JABMIAKKA

Sámi Dead Goddess

Also known as Jabme-Akka, Jabmeakka, Jabmi-Akka, Yambe-Akka, Yambeakka

The old woman of the dead

She is the housekeeper for departed souls. It is essential the dead are given a very good send-off and are nicely attired for the occasion. There should be much drinking of beer.
