New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Today is Sami National Day, a day of celebration in Norway for the Sami people. These shamanic people are renowned for their connection to reindeer. The Sami are famous reindeer herders. Reindeer are also used to pull sleighs, and the Sami culture holds Reindeer as a spirit of great power. All parts of deceased reindeer are used for practical and sacred purposes and treated with reverence. There are many hypotheses that Santa's sleigh being depicted as driven by reindeer may have roots in Sami shamans' multifaceted relationship with reindeer.
Perhaps the spirit of Reindeer holds a message for you too. Create sacred space according to your tradition, and enter a state of altered consciousness, either through shamanic journeying or meditation. Visit the spirit of Reindeer. Ask it what wisdom it has to share with you. Journal on your experiences. |
