Mielikki goddesses

Mielikki is the Finnish goddess of forests and the hunt. In a country where the forest was central to providing food through hunting, gathering and cattle grazing, it was thought very important to stay on her good side. Mielikki is known as a skillful healer who heals the paws of animals who have escaped traps. She knows well the healing herbs and will also help humans if they know well enough to ask her for it. Her name is derived from the old Finnish word mielu which means luck.
