    Finnish mythology

    Ahhh, how do you know so much about so many mythologies?! Its incredible!! I also like the dragons being kept in Mt Ararat, its nice when the mythology of a place links into the nature of its place, as many do. Do you know when the Epic was written? Love does seem to play a big part in myths...

    Finnish mythology

    Wow, you'll have to let me know what they're like, im quite intrigued. I didnt know that they had national epics either. Do they have a very well established mythology over there or? I guess its good when you find out something that you had no idea about what so ever though, i imagine it'll be a...

    Finnish mythology

    Ah Ah, hopefully there will be a complete translation out there somewhere, however, it would sound beautiful in Finnish, i just wouldnt be able to understand what it meant.

    Finnish mythology

    Yeah, it has been a long time since i last came on here, thought id just see what was being posted and all. Ill have to read into it alot more into it, what i read before sounded pretty cool, but it was a brief overview, literally half a page. Do you know of any other Finnish epics/poems etc...

    What do you believe makes the world go round?

    Id say love makes the world go round, say, people who have little money in the world, sure they would want more money, but they're still alive. But maybe i just want to believe that its love =)

    Finnish mythology

    Hey Joe, Ive read a little bit about the Finnish myths, i think in the Kalevala, doesnt the main character fall in love with his sister, and then they both end up killing themselves? Its been a while so i may have just gotten all that wrong. I think the swan is a symbol of death in Finnish...

    Thor

    I wouldn't say its more Hollywood than mythology. Id say its more marvel than mythology. Its a great film, despite the fact it obviously didn't happen. When gods and goddess's are mentioned, there characters are given the same sorts of qualities. It sort of links it into the modern world, and it...

    Asatru paganism?

    Hey Joe, sorry for late reply, been a little busy these last few days. I will defiantly have to read the Poetic Edda at some point in the future, i think im finally getting some understanding of Norse Literature and its importance in the mythology ^_^ I never knew about Wagner, thats pretty...

    Asatru paganism?

    Hey Joe =) Thats a good point actually, with Abraham sacrificing his son. The bible is just as real as the stories of any mythology, so its just as valid. I have no doubt that a few modern day Christian's would try and deny this though. Id say that they has simular pagans, but they just dont...

    Asatru paganism?

    Hey Joe! ^_^ I must put that book on a growing list of booking that i should read in the near future. Uppsala's in modern day Sweden, the Finnish side, right? The blood that was used, do you know who's blood it was? Like animal or human blood? The sacrificial side of it seems a little chilling...

    Asatru paganism?

    Hello ^_^ Being interested in Norse myths and things, i was just curious, anyone know anything about how the Scandinavians did worship before the Christian conversion? I know a little bit, but i need to get the foundations of it a little more. If anyone knows anything to do with it, id be...

    History of art?

    Hey Joe! ^_^ Thank you also, the other one was getting old so i decided to change =) Whoa, thats cool! I changed to History of Art last minute, as a pose to English Literature. I'll have a little look online for some books online and things. I just wasnt there when the lecturer was telling the...

    History of art?

    Just wondering, since in about 16 days time i start college (English college, not American, unfortunately...) if any one here had studied, or knew anything of, the history of art? If so, do you have any good reads or whatever. I'm really interested in it, i just have no clue where to start with...

    Human sacrifice

    I need to read this book, once ive finished this book called 'Myths of the Pagan North.' All i know about human sacrifice in Norse mythology, is that some odinists would sacrifice themselves, like Odin himself did, and the impression i get is that when the vikings went and killed, they were...

    Any local treasure legends?

    They have quite a few over here in England, like at different places. The guy who walked with us giving all the info went to a bar afterwards and wpoke with loads of people about things, but i was like 12 years old so that wasnt an option. Id do one again for sure, i never saw anything when i...

    Any local treasure legends?

    Ah, National Treasure is like my favorite film, along side Thor. I wish stuff like this was real *sigh* But unfortunately not, there isnt much history behind my town as far as treasures are concerned. I did however once go on a ghost walk once, which was pretty cool, and gave history of murders...

    Ant killers

    I could not agree with you more. Its disgusting that people would want to harm an animal like that. I havent seen this commercial, and im glad i havent. I guess there's loads of things like this avalible at the moment, and the company saw it as an easy way to make money.
