Huginn and Muninn

These are two ravens who follow me and Nook on our walk everyday, which, of course, is due to the food I bring for them. In Norse mythology Huginn (Thought) and Muninn (Memory) were Odin's ravens who flew from his throne Hlidskjalf each day to discover what was happening in Midgard, the world of men, which they reported back to him each evening. The hill that overlooks the Tees Valley, Roseberry Topping, is an anglicisation of its Old Norse name of Othenesberg (Odin's Hill), so the names seemed appropriate.
