When the sky speaks, as it has for thousands of years, to the Sami people, it conveys a profound significance. According to indigenous Sami mythology, the Northern Lights are the manifestations of their ancestors’ spirits.

The Northern Lights are a message from these ancestors. When they appeared in the sky, children were often told to come indoors when the lights danced in the sky, highlighting their immense importance.

When one era ends, another begins. Life is a continuous series of changes, and these significant stages, known as transformative rites of passage, serve as essential markers when transitioning through critical life stages. They mark the end of childhood with puberty and the beginning of family life with marriage, each bringing profound changes to our lives.
