CAN WE FUSION THE MODERN WESTERN SOCIETY WITH OLD SHAMANIC TEACHINGS AND MAKE THE WORLD BETTER THEN IT HAS EVER BEEN?
” Now is the most important moment in history of humankind. Because now we have to take a choice to even have a future. This time in history we have the means to destroy ourselves. But we can choose not to – and choose to live in harmony instead. ”
As you know, Jungle went the Amazon to learn shamanic teachings. A lot of the knowledge and wisdom of the sami shamanism is unfortunately lost due to the government trying to make all Samis Norwegian/Swedish/Finnish/Russian. This also includes attempts to extinguish our shamanic worldview in favor of christianity. This has been going on for hundreds of years, and is still going on today.
In the amazon on the other hand, the shamanic teachings have stayed more or less intact and some of it is even protected by the government.
But still some of us Samis have not given up, we are here now, trying to recover what was lost of the Sami culture. Shamanism is not something of the past. In the contrary, shamanism has always been something of the future. A shaman is always someone who can see longer ahead then most people. Someone who sees the big picture, and is able to aid people towards the future.
Robin Youngblood (United States) and Marieke Akgül (Netherlands) have created ShamanNation – courses and events. In their webinar series called «Shamanic teachings for today» wisdom keepers from all over the world share their knowledge.
Jungle was invited to share his knowledge on this webinar series as a representative of the north and the Sami culture. Here are a few minutes of his first webinar:

What do you guys know about the little people/nisser/underjordiske? 🙂
Hello! Thanks for commenting!
We have written about about the Saivo-world in this article: https://www.beneathnorthernlights.com/realm-saivu/, and a bit of the sami topic is here: https://www.beneathnorthernlights.com/sieidi-a-holy-rock/. Maybe you have read it.
But yes, we know alot more of it, and now that you ask, we will start working on a new post about it, as there is alot more to say.
Sami mythology is one of ours big interests, especially Elins, but the knowledge is not that easy to find. Also in this area there are many different stories and beliefs within the sami society, so its alot take into consideration. The underworld people, nisser, and little people are sometimes reffered as the same “species”, and in other occasions they are not. In Elins belief there are so many different mythological creatures, that it is hard to keep track on them, that why the creatures are sometimes are reffered to with the same name.yes, we definately should do a blogpost on this! Thank you for reading our blog.
Best regards
Elin & Jungle
