From old Norse mythology, we learn of the god Odin and his two ravens, Huginn and Muninn, representing thought and memory. He is afraid that one day they will fly so far away that they are unable to return, perhaps a metaphor for when he will go insane he will lose his mind and memories. It is also said in those tales from long ago that Odin searches for wisdom and is always eager to learn. He even sacrifices his eye and hangs from a tree for 9 days and 9 nights to learn of the runes. That is where my interpretation of the third raven comes from Metinn
The names for Huginn and Muninn come from Hugr and Munr with the ending -inn, which is a common thing that happens to words that are turned into names in Old Norse. The name Odinn itself has it, as his name comes from Odr with the -inn ending. The third ravens name Metinn I've derived from the word Metnaðr, which means a goal, aspiration, or dream
It is also in this piece that I've interpreted Muninn (memory) as the past, Huginn (thought) as the present, and Metinn (goals) as the future. As in my view, all of these are equally as important, and I would be very afraid if any of these ravens were to never return. We need memories to learn from and to have something to think back of. We need thoughts to react to things happening now and to be able to exist in the moment. And we need goals and dreams to aspire towards something, to always keep us moving and not sitting still. As when you just sit still is when you eventually go insane the same way if you lose your thoughts or memories

Here's a small video I made for the sweatshirt, pants, hoodies - the same applies for all the other apparel items as well
Also Heimdallr has replaced the Gjallahorn with an email service, so we'll notify you through this when Ragnarok starts
