Description
The spirit of the bear in Finnish folklore. In some traditions, the bear was considered a man who left the community and transformed by the power of the forest. The bear, of course, is the most revered animal in the beliefs of many peoples. Sustevol was a sacred ritual of Palena, in which the bear's spirit in the form of his skull, which remained in a sacred clearing, people brought gifts.
