taevavälisena

Taevalisteena is a concept in Estonian shamanic culture. It refers to a person's or an object's ability to transcend the ordinary realm of existence and tap into the spiritual realm. The term is derived from the Estonian words "taevas," meaning "in the heavens" or "in the sky," and "välisena," meaning "externally" or "outside of."

In shamanic traditions, a taevalisteena individual is believed to possess a high level of spiritual power, enabling them to communicate with spirits, ancestors, and the divine. They are said to be able to navigate the realms of the sky, earth, and water, accessing knowledge and wisdom that lies beyond the mundane world.

The concept of taevalisteena is closely tied to the idea of shamans as mediators between the physical and spiritual realms. Through their ability to transcend the ordinary, shamans can facilitate healing, guidance, and protection for their communities.

Taevalisteena is also associated with the idea of being "out of the ordinary" or "above the norm." This means that individuals or objects possessing this quality are not bound by the same rules and limitations as the rest of the world. They are seen as having a special status, where they can operate on a higher plane of existence.

In Estonian folklore and mythology, taevalisteena is often associated with supernatural beings, such as spirits, demons, and gods. These beings are believed to possess high levels of spiritual power, making them taevalisteena in their own right. The concept of taevalisteena serves as a way to understand the workings of the spiritual realm and the role of shamans in navigating this complex and mystical world.
