Animated videos covering Finnish mythology and history. Legends, gods, and trolls. Monsters, beliefs, and magic.
Illustrated in detail by the World's sixth most feared animator Antti Palosaari.
From the bloodied ice of Köyliönjärvi to ancient Midsummer traditions and wars, this channel covers some of the most and least famous Finnish myths of the past.
Thanks, my grandparents are Norwegian Saami and it's somewhat difficult here in the USA to find much information on our ancestor's prechristian beliefs. In fact, it wasn't until just about 15 years ago that we discovered my grandma was actually indigenous Scandinavian and not simply "from an island in northern Norway".
It's a bit difficult to find GOOD info on Sami mythology here as well! Which is why I haven't made a specific video about it yet. Thank you for watching and I hope you'll enjoy the other videos too!
The Swedes are/were kinda stupid as there is no word such as "Pelliitta" in their own language so I don´t know what kind of delusional hearing they have as they got "Hakkapelliitta" from "Hakkaa päälle". Ps : They also use the same alphabet as finns.
The eagles were actually Manwë´s servants (as he is god of winds, airs and birds and king of the world) so he might have something to do with the eagles saving heroic people.
The work that has gone into this animation, and the detailed objective narrative (plus humour) deserves far far more credit than that reflected in the number of views. Thank you for your awesome video's (and animation).
🧝🏻♀️Finnish lenguaje is music for my ears”I said this everyday to every person who ask me what I think about !I was living in Finland and now I just passing by as a visitor and I’m very aware about this and as a fan of professor Tolkien this helped me to “survive”the cold winter and have massive respect for this beautiful heart people who has been well kept their folklore and sharing with the world.Suomi people I love u and admire you so much!🇫🇮🧝🏻♀️🙏🏾❤️
The cross isn't just a roman execution device bro it's a symbol of Christianity, and the sacrifice of Jesus for our sins. Finland was a very christian country, before secularism arose so prominently in the modern age. If we change our flag every time our country's attitudes to religion change we will be forever changing it. At least show some respect for Finland's christian past man, don't call it ffing stupid.
Finland is composed of people that came from now Russian uralic mountains long before russia had its current slavic population . The Finnic people used to be part of multiple iron age tribes. Thats why some of the people look kinda asian but now look like mix of nordic. They mixed with swedish ( on west ) Finlands Coast. and some on Karelia ( East ) They didnt mix alot thats why the genes show the proof. Lets not get into tribes because it gets confusing because theres multiple.
En tiedä miks jätin kesken videon pari kk. Sitten. Mutta... Juhannusyön taikoja. Kun 3‰ hiprakassa nouset veneessä järvellä/merellä seisomaan niin voit nähdä tulevan leskesi rannalla vilkuttamassa sinulle
Kuin aluksi että "Pädätystä", ja koitin miettiä että onko tuo yhdistelmä sanoista "pälätys" eli höpöttää turhia ja "Vedätys" eli huijaus. Mikä olisi toiminut myös kohtuu hyvin tuon Persus kanssa :D Poliittiset vitsit näyttää menevän ihon alle joillakin. Itse kannatan sitä että kaikelle voi nauraa, huumorin tehtävä on tuoda esille yhteiskunnan kipupisteitä, mitä voi parantaa vain keskustelemalla enemmän. Hyvin osuttu!
Kaikista kanavan vitseistä vain tämä ja jotkut kristinuskovitsit on menneet porukalla ihon alle. Tämä ei edes ollut mikään erityisen tarkkaan suunniteltu juttu. Kunhan tuli mieleen videota kirjoittaessa. Tämä on siis pätkäisty pidemmästä videosta.
As an addition; in both stories they fought battles by singing! In Kalevala the most famous one being obviously the one between Väinämöinen and Joukahainen, where Joukahainen gets sung into a swamp. In Silmarillion the counterparthner could be the one battle between Sauron and Finrod Felagund.
