    Summary

    Huginn and Muninn are the names of the ravens that sat on Odin's shoulders. From the Prose Edda:

    The ravens sit on his shoulders and say into his ear all the tidings which they see or hear; they are called thus: Huginn ("Thought") and Muninn ("Memory"). He sends them at day-break to fly about all the world, and they come back at undern-meal; thus he is acquainted with many tidings. Therefore men call him Raven-God, as is said:

    Huginn and Muninn hover each day
    The wide earth over;
    I fear for Huginn lest he fare not back,—
    Yet watch I more for Muninn."
