Runesong is a genre of folk music, or a form of oral poetry, historically practiced among the Baltic Finnic peoples. Originating in the Finno-Ugric belt from the Urals (Russia) to Finnskogen (Parts of eastern Norway and Sweden). With the oldest songs being over 4000 years old, the runesong often has a religious content, partly incantatory, but can also have a historical summary content with myths. Some of the incantations were linked to the desire for protection and healing, i.e. the medical rune chants.
