Finnish folklore is deeply tied to nature, animism, and shamanism. Before Christianity, Finns believed that every element of nature—rocks, rivers, animals, forests—held a spirit (called väki). The traditions are part of the broader Finno-Ugric cultural heritage, with connections to Sámi, Baltic, and Siberian mythologies. Finnish folklore is rooted in animism, shamanism, and oral tradition, with deep respect for nature, spirits, and mythic beings. It blends pre-Christian beliefs. In this episode, you will learn about the creation myth behind bugs and the position of bugs in the pre-Christian folklore.
