The Ravens - Huginn and Muninn

Description

In Norse mythology, Huginn (Old Norse "thought") and Muninn (Old Norse "memory" or "mind") are a pair of ravens that fly all over the world (Midgard), bringing information to Odin.

In the poetic edda Grímnismál, the god Odin (disguised as Grímnir) speaks at one point that he worries Huginn may not come back, yet even greater is his concern for Muninn.



~ Stylised concept, featuring the two birds, an eye, and two runes - for H and M respectively


Edited to add. I have been asked on one occasion for use of this image, in a context I was happy to give permission for.
I have also seen it utilitsed by another, without my permission, edited to remove all acknowledgement of my name.
I am sad that I must post this, appreciate that some of you out there like it, but would appreciate that my copyright be respected.
Thankyou. ~ K.

Would you mind if I used this image for shirts I am making for work? Our unofficial mascot is a raven and we love this design!
