Sami shamanism
Sami shamanism is shamanism as practiced by the Sami people. Though they vary considerably from region to region within Sápmi, traditional Sámi beliefs consist of three intertwining elements: animism, shamanism and polytheism. Animism is manifested in the Sámi belief that all significant natural objects (such as animals, plants, rocks, etc.) possess a soul, and from a polytheistic perspective, traditional Sámi beliefs include a multitude of spirits. Sami religion commonly emphasizes veneration of the dead and of animal spirit such as bear worship. The study of Sámi religion is also based on archaeological remains and written sources from missionary work in northern Scandinavia from the Middle Ages to as late to the early 18th century, though some of the knowledge exists as family oral tradition.
==Animal spirits==
Aside from the Bear Cult, there are other animal spirits such as the ''Haldi'' who watched over nature. Some Sami people had a thunder god called ''Tiermes'', sometimes called ''Horagalles''. ''Radien'' or ''Vearalden'' was a sky-ruling god. The symbol of the world tree or pillar similar in Finnish mythology that reached up to the North star was marked by a ''stytto''.〔Leeming, pp. 135〕
The forest-god of the Sami, ''Laib olmai'' ruled over all forest animals, which were regarded as his herds, and luck in hunting, or the reverse, depended on his good will. His favour was so important that, according to one author, they made prayers and offerings to him every morning and evening.〔Pre- and Proto-historic Finns by Abercromby, pp. 161〕
