David runs events in The Walled Garden through his grove, The Ravens Nest; 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.
