Hugin and Munin
Huginn and Munin are a pair of ravens in Scandinavian mythology who fly around the world Midgard and inform the god Odin of what is going on. In Old Icelandic, Huginn means "thinking." In these works, Huginn and Munin are described as crows serving Odin, who land on his shoulders and provide him with information. The Circle of the Earth tells how Odin endowed the ravens with speech. The role of Hugin and Munin as messengers of the supreme ace is associated with the tradition of shamanic practices and with the common symbolism of the Germanic peoples, who depict the raven as a source of hidden knowledge.
