The Origins of the Word "Seid"

Have you ever wondered where the word "seid" came from? Well, I'm here to shed some light on this intriguing topic. The word "seid" has its origins in the Finnish language. It refers to a type of rock pyramid that can be found in various places, including Karelia, the Kola Peninsula, Kamchatka Russia, and Scandinavia.

These structures are made of stones, which are carefully stacked on top of each other to create a visually appealing and awe-inspiring sight. In Karelia, the stacking of stones is believed to bring good luck. People believe that by arranging the stones in a certain way, they can attract positive energy and prosperity to their lives.

Now, let's talk about the purpose behind the construction of these man-made stone pyramids - the seids. These structures are usually built to fulfill a specific purpose, and that purpose is to make a wish. That's right, seids are powerful symbols that can help bring your dreams and desires to life.

To make a wish, you need to follow these steps:

1. Find a seid that resonates with you. It can be big or small, depending on your preference.

2. Silently express your wish or desire in your mind, focusing on the most intense feelings and emotions associated with that wish.

3. Walk around the seid, admiring its beauty and contemplating its significance.

4. when you are ready, make a physical gesture, such as touching or placing the stones in a particular order, to symbolize the manifestation of your wish.

Remember, the higher the seid, the stronger your wish is believed to be. So, if you have something big and ambitious in mind, consider building a tall and strong seid to symbolize your unwavering determination.

Now, for those of you who speak different languages, here's a quick translation for my family and friends:

"The word "seid" originated from the Finnish language. These rock pyramids are found in places like Karelia, the Kola Peninsula, Kamchatka Russia, and Scandinavia.
"Слово "сейд" пришло из финского языка. Скальные пирамиды Карелии, Кольского полуострова, Камчатки и Скандинавии называются сейдами. Эти сооружения сделаны из камней. В Карелии камни складывают в стопки, чтобы они приносили удачу. Рукотворные каменные пирамиды - сейды обычно строятся для того, чтобы загадывать желания - одно выше другого и сильнее, все сбудется.
