In the evening twilight of Lapland, northern Sweden, aurora borealis and bright planets Jupiter and Venus appear over the western sky. There is a deep connection between people of the far north and these majestic lights. Sami people in Lapland traditionally believed that the northern lights were the energies of the souls of the departed. Some Eskimos described aurora as the dancing spirits. Some Indians in the North America described it as a fire in the far north, a reminder from the creator of the Earth.
