The "Ravens of Odin" Wall Plaque
approx. size 20cm H x 19.5cm W x 3cm D
In Norse mythology, Hugin and Munin are two ravens that play a significant role as helping spirits of the god Odin. These loyal companions perch on Odin’s shoulders, whispering news and information into his ear. Every morning, Odin sends them out to fly around the entire world, and by breakfast, they return with fresh knowledge. These ravens symbolize wisdom, thought, and memory, making them essential figures in Norse mythology.
Who is Odin?
Odin, one of the principal gods in Norse mythology. From earliest times, Odin was a war god, and he appeared in heroic literature as the protector of heroes; fallen warriors joined him in Valhalla. He was depicted as a tall, old man, with flowing beard and only one eye (the other he gave in exchange for wisdom).
