SámiKeyRings

I volunteered, designed and made 95 key rings for my siida. These will be for sale at Forest Sámi Summer Event 2023 in Peltovuoma (8.-9.7.2023), Lapland, Finland. I won't -unfortunately- be there but these key rings are already on their way to the happening.

Green stands for the earth and forest (nature in generally). It has a very special meaning to us Forest Sámi people. Blue stands for the water, yellow for the sun and red for the fire. Zig zag figure stands for the fjelds and northern lights. Circle/dot/hole stands for the sun but also for a spot (key hole) where a shaman or witch can move from a place to another, also from the present to past or future. Silver or any sun catcher hides and protects you from the evil.
