Names & Heiti

Muninn
Muninn (Old Norse: Muninn, "memory") is the second of Odin's two ravens. While Huginn represents thought, Muninn represents memory and accumulated experience. Odin is anxious for both ravens, but Grímnismál states specifically that he fears for Muninn more — memory is more essential than thought alone. Muninn sits on Odin's left shoulder and Huginn on his right.
