Three Sielulintu Ornament

In Finnish folklore there is something known as the Sielulintu, which literally means soul-bird. The Sielulintu was believed to bring children their souls when they were born, and carry it away again when they died.
But the Sielulintu did more than deliver souls, it also protected them. It was common for Finns to put a carved wooden bird on or near their beds, or those of their children, so the Sielulintu could protect the soul of the sleeper from getting lost while walking the paths of dreams or fly off while asleep.
This ornament can be hung in your window to catch the light of sunshine and bring that extra protection while you sleep.
