Seidas are holy places related to Sámi culture, the rocks are the home of gods, spirits and trolls. Sámi religion is based on an animistic ideology, in which everything – inanimate nature, natural phenomena, animals and plants – has a spirit. Most seida rocks are noticeable landmarks and clearly stand out in their environment.
