Odins Raben und die Midgardschlange

Odin's Ravens and the Midgard Serpent

Huginn (=thought) and Munin (=memory or mind) are the two ravens that flew over the world, Midgard. They flew out over all the world every morning and returned every evening. When they returned, the ravens whispered all that they had seen and heard to Odin. The Midgard serpent encircled all the land.
