Von der Buchmesse im Ried hat ein schönes Buch den Weg in unser Bücherregal gefunden. #kalevala

Schön geschrieben und wunderbar illustriert.

Today is #Kalevala day.

As such, I thought it would share my Kalevala-themed #linocut prints from 2020.
There's the swan of Tuonela, who swims on the black river, which is the gateway to the world of the dead.
There's Otso, the bear king of the forest.
And there's Ikiturso, a mythological sea monster.

Vuosittainen Kalevalan lukuhetki alkakoon. Tätä menoa olen valmis jo parin vuoden päästä.

Hyvää Kalevalan ja suomalaisen kulttuurin päivää!

Happy #Kalevala Day!

Yes, the Kalevala is the #Finnish national epic. Fifty #poems of heroes, monsters and a fishbone harp. But what if it's not just that? What if it's also a sculpture or a pair of socks?

Many years ago I earned a crust teaching European cultural history, and this #filtrit video on the Kalevala as an idea or a process is one of the leftover thoughts from that time that I never really got to explore properly before - so what better time than today!

Anyway, when is it #Draumkvede Day? #Kalevala

Ilmarinen the Smith Goes Courting

Ilmarinen the Blacksmith never grew tired of hammering. One day, as he was putting some iron in the forge, a maiden came to his smithy. She stood upon the threshold and called out to the Blacksmith: “If you knew what I have to tell you, Ilmarinen the Blacksmith, you’d not put that iron in your forge.”

Read the whole #folktale, which is inspired by #Kalevala, on this #KalevalaDay.

Pidätkö kalevalasta? Oletko lukenut sen?

Kirjoitin tämän runon Kalevalan päivänä vuonna 2017.

Kalevala päivänä BBC 3 aamun ohjelmistossa mukana myös #Suomi
mukana myös Steve Rosenberg ja hieman kanteletta ?

#Kalevala Day at the dark moon
We're thinking of this painting of creatrix #Luonnatar

Canto I. – Birth of Väinämöinen

Ilmatar, the daughter of the air, descends to the sea and is fertilised; she becomes the Water-mother. She gestates for centuries to no avail and laments her lot.

Time passes, and Sotka, a goldeneye floats over the water seeking a place to rest and make her nest. It sees the knee of the Water-mother rising above the waves and, confusing it for a grassy hill, decides to make its nest there. On the third day the Water-mother feels her knee is too hot and fears it is burning. She twitches her leg and the eggs fall into the water, crashing into fragments.

The fragments of the eggs grow into the earth and heavens and sun and moon and stars and the final pieces into the clouds.