Martti Haavion Suomalainen Mytologia ei oikein anna vastausta Turisaan, sodanjumalan alkuperään, tai muutenkaan siihen miten kyseistä jumalaa olis palvottu, millainen jumala se oli tai muutakaan, tuntuu olevan vaan spekulaatiota nimen alkuperästä. Ikävää sinänsä että tietoa ei ole jäljellä tarpeeksi jotta olisi mahdollista uudelleenrakentaa mytologiaan perustuvaa uskontoa, ei ainakaan sodanjumalan osalta. Vai mitä tuumaat? Oma mielipide on että suomalainen sodanjumala on sama kuin skandinaaveilla Ja / tai sama kuin virolaisten Taara. Muuten, tosi hyviä videoita, olis kiva jos tekisit suomeksikin :)
Mielestäni vastasin tähän aiemmin oikein pitkällä tekstillä, mutta se näyttää kadonneen johonkin alkumerten syövereihin... Joo. Muistelisin että sodanjumala-Tursaasta on muutama muukin maininta, mutten muista ovatko vain Agricolan tekstin referaatteja... Mitä tulee jumaliin yleensä, kannatan mm. Tursiannotkon kaivauksia esittelevässä kirjassa esitettyä ajatusta, että entisaikoina jumala on saattanut mikä tahansa henki/olento/tietäjä, joka on pystynyt vaikuttamaan ns. luonnollisen maailman kulkuun. Tällöin ikiaikainen Turso sopisi hyvin kuvaukseen. Nykyaikaista, post-kristillisen sekulaariyhteiskunnan jumalkäsitystä vastaa paremmin Ukot, Tapiot ym. Kiitos! On mietinnässä ainakin yksi suomenkielinen video...
I wish we wouldn't make so much noice about the hakkapeliittas. As we were a part of Sweden, then, many people in the Central Europe think that the hakkapeliittas were Swedes. And I think it's good like that. ;-)
It's remind me of the Ainu some pet bears what part of the is their religion 2 years a sacrifice pet bear score of the bear to tell The Great Bear spirit.
Interesting that there were so many swords found as this would indicate a much more stratified society with a rich warrior aristocracy than is often associated with a "wild and free" Finland. Maybe more swords have survived in Finland than in Sweden for some environmental reason, or maybe the swords were property of the trolls :DD
Trolls have an aversion to iron as iron objects were used to keep them off property so I think it would have to be another reason! :D Of course we can't fully extrapolate the number of swords back then from what's been unearthed and documented, but their strong presence here does suggest something beyond mud-dwelling savages which I find interesting
@@jaime8318 I'm glad to have missed it then. I watched the first season out of curiosity despite not liking the first episode. That wasted time I will never get back so I'll only see trailers of upcoming seasons.
@@Anttimation the actors act as if casting people of color in a Tolkien literary work is somehow ground breaking. They speak as though Tolkien's work cannot speak to any person of color. there are MANY reaction videos to Peter Jackson's movies who are Black or other people of color. Their visceral reactions to the movies demonstrates that the Rings of Bad Fan Fiction actors are full of shyt. If they want to see Black Elves, Dwarves and Hobbits portrayed no one is complaining that they have the freedom to do so. But leave Tolkien's literary master works ALONE and unmolested by their low minded inartistic meddling.. Btw, I'm a person of color and I approve this message.
@@jaime8318 I see. I find it disturbingly narcissistic if one can't enjoy a movie without the characters being physical reflections of themselves. Thankfully I can enjoy e.g. an Indian or Japanese film without a 29-year-old Finnish animator character 🤣 While there may have been good intentions with RoP casting, it did seems odd how there was just one elf in the entire Middle Earth who'd develop a darker pigment. Not a group of elves living on a much sunnier region, just one.
Reading the Kalevala at the same time I am watching your videos ! They are really well done and help me better understand the story. Please continue making videos
