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.
