Viking Raven Banner Flag – Cotton Sewn Embroidered Norse Flag Replica

Norse War Flag of Odin – Symbol of Victory and Fear in Viking Battle Culture

This authentic cotton sewn Raven Banner Flag is inspired by the feared battle standard of the Vikings, flown to invoke the power of Odin, chief god of Norse mythology. Featuring a bold raven design, this flag was more than a symbol—it was believed to possess supernatural power, signaling triumph or doom in war.

According to Norse belief, Odin’s two ravens, Huginn (thought) and Muninn (memory), flew across the world each day to gather information and return to whisper what they saw into Odin’s ears. For this, Odin earned the name Rafnagud – “Raven God.” Viking warriors revered the raven as a harbinger of war, fate, and divine power.

Historical References to Viking Raven Flag

Ragnar Lothbrok’s Sons carried a Raven Banner called Leodbroga (“Terror of the Land”) during their invasion of England in 867, flapping in the wind to signal victory.
King Canute’s Raven Banner, described in 1016 at the Battle of Assundun, was said to magically display a raven in times of war, flapping its wings if victory was near or hanging lifeless if defeat loomed.

This flag merges myth, history, and battlefield psychology, making it a striking addition for collectors and reenactors alike.
