Folklore: Crows are often associated with memory and cleverness in folklore and myth from several continents. In Norse mythology, Odin is accompanied by two crows named Huginn and Muninn, whose names mean “Thought and
Memory.” Many Native American traditions include the Raven as a “Trickster God” who is often outsmarting
