This document is about the two psyches that humans are comprised of and the ancient Germanic religion on which the cult of Odin is centred and characterized.
Odin had two special ravens, Hugin and Munin, whose names mean thought and memory respectively, two distinct non material psychological components that human beings possesses and Egyptians believed that both could survived to death. Similar allegories of soul division are found in creation myths around the globe, and that I will describe in the related document.
This identification of the soul and spirit as familiar psychological components shows the salvation taught by the ancients to be a psychological achievement, just as the ancient Gnostic described it. It’s origins are prehistoric, yet it uses the same model described by modern psychologists and neurologist.
