About the Nordic Raven:
Iconic in cultures throughout the ancient Western world, the raven is prevalent in Norse mythology and art. According to the 13th century Poetic Edda, Odin-the-Allfather had an enduring kinship with two ravens, respectively called Huginn (thought) and Muninn (memory). However, ravens have been accorded a special place in Norse lore long before the Edda was composed: the fragmentary 9th-century Hrafnsmál (“Song of Ravens”) documents a conversation between a Valkyrie and a raven. The shared stewardship of fallen warriors binds Valkyries and ravens together, though ravens have yet another connection to the battlefield: for at least three centuries, the flags and standards of Vikings featured this important feathered icon, including the legendary Landøyðan (“Land Waster”), Harald Hardrada’s infamous personal banner.
