This chapter concludes the book’s comparative research by focusing on the Finnish sauna in light of its affinities with the ritualistic elements discussed in the context of the other saunas and sweat lodge practices. While the sauna culture does not appear to share all of the most archaic aspects of Indigenous North American or Galician saunas of the Castro culture, its rich lore of guardian spirits and sauna goddesses commands attention. The chapter presents the primal elements of the Finnish sauna with its past and present shamanic and animistic elements, its herbs and gifting practices and the idiosyncronies of vihtas, whisks for healing and holistic massage. The focus on saunas as sites of meditation, liminality, imitative magic and ancestor worship serve to inspire other sauna scholars to consider similar notions in other cultures. The chapter includes brief references to sauna and sweat lodge among Canadian Finns, who tend to retain more primitive features of their home country’s culture than Finns back in Finland. As sauna guardian spirits and goddesses have turned out to be important protectors of the sauna and sweat institutions, and they have previously not received attention apart from my own books, I list them here, followed by a brief description of their spheres of activity. As one example, we can reconstruct the pre-Christian role of Hongatar/Hongotar with her slightly different names through cross-cultural mythology with a focus on Bear Goddesses elsewhere. The figure also takes us far back into Greek and Roman mythology where there are similar Goddesses linked with rebirth (Artemis, the Mistress of Animals, for example). As we learn from the Greeks, the story of bear Goddesses in their dens, such as Callisto, has been compared to tale of the sun that spends the winter in the depths of the Earth only to give new life to hibernating animals.
