Hugin & Munin the duality of the mind

On December 22nd I was reading about the Norse mythological god Odin and his pair of Ravens, Hugin and Munin.

Odin feared losing them. Here we have perhaps an insight into ancient gods--they fear things. The pair of Ravens represented the mind. Hugin thought and Munin memory. Hugin and Munin would fly off each day and gather information for Odin, fly back and whisper it into his ear allowing the god Odin to do with it as he pleased. Odin said he feared losing Munin-- (memory) the most. The internet debates his logic and reasoning on this.

Soon after reading about the Ravens I was driving and went into deep thought. The kind of thought that takes you out of your body and you go on auto-pilot. I don't know how long I was consciously gone but when I returned I wasn't aware of where I was. This was an area where I'd driven thousands of times and yet I didn't recognize the landscape. I didn't even know the name of the vehicle I was driving or what direction I was traveling in. I had Hugin but Munin hadn't returned yet. I was experiencing Odin's fear. I relaxed and waited and as Munin got closer my memory started returning. I recognized this building, freeway off to my left, and there's the hotel. The last thing to return to me was the direction of which I was traveling in. Finally as Munin landed on my shoulder he must have whispered it into my ear, "West," and it all came back to me. I knew where I was, what I was thinking about prior to leaving and what direction I was traveling.  I wondered about the pair of Ravens. Did Hugin always return before Munin? Was that why Odin feared losing Munin the most? Hugin, perhaps, had a track record of always returning first establishing a confidence in Odin, while Munin took his sweet time and always arrived after leaving Odin to wonder and fear for Munin.

Late that night my neighbors came over for a Christmas drink. They brought gifts. One neighbor gave us a pair of drinking glasses with two Crows while the other gave us a pair of plates with two Ravens on it--Hugin and Munin.

 Rolling Synchronicity again. Adding to this unusual synchronistic event is another coincidence. After writing this I went to post it on my Facebook page. Waiting for me on my page was this.



Exactly one year ago to the day I was playing with another pair of birds related to the Raven. These crows I named Zino and Cyrus. Zino is the crow following me and bonking me in the back of the head. Cyrus shown taking the peanut out of my hand.

The book I referenced above is The Viking Warrior. Shown below. The internet also spells the ravens

Huginn and Muninn. For this write up I spelled it as the author did.

Bill Brown's Saloon / Matador--Revisited

After I finished doing the first write up on Bill Brown's Saloon I contacted Matador's and sent them the link. I typically do this. Some reply, some don't. The manager at Matador's did reply and shared some of the experiences that he and the staff have had. He also encouraged me to speak with the bartender who closes at night because he too has had numerous experiences inside. They've noticed lights swaying, odd noises, electronic devices turned on, noises simulating bottles breaking, and they were given a name by a psychic who came in--Claire. Claire supposedly resides in a very strange room above the bar. A ladder leads up to the room.  My wife shot the video and focused on the room. You can see the ladder leading to it.

The name that I got was Rachel. It came through very loud, and came through on my previous visit.

I had an appointment to meet with a gentleman who is seeking person's who have had paranormal experiences for a possible film project. The selected location for our meeting was Bill Brown's Saloon / Matador's however, he had to cancel due to his work. I decided to go anyway and asked my wife if she wanted to go. She agreed. The place was packed and we were told there would be a 40 minute wait. I'm not good at waiting. My wife noticed a loan seat at the bar and like a magnet it pulled us over to it. Neither of us like to sit so it was perfect--we both just stood behind the chair. A couple off to our left slid out soon after and this freed up some space. They were quickly replaced by two women. My wife enjoying her martini struck up a conversation with the ladies. The woman next to her introduced herself as Claire. How is that for a coincidence?

Adding to this the name of Claire was mentioned.


Perhaps there is a resident spirit there named Claire.

With all of the talking inside and other various noises from a packed bar it presents a challenge capturing the spirits. But, I'm very aware that it's also a perfect place to hear them. Using the sound energy they can manipulate the sound to create words and sentences from their world into ours. It is genius. I commented to the bartender there are a lot of images inside related to death. He agreed. I did ask the manager if they've had any negative experiences. He said that they didn't other than being a little creeped out at times. That's always common in a heavily haunted location.

Upon review I hear a female speak who says, "We're with Mike."

Matador's

What makes this interesting is that this same spirit said the very same thing at Kells in Seattle. I believe this spirits name is Sabrina.

Kells


That evening we shot three video's. I took one inside, one outside and the one posted is my wife's that she took. On the one outside we hear what sounds like a horse walking on concrete. When we stop it stopped. We went to youtube and found video sounds of horses walking on concrete and it seem to match up perfectly. It's very strange. We did experience this same sound in Tombstone Arizona captured on our digital recorder. My wife's video below. Listen for her name--GAYNOR.

The next video is the two video's that I took, inside and outside. Numerous spirit voices come through. 

The Spirits of Bill Brown's Saloon

Bill Brown's saloon was built in 1913. A beautiful brick building located in the heart of Redmond Washington. A saloon occupied half of the lower building and an undertaker on the other half. The upper portion of the building was many things over the years, a dance hall, a brothel as well as a community gathering place.



Today it is a restaurant / bar called Matador's--at least the lower half is. The upper half is leased office buildings.



On 12/4/18 my wife and I met friends inside for a drink. I decided to take some video and shot 46 seconds. On the review it became clear to me there were other life forms inside with us. The first captured audio was a spirit that says,


After that a large spirit mass floats up to the ceiling of the building. It's hard to see in the picture but easy on the video. In the video you can see them drift up, down, and right to left. Immediately after that two white orbs float up off the floor towards an open fire in the center of the bar. Another spirit voice is captured.



Seconds later two orbs appear. Note they are not there in the picture above.



Advance a few frames and you can see the direction the orbs are moving in.



A name is mentioned and another orb appears at the bottom. It is moving in synch with the two above. Other white dots in the picture are not moving. A little hard to see but it'll get better.



Another name comes through, "Andreas Star." The two white orbs appear synched up again.





As the waiter passes me another orb appears on the floor and it looks to be illuminating.



The top two orbs were in front of the waiter while the bottom orb was behind him. It doesn't show in the pictures above only after he passes.

I pan across to my left and the orbs follow my motion as if to intentionally stay on the video. The other white seen in the picture are not in motion. They are not orbs. Also there were other orbs that preceded these two.



A massive spirit figure appears up near the ceiling. All of it moving in synch.



As it moves across the black metal vent makes a nice back drop for it.



In this picture the arrow is pointing to an orb. It floats behind the mans head and his hair color makes a perfect backdrop to see the orb.



And then.....



On the audio a spirit said, "You're awesome Mike," and another spirit seem to say, "He is?" Or it agreed with the spirit. I translated it as, "He is?" Quite funny. The green orb shown seems to be either synched up with the larger spirit on the ceiling or it is just one massive spirit. Best picture example shown below.



The final three pictures show an orb flying in from the right of the picture and settling in on a perfect backdrop almost as if it is saying, "Hey Mike, if you can't see this you're completely blind. We give up. See you on the other side."






I'm convinced the once Bill Brown's saloon now Matador's has other life forms inside besides living humans drinking shots of tequila. And since it was a Tuesday all shots were half off, so I enjoyed a shot of Don Julio 70th anniversary. The cost was $7.50 half off. Thanks to all of the spirit life inside that "Reacted," to me even the asshole ones. I appreciate it. It definitely enhanced my experience. The video is posted below. I don't point out the dancing orbs only the identifiable audio. There were numerous names that were captured on two different days, Rachel, Claire, Venus, along with my own name as well as my wife's.
