Animals and birds are a significant feature in Celtic and Norse mythology.
The most significant ravens in Norse mythology were those owned by the Norse God, Odin. Nordic ravens played an important role in Odin’s life. According to the scriptures, the God once sacrificed an eye in exchange for wisdom, which meant he was heavily reliant on his own pet ravens to assist him in watching over the world.

Odin’s ravens were named Huginn and Muninn, translating to “thought” and “memory”. Through these creatures, Odin was said to watch over everything taking place in Miðgarð. Odin’s ravens also played a role in the journey to the afterlife. According to Viking culture, Odin was responsible for selecting half of the warriors killed in battle to join him in Valhalla.

Huginn and Muninn were said to tend to different soldiers slaughtered on the battlefield, before Odin chose them.

Even the Valkyries, said to be responsible for guiding men to the afterlife in Valhalla, are sometimes depicted as ravens or swans in epic poems.
Though ravens in Norse mythology had a deep connection with death, they weren’t necessarily seen as a bad omen. Rather, the Vikings saw these creatures as animals of prophecy, capable of seeing into the future, and understanding all things.

Indeed, a Viking may have seen a raven on the battlefield and thought it to be a sign Odin was watching over him. Even death didn’t mean the end for a Viking warrior, it was simply the beginning of a new journey, and a different kind of battle.

Ravens were often seen as symbols of this “circle of life”, and gave Vikings confidence in battle, reminding them of the glory awaiting after death.
