LOVI Ritual, is a joined music project of Mikko Heikinpoika and Vaskilintu. Lovi is a Finnish word, and in the Finno-Ugric mythology it has many meanings. A liminal, transcendental state or a place, and also believed to symbolise the vagina, as the woman’s body is the gate between dimensions, death and creation. To fall into Lovi (langeta loveen) means to take on the journey of the seer or the shaman (tietäjä/noita) into a state of trance.
