Myths - Notions of Sami Witchcraft

A Sami shaman

A Sami shaman playing his drum, and then in trance communicating with his attendant spirit. The missionaries burned the drums because they were looked upon as the instuments of the Devil. The shaman's guiding spirit was considered to be an evil demon.
