Hugin and Munin are a pair of ravens in Scandinavian mythology that fly around the world of Midgard and inform the god Odin about what is happening. In Old Norse, Huginn means “thinking one” and Muninn means “remembering one”
Ravens are mentioned in such literary monuments of Scandinavia of the 13th century as the Elder and Younger Edda, the Circle of the Earth, the Third grammatical treatise of Olav Thordarson, as well as in skaldic poetry.
In these writings, Hugin and Munin are described as ravens serving Odin, who perch on his shoulders and supply 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 connected with the tradition of shamanic practices and with the general symbolism of the Germanic peoples, depicting the raven as a source of hidden knowledge.
