Don't disrespect the great Finnish Wizard.

>Among the Finns' western neighbours, the Norse of Scandinavia, it was a common belief that the Finns were wizards. In the Norse sagas, inclusion of a Finnish element almost always signifies a supernatural aspect to the story.

Basically true. It seems so interesting today because it was written by such a modern person. If Snorri Sturluson had been born 700 years later, Norse mythology would also be more well-written and fleshed out.

I want to make love to Finland.

The Kalevala is far from our only source of Finnish mythology though. It's just a collection of stories and poems.

>Elias Lönnrot (Finnish: [ˈɛlias ˈlœnruːt] ( listen); 9 April 1802 – 19 March 1884) was a Finnish physician, philologist and collector of traditional Finnish oral poetry. He is best known for creating the Finnish national epic, Kalevala, (1835, enlarged 1849), from short ballads and lyric poems[1] gathered from the Finnish oral tradition during several expeditions in Finland, Russian Karelia, the Kola Peninsula and Baltic countries.
