Parietaaliselle

Parietaaliselle is a Finnic word that refers to a spiritual awareness or connection with the spiritual dimension. It is a concept that is deeply rooted in the traditional spiritual practices of the indigenous Sami people of northern Europe, particularly in Scandinavia and Russia.

The idea of puriettaaliselle is based on the understanding that the natural world is imbued with spiritual energy and that this energy is closely tied to the well-being of the land and the people who inhabit it. Practitioners of this spiritual tradition believe that by connecting with the natural world and paying attention to its rhythms and cycles, they can develop a deeper awareness of the world and their place within it.

In Sami spiritual tradition, the concept of puriettaaliselle is closely tied to the idea of "noaidi", or shaman. Noaidi are spiritual leaders who possess a deep understanding of the natural world and possess the ability to communicate with spirits. They use their powers to heal, to bring balance to the natural world, and to maintain the health and well-being of their communities.

Parietaaliselle is not just a personal spiritual practice, but also a collective one. Communities come together to honor and celebrate the natural cycles and events. These events, such as the summer solstice and the tussette (the emergence of new vegetation in the spring), are an integral part of Sami spirituality and community life.
