Throughout history, supernatural vaesen have lived side by side with the
people of Scandinavia. But these creatures are not perceptible to human
senses – unless they choose to be. Invisible, they have helped out on
farms, assisted in calving, made sure that stray ewes find their way
home, and kept people safe during harsh winters or wildfires, in
exchange for some of the farms’ milk and grain. Vaesen have filled the
fields with flowers, shown the way to ponds where people can see their
future reflected on the surface, and whispered dreams into the ears of
the sleeping.
