Aijeke

Aijeke

Aijeke In Lapland mythology, a wooden god worshipped as late as the 17th century, even though the country was nominally Lutheran. John Scheffer, a professor at the University of Uppsala, in his book Lapponia, says the image of Aijeke was always made of birch wood. “Of this wood,’ he writes, “they make so many idols as they have sacrifices and, when they have done, they keep them in a cave by some hillside. The shape of them is very rude; at the top they are made to represent a man’s head.”
Aijeke’s rude shape had two spikes in its head to strike fire with. He was often identified with the Norse god Thor. Aijeke was also called Murona Jubmel (wooden god).
