In Scandinavian folklore, "the mythological jǫtnar...stand out because of their ambiguous nature and their peculiarity, and this clearly seems to parallel the strangeness ascribed to the Sámi in historical works." #FolkloreThursdaypic.twitter.com/ov38lejjgy
Consider the shape-shifting Norse god "Loki's jǫtunn background, and possible connection between the Sámi and the jǫtnar whose headquarters seem to have been placed in an area that corresponded to the Sámi territories." #FolkloreThursdaypic.twitter.com/R8RCc1vNFE
Also striking is "Loki’s potential affiliation with Sámi culture—where ideas of symbolic soul travels, cosmic oppositions & ambiguity seem to form a natural part of human existence—something most clearly reflected in the noaidi-tradition."#FolkloreThursday https://twitter.com/NoaidiX/status/1250849997957914624?s=20 …pic.twitter.com/V5FGd3tyBu
Resembling the noaidi (shaman), "a curious relic of Loki’s possible connection to the Sámi-world can perhaps be found in his everpresent duality...such as existing in both male and female form and being a father and a mother."
