The Sami noaidi (shaman) beats the drum and joiks to enter a spiritual trance to visit the underworld of Saiwo and Jabma Aimo. The noaide meets the Saiwo-Olmak: (men/people of the hills). The noaidi can also speak to his spirit animals. The reindeer: saiwo-sarva. The serpent: saiwo-guolle. The bird: saiwo-lodde. Further down below is Jabma Aimo, where the noaidi can contact souls of the dead. In this sky the cross represents the greatest deity: Radien Atzhie and the Lord (post christianization). The two pillars represent Radien Kiedde and Attje. The sun represents other deity’s not listed.
