- Translated transcription: Yet other followers did the shield-maiden have on her journey over the sea: two ravens, larger and blacker, it seemed to her, than any she had ever seen.
She believes for certain that they are the ravens of Óðinn himself, the wise birds who bring news to Alfaðir of everything that happens. They dare to perch on the shoulders of the mighty one, looking out from Hliðskjálf over all land and all seas, and following with their alert black eyes humans travelling over the earth and the trolls’ secret lives in the depths of the mountains.
Yes, Óðinn’s messengers they must be, Huginn and Muninn, she is sure of it and feels secure in their company, seeing it as a sign of their lord’s awareness.
Attentively she observes their flight, as they sail forward over the waves with great, deep strokes of their wings.
