The label of this hot drink tells a tragic story of a fine girl which was transformed into a furious deer by the ugly troll. For many hunters dreaming of expensive white skin, the meeting with this deer became fatal. And when the groom of the girl tried his luck, the deer mortally wounded him. But the blood flowing from a wound, removed the course. The deer has again turned into the beautiful girl, and the couple ran into an eternal rest.

Actually, no matter how impossible this history looks, aboriginals of Lapland assure that deer-murderers really exist. Such deer keep, as a rule, independently, and their existence is directed not by the continuation of the family, but on its destruction. The basic difference of such deers are horns. They look rather unusuall and by their form remind the sharp sabres directed forward. At a blow the opponent is deprived of any chances to survive. These strange animals differ by their improbable mind and are very careful. To catch and kill them is rather difficult. They feel danger from far off. Local residents say that deer-monsters are worse than poachers. They are real disaster. The anxiety of Lapps is quite obvious, after all reindeer breeding is their basic employment. And the quantity of deers defines the well-being of a family.

Aboriginals of the North of Finland – Samis, tamed horned handsome men since ancient times. They found how to use everything that a deer has, from horns to hoofs.  They made fur coats and laying for the sledge of deer skin. Properties of cervine wool are unique. Each hair represents a hollow tubule that allows to prolonge the heat. Short boots were made of the bottom part of cervine feet. They were called “kangs”. They didn’t get wet, were easy and convenient and warm enough. From a dressed cervine skin, strong and soft, they made bags, summer footwear and clothes. Sinews were used as a thread… As to cervine meat – up to our days it holds a superiority branch on flavoring qualities and curative properties. And, at last, horns. The spectrum of their application was rather great. Lappish shamans burned horns, believing that the specific smell is capable to drive away snakes and evil  spirits. And generally in struggle against these other forces the preference was given to the right horn. Left was used especially in medical purposes.
