“Written tradition talks of three kinds of gazzi: One, usually a bird, accompanies the noaidi on journeys to the upper world; the second, usually a four-legged wild animal, accompanies the noaidi on journeys in this world, also called the middle world; the third, a fish, a snake, a lizard, or some other animal that can live underwater or underground, accompanies the noaidi in the lower world”
Biret Maret Kallio, “Noaidi”
everything soul threshold liminal here, a crossing here, we wending blending mending broken scars i shades kiss touch blood & sky calling burning oil into ghost-danced night
