Description Odin's Raven's are Huginn & Muninn which translates to thought and memory. They sit on his shoulders and whisper into his ears the news of the world, giving him knowledge of all things.

Ravens are relatively common in Iceland. Beautiful and big black birds who display remarkable intelligence.

Ink pens, Red Wine, Acrylic paints, Sheet of paper, & approx. 20 hours of work.

Thank you.

Red wine is commonly used as a substitute for blood in modernized pagan and heathen ritual work, so it seemed right the correct choice.

Thank you. I'm still playing with it a bit to see how it behaves, but I'm enjoying it so far (and it's symbolic use as a placeholder for blood in many more modern variations of pagan rituals make it an even more "interesting" choice for a piece like this.)
Thank you for the

Wow...very neat.

I kind of like the mythology of Odin.

Especially of the Ragnarok. Sounds so epic.

>.< Every time I see two ravens I try calling them by those names, JUST in case.

Also, I have never in my life seen any albino raven in person, however there's a film with one as a "cast" member; Gormenghast(a BBC miniseries). So, funfact, if you ever want to see video of a whie raven.

I stumbled upon it randomly a year ago, it's not very common, so I don't blame you.
And you are welcome, seems worth all of that time.
