The Raven's Nest

A home for exploring Norse Mythology
and Old Norse Poetry.

“Cattle die, kinsmen die, 
you must also die;
I know one thing which never dies,
The reputation of each good man.”

– Havamal  

ABOUT THE RAVEN'S NEST

The Raven’s Nest is a place to gather to discuss Wisdom Poetry, Norse Mythology, and Archetypes. David will explore Old Norse poems with other Walled Garden Contributors and members are invited to attend to discuss and explore how Wisdom and Meaning can be found through exploring mythological poetry. 

Hugin and Munin were the names of Odin’s two ravens, their names mean Thought and Memory or Soul. 

In the Raven’s Nest, we will explore the psychological significance of metaphors and archetypes found in the Old Norse myths.
