Who are the goddesses of Finnish mythology? What are their powers and which realms do they govern? What do they look like? The first ever illustrated guide in English to the main goddesses and god-like women of magic in Finnish mythology and folklore. Finland has a vast and intricate mythology. If you are not yet familiar with this tradition, this book opens up a whole new world for you. In addition to the goddesses in the Kalevala, Finnish national epic, there are many other divinities who played a prominent part in the life of ancient Finns. They appear in thousands of age-old poems, songs and spells that were passed on as oral tradition and later written down by collectors. Who are these women and how are they described in the poems? From witch queens of the underworlds and nature goddesses of waters and forests, from goddesses of healing to goddesses of death, the female Finnish pantheon is one of a kind. *Who is the witch queen in Finnish mythology, what are her powers and how does she rule? *Who are her daughters who filled the world with magic? *Who are the deities of death and how do they rule the underworld? *Who are the goddesses of forests, lakes, mountains, bears, foxes, the Sun and the Moon? *Who is the goddess of pain? Who are the goddesses of healing, love and beauty? Tero Porthan (Illustrator)
