An early image of a native Laplanders' ancient superstitions and religious practices. Among other roles, the Sámi shaman, or noaidi, enabled ritual communication with the supernatural through the use of tools such as drums, chants, sacred objects and fly agaric. Some practices within the Old Sámi religion included natural sacred sites such as mountains, springs, land formations, as well as man-made ones such as petroglyphs and labyrinths. A native Laplanders were the last worshippers of Thor, Viking Age god, as late as the 18th century. Thor is a hammer-wielding god associated with lightning, thunder, storms, sacred groves and trees, strength, the protection of mankind, hallowing, and fertility. Mjölnir is the hammer of the thunder god Thor in Norse mythology, used both as a devastating weapon and as a divine instrument to provide blessings. Reindeer were offered up to Thor, and every clan and family had its own hill of sacrifice. An original copper plate image from 1714 by Henri Chatelain. Lapland, Europe. A private collection.
