 | | Communities like villages and counties had their own local tutelaries, haltijas, who were worshipped in holy groves, holy stones and holy trees. |
 | | The maan haltija, literally "tutelary of land" (or tonttu) was the protector and caregiver of a certain house, its yard, its plantation and its domestic animals. |
 | | Haltijas could steal the wealth of another farm, or make their animals or ground infertile. |
