In Norse mythology, Huginn (‘HOO-gin’) and Muninn (‘MOO-nin’), two ravens in Norse mythology who are helping spirits to the god Odin. The birds depart every morning at dawn to fly around the Norse world, Midgard. At dinner, they return to Odin and report to him what they have seen. 

 

The ravens were seen as a part of Odin; he needed them to go out to explore the world and return to him to tell him what was going on. Odin feared that someday something might happen to the ravens and 
they would not return. Hugin and Munin were given special powers by Odin so that they could fly all over the world very quickly, and could understand and even speak people’s language. They were also very observant and would go into battle with Odin to spy on his enemies so he would know how to fight them. Ravens are seen as very intelligent and smart birds and Odin, as the main god of Viking Mythology, is also seen this way. The Vikings believed that they could also call on Hugin and Munin for guidance and power.
