Horagalles
In Sami shamanism, Horagalles, also written Hora Galles and Thora Galles and often equated with Tiermes or ''Aijeke'' (i.e. "grandfather or great grandfather"), is the thunder god. He is depicted as a wooden figure with a nail in the head and with a hammer, or occasionally on shaman drums, two hammers. His name is derived from that of the Norse god Thor. ==Characteristics and functions== Idols of Horagalles are made of wood and have a nail or spike and a piece of flint in the head.〔Kaarle Krohn, "Lappische Beiträge zur germanischen Mythologie," ''Finnisch-Ugrische Forschungen'' 6 (1906) 155–80, (p. 164 ) 〕〔Johannes Scheffer, ''The History of Lapland: wherein are shewed the original manners, habits, marriages, conjurations, etc., of that people'', Oxford, 1674, cited in Matthias Alexander Castrén, ''Nordiska Resor och Forskningar'' volume 3, Helsinki: Finska Litteratursällskapet, 1853, (p. 206 ) 〕 He has a hammer called Wetschera, Aijeke Wetschera,〔Scheffer, cited in Castrén, (p. 50 ).〕〔Johannes Schefferus, ''Lappland'', tr.

The rainbow is his bow, "Aijeke dauge".〔〔〔''The History of Lapland'', 1674 translated ed., facsimile ed. Suecica rediviva 22, Stockholm: Rediviva, 1971, ISBN 978-91-7120-001-3, (p. 37 ).〕
