Icelandic Rune Mugs
Description: Draumstafir is an icelandic magical staff and simply put it is a magical symbol used to dream of unfulfilled desires. They way it is used is explained in the Huld Manuscript by Geir Vigfússon from 1860: “Scratch these symbols on silver or white leather, on St. John’s Night and they who sleep on them dream about what they want when the sun is at its lowest.”
Description: Huginn and Muninn (“Thought” and “Memory” respectively) are pet ravens of the Norse god, Odin. Odin’s ravens fly all over Midgard (Earth) collecting all of the information they can in order to report it back to Odin. In my interpretation, Huginn and Munnin are surrounding a magical stave named Ægishjálmr (Helm of Awe or Helm of Terror). It’s one of the most mysterious and powerful symbols in Norse mythology.
