odin fearing losing Huginn and Muninn, it made me think of a man aging and feeling his mind slip away... an experience we now know as dementia. Interestingly, the risk of developing dementia is positively correlated with alcohol consumption... so, the Norse were probably at higher risk for developing dementia. Also, dementia and consciousness are linked...
Their belief in Animism probably ties in nicely with consciousness too.
As a deconverted theist on a path of spiritual understanding, coming from an atheistic mindset, the concept of the soul has been most frustrating. Thank you for this, this is opening more doors for discovery for me.
Look into the culture and religion of your ancient pre-Christian-conversion ancestors. They knew a lot more and were more connected to Nature and the Earth and Wildlife than the Christ myth conquerors led us to believe. They were called Heathen or Pagan or Barbarian or Savages. Any of these titles should be worn on the sleeve as badges of honor! Connect with them. Realize the same Earth you walk upon was the Earth they also walked upon. The same moon and sun they glared at are the same moon and sun you see every single day of your life. It's a fascinating connection. It can be DEEP if you allow it to be. It touches that soul you speak of.
Best episode yet!!! Well done my friend from a previous life. Your too much like me for us not to be related to some degree
We're all related, my friend. Just depends on how far we go back in time.
Thanks brother this explains alot for me.
Good stuff 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Great video. Informative as always. Thank you
But what always confuses me is the terms in Norwegian " kjem du i hug, hugsar du, Husker du" and in swedish "Kommer du i håg" . In english, "do you remember" For a long time it made me mix Hugin and Munin.
Haha thats nynorsk. Yea there could be some old connection there
Fjelldans is a good example of ancient pagan traditions surviving until recently. It was made illegal in Norway after someone got into a big fight over the outcome of a horse fight if I'm not misrememebring. It has been a while since I heard anything about it since I only heard of it from a Survive the Jive video.
Great video man! Would love to hear your thoughts on Vril! Recently been reading “Vril: Lifeforce of the Gods” by Robert Blumetti. Wondering if there is any truth to it and what your take might be!
The most vivid dream's I have are after a week off of smoking medical herb. So many countless times I have experienced Dejavu as well, confirming I'm in the correct place an time or something.
Good video 👍🏻
I don't know if this was a out of body experience or not.
In the 6th grade I went unconscious.
I had passed out and fell on the floor, but my
Spirit was in a lagoon ,on a bright sunny day, the water was the perfect temperature, and I had a sense of freedom and relief I have never before or since experienced.
Later on ,many years a Irish Woman explained that I had been to, Tir Na N OG
I never looked at this as a out of body experience before, but maybe it was.
Funny thing, while I was watching this two ravens landed on the tree in my yard and flew away when the video ended.
Fantastiskt bra och informativt! Väldigt få är lika välartikulerade och visa som du på UA-cam. Har du planer på att göra någon djupgående video om Samer och Finnar i framtiden?
I was a Hindu monk for 12 years and I've never heard of snapping the fingers when someone yawns. Lol! There are many various sects in Hinduism though, so not sure which ones might do this. Probably not our sampradaya who followed Lord Chaitanya and Krishna/Vishnu.
The sheet ghost and the cow image is fantastic 😂
What amazing explanation mate, I grow up as Muslim and I was always interested in what islam and quraan said about, later I got interested in anthroposophy and what Rudolf Stainer thoughts about it too.
I find myself in much of what you have said.
Are you genetically Germanic? Or Scandinavian, Gaelic or Slavic?
@@jackburmingham6716 does it make any difference to you? Well I’m genetically a Kemet.
@@jackburmingham6716 as if it would make a difference. Its all about the same thing
My youngest sister saw my maternal granny in a dream the night before she crossed over to the other side. It appears to be really common in some families of East Asian heritage too, even if some members are already Christianised by years of education in mission schools.
I really needed this video as I've been feeling a bit disconnected lately, so thank you for this it helps. Also I'm very glad to hear you talk about Huginn and Muninn and would love to watch a video about them. Ravens are amazing birds. Did you know that there is a colony of white Ravens on an island in Vancouver, BC?! You can search it on the internet. I'm not sure whether it has any spiritual significance or not, just thought you might find it interesting. As for hitting that snooze button - my Hugr must be clear across the universe, since I often times hit snooze about 10-15 times before waking completely up.😂 Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. No matter where you are or whether you celebrate it or not, I hope you have a great day. May the Gods be with you all.
I wonder if it is somewhat connected to hygge of sorts..
@@janolsen9939 That could be. It's definitely something to think about/consider.
