  • The fetch is a human soul that may be taught to leave the body, travel, and return while the shaman is entranced, according to Nordic shamanism. 
  • The fetch appears literally, generally in the shape of a little bug or animal, such as flies, mice, butterflies, or cats, and is more than merely dream-journeying. 
  • The fetch might sometimes resemble the shaman's twin, thus the terms "double" and "shadow."
  • The fetch might represent an individual's animal soul, and the acquiring of many animal forms might constitute shamanic power exhibitions. 
  • Transformational fairy tales might be references to the fetch.
