Võtti

Võtti is a Finnish term often translated as "the touch" or "the gift." It refers to a purported paranormal ability to sense or influence things through physical contact. Individuals believed to possess võtti are sometimes called "võtti-bearers" or "touchers."

The concept of võtti is primarily found in Finnish folklore and parapsychology. It is often described as a subtle energy or force that can be felt and directed by those who have the sensitivity. This can manifest in various ways, such as an ability to diagnose illnesses, locate lost objects, or even affect the growth of plants. In some traditions, it is believed to be an innate ability, while in others, it is thought to be something that can be cultivated or developed.

While there is no scientific evidence to support the existence of võtti, it remains a part of Finnish cultural beliefs and continues to be discussed in circles interested in the paranormal and esoteric subjects. Stories and anecdotes about individuals with such abilities are passed down through generations, contributing to its mystique. The concept is sometimes compared to similar ideas of psychic touch or energy healing found in other cultures.