Swedish håg, seems to embody the hole mind/internal experience. You can be happy/sad in the håg. You can try to change someone else's håg. You can lack håg. Low energy.
You can have fire håg. Be enthusiastic. And so on.
I believe that the most potent tool the Vikings had was initiation. They had no problem executing a idea. The put their thoughts to action , and had the ability to think on their feet. Flux is the word!
They learned how to take advantage of the confusion of the Flux.
So really what the success of the Vikings boiles down to is this.
THEY PAID ATTENTION AND LEARNED FROM ALL EXPERIENCES.
Odin knew magic and it's captivating. It seems many Old religions have such dieties. Its all interesting with respect to the belief systems. I always wonder about the Tuatha de danann as well. Anyhow have a great day.
I think that the reason why it is translated as thought is because thought was believed to be a tangible act of the soul. I know that in Iroquois tradition, there was never any separation of thoughts, feelings and spirit. They all were Orenda
Writes "Ic Nict Ded" on my forehead and proceeds to take a nap and posess a Grizzly
I am interested in your thoughts on how there could be an hereditary DNA element that allows an ancestral Hugr to temporarily control your body in a "berserker" state. It is more power than normal, but it is also doing combat skills that you never learned and in which we are not in control of ourselves. It comes not at our request. And it is very controlled. On a battlefield, yes, it will kill. But off the battlefield, say in a sports competition, it will win but not cause damage to the opponent. It's almost like just a quick message. Honor your ancestors. We are with you. We can be one with you.
I like what you say about honor. You are the only person I have ever heard to explain this correctly. I would love to train with you powerlifting one day in your gym.
Yes. Not only ancestors but animals and even gods that could come in and posess your Hugr. People all over the world believe this. I did some video about that but forget which one
Just a thought dude, have you done any vids on the Varangian Guard? I'm fairly new to your channel but I'm loving your content. I'm English but with Scandinavian heritage, I live right next to Repton where the Great Heathen Army camped up 💪🏼
@Blanc Neige thanks 👍🏼
Not yet. But will soon for sure
Wow- our Norwegian mom instructed US to never wake someone who is napping. (Me? I often snooze under a jacket!)
I have astral projected 3 times :) 1st time was very scary but I remember thinking yes! I'm finally doing it! Uh oh getting a little to close to the ceiling fan go back go back!
@Norse Magic and Beliefs @5:45
What is the spelling of this word the 'Riding Hugr' what is that word for 'Riding' you used?
I've been looking all over and I can't find it at all =(
nice music dude, will check out the other channel. Do you make this?
Hey man
I think you have the right of it. 😊
There’s many similarities within the wider pagan spectrum. Of course the soul as breath, as spirit, and as consciousness. Hindu cremation and burial practices have a tradition about when the mouth is to be open and close and when the spirit goes away and so forth.
Out of body experience can be very scary.
What do you do when you jump out of bed and try to turn the light on . Only to not be able to flip the switch. Then you look and see yourself lying in bed. Scary.
Informative stuff as always! Rather than Hugr being just a plain “thought”, could it be conceived as being a “divine reasoning”. Like the Greek Logos? What separates us from the animals and unites us with the universe.
But we ARE animals. So many seem to forget this, as if they are not teaching it in school. We are mammals. We are connected to the wildlife and the Earth. We are not above any of it, even if we wish to believe that we are.
@@HroduuulfSonOfHrodger on this we agree. But it is our Logos and our ability to plan for the future which separates us from the beast of the field. I still try stay true to my animalistic side.
@Blanc Neige thank you so much for your recommendation my friend. I’m stoked to check it out.
@@CollinKell33 Agreed!
Ravens have always followed me no matter where I visit.
One to three of them.
People comment on it sometimes.
Maybe someone would know what it means here on this site, if it even means anything.
You are a very good teacher btw.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
They gather when I make a bow.
At least, they have in the past. It's been a long time since I made one.
Spirit animal
Consciousness and Dreaming seem like more direct descriptions.
Yo I have a questions about dreams and if you think they represent anything!
I had surgery today and was put unconscious, as I was waking up I had a genuine real feeling of me with my ancestors preparing to sail of to sea as a Vikings (I don’t know what for), there was no visuals of this “dream” its was just a complete sense/feeling of this is who we are and this is what we are doing. And when I woke up all drugged up the nurse said the first thing I said why just “Viking” and “prepare to go”. I don’t believe in our ancestors beliefs or spirts and afterlife but I’ve alway felt a strong connection to it and this was on another level
What do you think was this me connecting to my ancestors or was it just a drugged up dream, I know your into the spiritual side so I thought I would ask. I have strong German, Scandinavian and especially strong danish viking ancestry in England so who knows
I don't know alot about dream interpretations unfortunately. But definitely sounds like some ancestral memories in there
There is a word in Sweden that is commonly used today; håglös - a person can be håglös (lös meaning loose basically). Translates to a person who has lost energy/spirit/drive. To be completely håglös, someone would be expected to basically just lay on bed all day without energy to do anything. Listless is what google translates it to.
how many of yall have actually experienced this type of stuff?
ive had a relative come to me in a dream the night he died at least once, so im just curious about other peoples experiences!
