Forwarded from Balto-Finnic Heritage ⌘
“Suns may rise and set in Suomi, Rise and set for generations, When the North will learn my teachings, Will recall my wisdom-sayings, Hungry for the true religion. Then will Suomi need my coming, Watch for me at dawn of morning, That I may bring back the Sampo, Bring anew the harp of joyance, Bring again the golden moonlight, Bring again the silver sunshine, Peace and plenty to the Northland.”
Kalevala, Rune 50

Paganism is dead.

[ Wäinölä 🇫🇮 ]
Paganism was wiped out a thousand years ago.

[ Wäinölä 🇫🇮 ]
There was a lass, an air-girl
a nice nature-daughter: she
long remained holy
for ever girlish
in the air's long yards
on its level grounds.
