Here's the Taivaannaula video I mentioned: th-cam.com/video/V_KSwhVQDn0/w-d-xo.html Great channel and website in general for Finnish folklore and tradition! This was a lighter episode this time and relatively quickly put together. That's why the music is too loud. Well, these things happen sometimes. Happy Midsummer.
Latviasta tunnetaan keksikesän juhlintaan liittyen tapa, jonka mukaan juhannusyönä "jokainen nainen on neito" eli naimaton. Toisin sanoen jokainen nainen on vapaa avioliiton rajoitteista, ja juhannusyönä oli lupa mennä ja rakastella kenen kanssa mieli teki. Tällä on kenties haluttu turvata myös hedelmättömien aviomiesten vaimojen mahdollisuus lapsensaantiin.
Here’s a couple of midsummer traditions I used to do, when I tired to find out who my future husband is: 1. Collect 7 different flowers and place them under your pillow on midsummer eve and then you will see your future spouse in your dreams when you sleep on them. 2. Dance around a well 7 times and look at the reflection on the water and you will see your future partner. I recently found out Swedes and Danes have similar traditions, so I’m not sure where these “spells” originate from.
The first one I think is still quite common! And to the second we could add that if you see your current partner in the well, they've already drowned 🤔

@@berrymcockiner3906Just saw this comment now. But that wouldn't be so weird. The great lakes surrounds have always been full of Finnish descendants.

I don't live somewhere that you can do bonfires, although that would be fun. I have an Ukonvasara that I recently put in my car to hang in the window for Midsommar. All I can do. I think ancient Finns would have had a level of fun in their rituals despite the hard times. Just my opinion ❤
That should keep any trolls away from the car! I think so too re: ancient Finns. I could easily see how our trollish, morbid humour would have developed over centuries. Hyvää juhannusta!
Ukko won't let go of his party that easily, even if it needs to happen under someone else's name. That being said, John the Baptist might wonder why he is celebrated by drinking booze and burning bonfires.
Drinking alcohole isint a sin, drunkness is a sin. And bonfires and fire, gose far back as the old testament. if Fire was just pagan alone, the whos paganism is the true Bonfire?
@@thatwhitewolf5222 Considering bonfires, the elements seem to clash. If John the Baptist is known for the ritual of baptism, which is performed with water, then bonfires, which are all about fire, the element opposite to water, doesn't seem fitting. Juhannus has traditionally had quite a lot of drinking in excess.
Juhannus on liitettävissä voimakkaasti myös kokkoon, joka on voimakkaasti yhdistettävissä amerikkalaiseen ukkoslintuun ja kaaoskäärmettä vastustavaan alkujumalaan... itse ainakin juhlistan kokkoa aina joka juhannuksena.

Paha is an ancient proto-finnic word that exists in all Baltic Finnic languages, it means bad or evil and I doubt it was ever used to personify some entity. Some foreign sources, even english Wikipedia, list Paha as a consort of Lempo. I have no idea where this comes from. I can see there being cases of "paha" being used more or less interchangeably with Lempo, Hiisi or Piru in some variants of old poems about the birth of sickness or bloodletting, but this doesn't mean that it was an actual figure in pagan mythology.
I think its the same with anything, some thought the rituals had power and most went along mindless. In this capitalistic world every weekend has sort of become Juhannus...before the dreaded workweek. Id be interested to know were there any athiest minded "trolls" back then who thought the rituals were stupid, i am guessing a member of a town maybe had to take part in them to some extent...they were very tight communities who relied on eachother to survive. Love the videos!
Yeah I've wondered that too sometimes. Maybe with the tight-knittedness of the communities, someone doubting the beliefs or rather knowledge of the time might have also often been smart enough not to bring it up...
I love the butthurtness towards christianity in these videos 😂 as if Christianity wrecked all the fun everyone was having. I truly relish the videos though! Love them.
Thanks! It did destroy a lot of our old traditions which I would very much have liked to have survived. But the remarks are not without some degree of jest ;)
I get it, it would be super interesting! I love the stories of Finns trolling the Christian priests coming from Sweden😂. Would love to hear more of them. I noticed in Lohja last week there was a waterway called "ämmänperse" 😅...love it.
I was worshiping Satan at metal festivals but hail Ukko as well! I didn't do any spell-casting other than heavy drinking but I did see my potential partner as I went there with her!
My French hubby who's born in Berlin, LOVES Finnish accent, and also your humour! Hyvää Juhannusta/Ukonjuhlaa näin jälkikäteen! 🙂 Tai erittäin ajoissa, miten päin haluaa katsoa! 😉@@Anttimation

Mielenkiintoista! Sopii hyvin käsitykseeni suomalaisenkin juhannuksen eroottisesta luonteesta. Kiitos valistamisesta.
Mahtavia videoita, hienoo animaatiota (etenkin Suomen historia -sarjassa) ja mielettömät musiikit. Puskista tuleva kuiva huumorikin toimii. Kiitos.
Kiitos paljon!
Musiikki on Karneh-nimisen artistin biisejä. Kannattaa tutustua suoratoistosta, someista ym.!

Happy Juhannus from Upper Michigan! we have bonfires here as well as midsummer poles from the swedes.
Nice! Keep the (bonfire) flames alive!
Thnks for the video, I really enjoyed 🧙♂
Thank you. That's great to hear!

Noted... 😉
Klockrent. Kollar denna på midsommardagen. Riktigt bra. Och musiken passar som handen i handsken. Ser fram emot fler filmer! 👊🏻
Tack och glad midsommar! Hoppas att ni sakrificerar många turister i år 🎉

That's some proper magic right there! 😆
Saint Johns is celebrated in Upper Michigan
Interesting! How is it celebrated? Anything similar to Finnish/Nordic midsummer?
@@Anttimation big bonfires on the beach with food, lots of people from all over USA/Finland and Sweden come to congregate for two weeks

Glad midsommar! I wonder if you sacrificed any foreign tourists this year?
@@Anttimation Sadly no... I will have to lure a whole bussload of germans here next year to repent before our goddess of the sun!
At last! Antti reveals his true form.

Thor isn't a sky god. I've come to believe he is Hercules. The sky god was first Tyr then Odin.
Ah yeah. From what little I have read the Eddas, he did seem very focused on fighting Jörmungandr, if I remember correctly at all
Great❤
megapussi after megapussi... repesin. mut anyway! hyvää juhannusta!
Samoin.
Hyvää juhannusta megapusseilla tai ilman!
The great famine joke was hilarious 😂
Great presentation, kiitos! Do you ever look at the Bock Saga? Any opinions?
Thanks! I get asked that every now and then but I don't find it worth it other than as a peculiar work of fiction maybe
Jeeee mahtava video jälleen ja hyvää juhannusta🥳
Kiitos ja sitä samaa!
HYVÄÄ UKON JUHLA! ja kiitos antti
Kiitos samoin!
Hyvää juhannusta! Nyt kelpaisi Karhu tai mikä tahansa oikea olut.

Kiitos ja sitä samaa!
Fun fact The Finnish Air Force the last country that use the swastika.
It does raise some (understandable) confusion abroad every now and then

Sorry mate. I didn't understand the question 😅
