I’m really bad at conversations sorry if I’ve ever talked to you
people who don't deserve rights:
ihmiset jotka ohittelee bussijonoissa
genuinely sorry for the people who tried to talk to me and were disappointed by how uncool i am
Non-D&D Post
Yesterday I got to talking to a couple of friends (one from the UK, one from the US) who had a hard time understanding how Halloween is not a big deal in Finland, so let’s just go through the most important festivals in Finland in no particular order
Christmas also allow me to explain how Santa is actually from Finland
New Year
Independence Day
Socialist Walpurgisnacht
A Midsummer Night’s Dream but with more booze and fire
Disco Inferno
Whenever Finland Wins at the Hockey
After-Work
Bear Funeral
Yeah I’m going to need more information please and thank you
Okay, let me explain: Santa Claus is actually from Finland.
I feel inclined to both believe and agree with you on that one, can I please know more about bear funerals and the midsummer night’s dream rager
Wait, you don’t bury the bears you kill and throw them a huge party to drive their spirits into the afterworld so as not to anger your ancestors? What the hell kind of a backwards place are you from
Also who doesn’t do a bit of drinking and magic on Midsummer Night’s Eve while dancing around huge bonfires?
Oh shit, I forgot an important one:
Bear Wedding
You cannot just dump bear wedding on me without details
Oh the usual, strap a bear on a cross in the village square and then perform a wedding ceremony with it and the lucky bride/groom to tie it in the bonds of symbolic marriage with the community
Okay I knew the Finns were absolutely bat shit crazy but how are you all not dead yet you lovable bastards
To be honest? I’m not sure. I think it’s mostly just to spite the rest of the world.
Also urbanization has sadly had a negative impact on the sacred institution of marriage between village and bear
Is the bear dead or alive on the cross
Alive of course, you wouldn’t kill the son of a god on a cross would you?
Wait bears are jesus?
No that would be ridiculous
Jesus was a child born of a virgin who became pregnant from eating a lingonberry
What’s a lingonberry?
It’s a bitter red berry that grows in the boreal forests and Arctic tundra in the Northern Hemisphere, but is that really the part that stuck out for you?
Honestly, yeah. Having seen the rest of this post, I’m 100% willing to believe all sorts of absurdities about Finland. The real question is “why a ligonberry in particular”?
To be honest, I don’t know why they picked a lingonberry, when they could’ve picked a blueberry, raspberry, wild strawberry, or any of the bunch of berries that grow here.
But to explain: the bit I’m referring to is from the Kalevala, a compilation of Baltic-Finnic (mostly Karelian) poems which is the national epic of Finland. The last episode of Kalevala features a young lady named Marjatta (a Virgin Mary expy) eating a lingonberry and becoming pregnant, and Väinämöinen (a grand old demi-god wizard and pretty much the central character of Kalevala) is like holy shit this is bad we gotta send you away for having given birth out of wedlock, but the newborn baby is like “fuck you you old geezer” and Väinämöinen leaves in a huff. The baby is then crowned the King of Kalevala. The story is symbolic of the arrival of Christianity in Finland, but it’s more fun to read literally.
I’m not sure whether the point of view of the story is of a practicioner of the old faith (it’s possible: Väinämöinen does promise that if he’s ever needed again he’ll return) OR one that demonstrates an early syncretism between Christianity and the Baltic-Finnic folk religion. It may even have been a simple fabrication on Elias Lönnroth’s part (he was the guy who compiled the Kalevala) to give the story a proper ending.
