- COMPILATION PART 2
This is a compilation made up of videos I have made about Finland's Folklore! I have edited each segment to try ensure a seamless viewing experience. Keep in mind that some of these videos were created nearly three years ago, others are more recent, so there may be variations in audio quality between chapters.
And thank you for joining me on this exploration of Finland's history! I moved to Finland 5 years ago and made it my business to explore this part of the world's History, Mythology and Folklore and have no plans to stop now!
Your feedback is invaluable, so please don't hesitate to leave a comment, like, and subscribe for more content!

if you would like to come see me live in person and others telling some of of these stories our next storytelling event “Tales and Tarinat” will be on the 18th of April in Hemingway’s in oulu! 🇫🇮 more info here: instagram.com/p/C3kVUR3orqu/?igsh=MW44dDJxc2N5bjU2aA==
Just an amazingly beautiful story that resonates entirely with my soul ❤ Kiitos 😅
Glad you enjoyed it!
I could never live in a city where nature and forest wasn't around me and easy to travel to and enjoy. Great video as always!
I have been meaning to give a recommendation for a book, but never remember. Anyway "Kansanuskon yöpuoli - Hiidet, manalaiset ja muut demonit" is a very nice book for mythology and Finnish creatures. In general I recommend it for everyone who are interested on the topic, though the book is only in finnish if I'm right so that can be a small roadblock for many non-Finnish.
By far my favourite of your video's so far. Possibly my most enjoyable Finnish content ever watched. I had an idea to explore the Finnish lakeland area, from Helsinki as far as Koli vai Lappeenranta and Savonlinna. Maybe even see Kupio and Jyväskylä on the return. And to get in some wilderness/woodland wanders, after only seeing Helsinki, Turku and Rauma on my first trip last year. After watching this I'm inspired to put my plan into action! Just hope I don't get eaten by bears. Any bear info would be highly appreciated....
@@paulwhite2162 A great idea, having lived in Jyväskylä as an exchange student over thirty years ago. An old friend once advised: if you get a good idea, act on it. Don’t delay, for you may forget and the idea will be lost. He is now at rest, his idea I hope will inspire you.
@@ilokivi I did last year during the heatwave in May. Shorts and t-shirt at 10pm! I saw a wolverine near Koli. Next time I want to see the Area around Oulu, Kuusamo and Suomussalmi. Hopefully see Bears and Elk.
As a biracial American who is finding his roots and has Finnish ancestry through his mother your videos are helping me on my journey of self acceptance and reconnecting to those who came before me
I greatly appricate your love to the nature and the mytology of this country. 🙏 This is high quality content. Kiitos! ❤
Thank you!
Would be interesting to hear more from agricola
I'm Finnish and sometimes been shunned but Forest has always been my home. It's not suprise many Finns prefer timber homes cut from the local forest, or as local you can get.
This video is gold! I love your channel just found it yestrday
I just love your video's. Keep up the good work. It is just pure talent what you do.
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Wow Aaron! It's been a few months since I've watched one of your videos (I've been really, really busy!) and you've improved so much! Your narration and the production values of the video are superb! Tosi hieno! Kiitos!
I just found your channel. You are doing God's (or should I say Ukko's!) work. It is a shame that being "conscious" of Finnish history and culture is somewhat lost on most Finns (although it is understandable considering the past few hundred years of history and problems with Russia). Of course, you can still see the older ways manifest themselves in many traditions. It makes me especially happy to see someone "not born in Finland" immerse themselves in this. In my opinion, Finnish history is world history. I hope you continue enjoying living in Finland, discovering its history and culture, and also considering yourself both Finnish and Irish.
Jeesus Kristus on Herra
You must check out the traditional ufo sightings.. virvatuli or elovalkea
Beautiful ❤
The first literary mention of tapio is in fact in agricolas list of finnish gods from 1551
Im totally impressed listening your diggins🎉 only sad thing is that finns were passed betveen russkies and swedes back n forth so huge chunk of mystic legacy and nations knowledge was wiped clean on those years.. but we always had a dream of independence
Very interesting videos, thanka for making them! Do you have any book recommendations to get broad introduction to old Finnish stuff?
This channel has provided me much new information about Finnish folklore and religion even though i'm a Finn. Perhaps my family has been more removed from the ancient's beliefs than some others and therefore nobody could tell much. Although many aspects have been nevertheless implicitly present - observable to me - in many traditions and in the way people think.
BTW. Music in this video by Jeremy Soule, from Skyrim soundtrack.
Some believe Skyrim is based on Finland.
@@sb6370 I don't think it's based on any country really. There are heavy viking vibes but Finland didn't have vikings so I would really know what in Skyrim is based on Finland.
Can you please make a video on a few different creatures from finish folklore
Great video, thank you! There are no credits for the pictures, where did the image of the forset maiden (at approx. 37.22) come from please?
forest maiden, I mean...
I don't think you've made a video of "the finnish air force" aka mosquitoes and how it is to live with them here in Finland. :) You must have ran into large swarms of them during summer. Usually foreigners who come to Finland can be upset about how huge numbers of mosquitoes we have here and how aggressive they can be. Trying to have a walk in the forest or trying to pee in nature can become a challenge, if not an adventure.
where have you been??
th-cam.com/video/6opBEH2ckd8/w-d-xo.html back again making videos, but not frequently, 2 videos a month is what I am aiming for
Great story telling. As a Finn I really can relate most of the stuff. One point though, ending of the video. Nice story etc and then sudden stop... Just saying...
Vesihiisi sihisi hississä
The Original 000°
The marketing bullsht bout that sisu cant be translated is ludacris.. sisu=grit
Finnish special relationship with nature = pratically no real untouched forest left in the whole country.
The cups were formed by extracting coin shaped stones to cover the eyes of the dead and preserve their souls for reencarmation 😅
And tapio spirit of the forrest leads to killing the bear.. and after the skinning n cutting you shouldve dance and sing with the skull, and afterwards you bury the skeleton like a human being.. with dignity..so tapio wont get mad. In old tales bear was considered a man of forrest.. half man, half animal
These hunting parties are called peijaiset.. still happening today.. without The dance and singin..
Sisu is not that complicated. All it means is to "Never give up. Never". That's Sisu.
a lame way to put it
algoritmeille
When do we discuss the Nordic countries' capitalist greenwashing and oppression of the Sámi peoples?
Well unfortunately not here, Do not know nearly enough on that subject to even begin preparing a video, Plus I just talk about folklore and video games, Current events and news are not subjects I upload on this channel.
Cuz, it's WITCHCRAFT...Wicked WITCHCRAFT...❤❤❤❤
Just TRY and tell Äiti, you're NOT hungry.
Voi...That koira, just ain't gonna hunt.
🤍🧝🏻♂️ Loveiatar, or Illuvatar if you read the Sillmarilion is not evil nor dual natured. One is the source, if you please .. you blessed if you anger ..you have concequence a.🧝🏻♂️🤍
Oh one does not come out of the lake but down from the skies, is just that during Finnish times, 😂the gods reincarnated without going back home and for that they used the lake. It is too much of a long tale to post on TH-cam 😊😊😊
