Being a considerably polysemic symbol, the serpent is found among a great variety of traditions throughout the world. The aim of the present paper is to analyse serpent symbolism in Scandinavian and Finnic traditions. Considering that these peoples held cultural contacts over many centuries, we are interested in searching for similarities and discrepancies and in investigating if at least some traits of serpent symbolism have attained wide circulation in this cultural area.