I have had several, and especially visiting long dead relatives in the more vivid experiences. It is a fascinating mystery.
@@torstenscott7571 it really is!
I've had DMT trips where I felt like my soul was leaving my body (possibly permanently), it was pretty terrifying.. any thoughts or similar experiences with DMT or other psychedelic drugs?
Never tried it, but want to. I think those definitely help alot but are not necessary all the time
DMT is not a something to be experienced before death, it's like the trip for the real you, the soul to leave your body again. But you can learn breathing techniques to excrete DMT in your body, because the lungs produce the most DMT in a human body. What I do is, I eat psilocybin mushrooms from my homeland collected in autumn (or sometimes homegrown), It helps a lot when learning these breathing techniques and these techniques intensifie the trips by thousands. it's also possible to leave the body at will and go to the astral planes, to speak with the gods, and the spirits. It has helped me in my life also, because I can use my body's capabilities almost 100%, because I move and use my body with my soul like the bodies were intended by the gods and not the other way around, like most of the material people these days do.
So I have Been wondering. What does Elptirdalr mean? I am curious if it means something.
Being a old Spirit is hard. We are at a much higher frequency than people to day. We do not fit. People shunn us without knowing why.
On top of that we were already awake in past lives, so during our lives we wake up.
It's a little bit like the red ,and the blue pill in the Matrix.
In all honesty here we are totally awake in a world of people pretending to be asleep.
Eventually we detach from Humanity,
but being very Empathetic that gives little relief.
4:40 IKR
Yes I do hit the snooze... a lot. I go very far away in sleep.
Hugr meant thinking or volitional component of the soul, or “the seat of the will.”
…American with DNA tested to 36% Irish and 25% Scandinavian that might be actually pretty rare, likely Norwegian triad possibly,, personal history of being a scrappy kid sent off to Military School which didn’t end well for anyone! Haha!! Thoughts?!
Same here
I’ve rested in the hands of giants in hyperspace they question my knowledge and claimed we did not deserve to travel these lands were are but small apes .these giants were purple with black tribal tattoos everywhere
The correct title of the book is Scandinavian Folk Belief and Legend
Nowadays this is called "Astral projection", there are many studies that have been done, and even documents of people who worked for the government that were successful at Astral projection, they worked for the Cia and it has been used to eavesdrop on enemies to find nukes, and other operations. One of the main things they said was NOT to disrupt them in the middle of this, because they could die, and the part of them that left can't get back in the body.
This is all very well documented. So it's not a myth. Our people were able to do some amazing things.
Imagine letting out the biggest fart you ever did, and worrying that you just lost your soul / hugr , great video mate, nice one.
Hehe funny enough the video im working on next has something to do with that
This is actually where the common phrase, "Bless you" comes from when you sneeze. It was believed if you sneeze your soul can leave your body so by saying "Bless You" it allows your soul to return.
I did not know that, thanks for the heads-up @@ColoradoStreaming
Setter pris på at du legger ut så mye bra på kanalen din 😁👍 ps nordmennene var de tøffeste vikingene 😉
it´s definately the head soul / the dream
soul, the soul that represents your
consciousness.. it´s the same in most
uralic traditions.. although memory
could also mean the memory of you, as in
you live as long as you are remembered.
it´s one of the main agents in shamanic
work.. i would separate it
from the breath soul (löyly in finnish,
also steam that comes from sauna) which
is connected to actual breathing..
because you don´t really die when you go
asleep or unconsciouss, but when your
breathing stops that´s when the end comes
(try holding your breath, that´s how
close we are to death).
also it´s different from the re-incarnating
soul that is more connected to bones,
skulls, nails or hair, the latter often
being added to death dolls.. there are
tales of people having actual bones or skulls
of their relatives, so the death dolls might
have replaced that tradition.. i guess it´s
just something that belonged to the person,
where their soul can rest until it is reborn
(there is no otherworld in this tradition,
the soul goes straight from the doll to the
next child of kin).
