Sauna Spirit
|
«Saunan Henki» is hand-crafted stone statue made of Finnish steatite by Arvid Saarinen. Place him in your sauna stove. When he gets hot and you pour «löyly» water in his mouth, he will start his stories. |

in Finnish Lapland.»
Few years ago I was on my ski vacation at Ruka in Finnish Lapland
with my youngest son Matti, his friend Petsu and our native guide Aslak.
During our 540 km (375 mi) skidoo safari we overnight outside
in a so called «sky open Iglu» as Aslak named it.
Sitting at our early
morning (1:30 Am) makkara and bear dinner table
in the light and heat of «Lapin tuikku» we were listen Aslak's
stories about miraculous native laponies people and
their love of
nature.
«You know that Santa was
born 10,000 years ago in Korvatunturi
and what is very amazing that in that same day and that same moment
his best friend Sauna Spirit appeared.
Since then those two fellows have taken care

without any boarders around the global

...purifying humans body, soul and mind
in every genuine Finnish Sauna
where ever in the world»
