It also asks - what is the difference between nature spirit and demon from the perspective of Swedish common people and the legal systems of the time? Based on the scholarship of Mikael Häll in The Forest Nymph, the Neck and the Devil: Erotic Nature Spirits and Demonic Sexuality in 17th and 18th Century Sweden. Nordic Animism is a multi-pronged cultural activist initiative built on the independent scholarship of Dr. Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen, exploring north European cultural heritage through the lens of current animist thinking and indigenous knowledge practices. We work to make contemporary transformation and renewal of culture, self image, spirituality, kinship, cultural exchange, and eco-activism available for euro-descendant populations through scholarship, decolonial thinking, and animist language.
