What are the names of Odin's two ravens?

Odin’s two ravens are Huginn and Muninn.

In Norse mythology, the ravens sit on Odin’s shoulders and fly throughout Midgard each day. They return with reports of what they have seen and heard, making Odin exceptionally well informed. Their names are often translated as “Thought” and “Memory,” although their Old Norse meanings cover wider ideas such as perception, intention, desire, and recollection.

The pair appears in the Poetic Edda poem Grímnismál, where Odin worries that the ravens may not return from their flights. They are also described in Snorri Sturluson’s Prose Edda, which explains Odin’s title Hrafnaguð, or “raven-god.”

A common mix-up is with Geri and Freki, Odin’s two wolves. Ask and Embla are the first human beings in Norse creation tradition, while Ratatoskr is the squirrel that runs along Yggdrasil. Ravens were also strongly associated with warfare, death, prophecy, and Odin in wider Germanic tradition.
