Historical Inspiration
Huginn and Muninn
Fly every day
Over the great earth.
I fear for Hugin
That he may not return,
Yet more am I anxious for Munin

from the Icelandic poem Gylfaginning
by Snorri Sturluson

According to Norse mythology, there are two ravens named Huginn and Muninn that sit on Odin’s shoulders. Each day at dawn he sends them out to fly over the whole world to gather information for him. At breakfast, they return and inform him of what they’ve learned. For this reason Odin is often called Rafnagud (raven-god).
