Sieidi

Local nameSeitakivi
LocationMainland Finland

Sieidis are Sami cultural items, usually a rock with unusual shape. Sieidis are found in nature in certain sacred places, for example at the sea or river beaches or on the mountain. The word sieidi has also been used for holy rocks or wooden figures that have undergone some processing. The victory was a symbol of the divine power ruling over the natural resources that humans needed for their survival. Samis sacrificed parts of their catch at sea to get a successful hunting or fishing in the future.

In southern Sami, the name varies between viero-gierkie, viero-moere, soul-gierkie and soul-nut.
