Kväner stämmer i blod

Summary The Kven people are a Balto-Finnic ethnic minority in Norway. They are descended from Finnish peasants and fishermen who emigrated from the northern parts of Finland and Sweden to Northern Norway in the 18th and 19th centuries. Among some Kven's blood taming is a technique used by older people where the idea is to stop a rapid flow of blood through ancient chants and magical gestures. Today it is often considered to belong to the witch culture, although it was originally closely related to shamanism and the vittra culture.
