The Guardians

Thought and Memory each morning fly
Over the vast earth:
Thought, I fear, may fail to return,
But I fear more for Memory.

~W. H. Auden & P. B. Taylor - The Lay of Grimnir~

"The birds that are the messengers of Odin, they keep watch over the mortal realm and report back with any news. At one point in the poem Edda, it talks of Odin fearing losing his Ravens which could refer to losing his thoughts and mind if he ever did. This is what inspired me to create the guardians."

This badge is beautiful. I've put a link below (for any fellow corvidophiles) to the artist's website :-)
