Gungnir, "Swaying" in Old Norse, is Odin's spear. Depictions of Odin holding Gungnir dates back to the Bronze Age and the oldest written literature is by Bragi Boddason from the early 800's where he calls Odin "Gungnis Vafadr" (Gungnir's shaker). Gungnir was crafted by black elves, Svartalfar in Old Norse, who were the sons of Ivaldi. Gungnir has a special power that nothing will stop it from hitting its target.

Hugin and Munin (pronounced "HOO-gin" and "MOO-nin"; Old Norse Huginn and Muninn, are two ravens who help the god Odin.
