Together with the fact that there are no indications that he is planning on retiring any time soon, or even slowing down his working pace, this is cause for celebration. Ever since the founding of the Journal of Northern Studies in 2007, Håkan has been a member of our distinguished editorial board. As such, he has been an indispensable resource to us editors. His specialisation is inter- and multidisciplinary, has time-depth and covers a wide geographical area, particularly, but not exclusively, the circumpolar north. Thus, his schol- arly competence spans the vast field of northern studies and our journal. Håkan’s research is in the intersection between linguistics and the history of religions, and rests on a wide expertise in Sami languages, his- tory, culture and religion. Since the beginning of the 1980s, his publica- tions have had an immense impact on all research concerning tradition- al Sami worldview and ritual, not only within the history of religions, but also in related disciplines such as history, church history, ethnology, archaeology, culture studies and