also it´s different from the heart soul
("the core") which is often considered
the same as life soul but more connected
to gut, arteries, feelings, happiness,
saddness, honesty, being sincere, things
like that (when you live against your
heart soul you become very tired).
however it is very similar to the shadow
soul (is, lotar, ort), they are most likely
the same thing.. the shadow soul can
shapeshift and do many kinds of crazy
things, which corresponds to what happens in
dreams.. though often even it is considered
two different souls, with the shadow soul
proper turning into a ghost after death
(and then into an insect) or travelling
to the moon / otherworld and the other
shadow soul (mirror image) continuing to
live with the relatives.. it is told that
the shadow soul proper gives a person their
identity, memory and consciousness (which
is different to breath soul that gives
actual life).
it´s very complicated, everything i said
there is also incorrect when reading from
another source, because different people :)
but the important thing is that all the souls
should have a function, you only need the
ones that matter to YOU (just because
some shroomhead shaman said that you
have seven souls doesn´t make it so).
come to think of it!.. "it" is probably
one of the names of the shadow soul
in ie languages.. because it´s also
that in modern finnish (it-se).. i don´t really
use It because we make our own terms
but you know.
pronoums, they´re old as fuck.
It puts me in mind of lucid Dreaming?
Hold up.....was that a wardruna techno remix?!?!
This phenomena is not historical. I suffer what are classed as migraines. In these episodes the Hugin remain with me so I can act normally in theory, but my memory, Mumin, has gone. So I know my wife but I can't remember her name, as an example, although this is a very superficial example of how this actually feels. In reality it is terrifying. Not only can I fail to remember my wife's name I cannot remember most vocabulary. This happens about 2-3 times annually so not a lot and I have just lived with it. Having seen this video, maybe I should try to enjoy it?
... my near death experience is either lack of oxygen, ... or uh, .... we've probably been leaving our bodies for quite a while. Astral traveling is described somewhat differently by many cultures it would seem.
One of my favorite modern interpretations
ua-cam.com/video/DxRk9lLb-nw/v-deo.html lol
what is it that you say at the beginning and end of all your videos
Its just welcome and see you next time in norwegian
The channel is very interesting but I have to admit I'm here to also look at how beautiful he is.
Sounds like astral projection to me! And skinwalkers seen one, don't want to see another one!
I can add a little bit -- I flatlined many years ago, due to a motorcycle accident. It was AWESOME. Like Zen - nothing, except ME, my soul - whatever that maybe called. No body, no stuff or things or people -- just me...I didn't go any further, but now I know there must be something after that. I have no fear. And btw - nobody comes along, and you can't take anything with you.
Been there several times. Because of it I don't fear death for me, I fear for those I leave behind.
@@gcanaday1 same here.
I wonder if lucid dreaming somehow represents conscious manipulation of our own soul during sleep. Everytime we go to sleep could be an unintentional astral projection.
I think so. A nd really advanced people have more control awareness of it
I'm a monotheist, in the sense of believing in Existence as the highest deity. But I take away a completely different view of the soul than traditional Judeo-Christianity. It never says an immortal essence. In fact the texts constantly remind that man is mortal, but the spirit carries on.
The creation of the nephesh describes a process of energy and hardware giving rise to software. Breath and body joined together to produce a soul, a living creature.
So with that perspective (just for my own speculation on the nature of things) I think of the idea of Hugr more as sending out the spirit, the lifewind, while maintaining a kind of tether to the body to convey thought, or patterns, words in the sense of information transmitting through 'geometrical' energy.
With this transcription I would translate Hugr to Spirit, not Soul.
Also do animals have a Hugr too?
Yes. My video on shapeahifters speaks about that
@@norsemagicandbeliefs8134 Oh I haven’t seen that yet. I’m new to your channel. I’m gonna watch it right now. I really like your videos. Greeting from Germany
What are your thoughts on Odin and the God's actually being extraterrestrials from other worlds ,the other races who may have brought us here to earth
He is not a real human vitki in the Ynglingasaga, but rather a vitki who has been transformed, has been ergrifte by Odin. He was seized by Odin and so would ,and this was not considered presumptuous at the time, a personification of Odin. Likewise, I always understood the story of the anchorite’s living in a hammock slung from a tree for days and receiving an insight leading to the runes as a godi’s being possessed by Odin, not a God, Himself, having to suspend Himself from the World Tree.
So Odin is the Trinity ?
So a Hugr is what dying people see when they are in the process of dying.
hug it sounds as the ψυχη...hm
What about sleepwalkers. We are told to never wake them up but guide them back to bed
I also thought about this
Yggdrasil is our world, we were just made to forget by the victors of wars.
