The two well-known Edda ravens that sit on Odin's shoulders: they fly out into the world every day and return for breakfast to tell Odin the latest from around the world.
Therefore Odin is also called the "raven god" (Hrafnaguð).
Odin is also among others known as the Hrafnáss (Raven God).
Hugin and Munin are Odin's ravens.
- Hugin (Icelandic: Huginn) belongs to the old Norse verb huga and means translated: think / the thought. Hugin thinks about everything he sees and draws his conclusions from it.
- Munin (Icelandic: Muninn) belongs to the Old Norse verb muna and means translated: to remember / the memory. Munin remembers everything he saw.
Together you fly through the worlds. In the evening, they return to Odin and tell him what they saw and heard.
