945-441: Is called Vanemuine . In neighbouring Scandinavia, Odin shares many attributes with Väinämöinen, such as connections to magic and poetry. The Kalevala has been translated into English and many other languages, in both verse and prose, in complete and abridged forms. For more details see list of Kalevala translations . Väinämöinen has been identified as a source for Gandalf , the wizard in J. R. R. Tolkien 's novel The Lord of

1008-562: Is famous. Unlike the dagger in Macbeth, Kullervo's sword replies, bursting into song: it affirms that if it gladly participated in his other foul deeds, it would gladly drink of his blood also. This interrogation has been duplicated in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Children of Húrin with Túrin Turambar talking to his black sword, Gurthang , before committing suicide . (Túrin also, like Kullervo, unwittingly fell in love with his own sister and

1071-488: Is raised in isolation because of his status as a slave, his fierce temper, and because people fear his growing magical skills. The only memento that the boy retains from his previous life in a loving family is an old knife that had been passed along to him as an infant.

1134-499: The Finnic languages , suggesting that proto-Finno-Ugric likewise had a sky god credited with creating the sky called * Ilma . In Proto-Finnic, the suffix - r(i) , which is used to form words for people associated with the root word, was added to * ilma to give the god-name * Ilmar(i) ('Sky-being'); rare attestations of similar forms such as Udmurt Ilmar and Sámi Ilmaris seem to be loans from Finnic. In Kalevala metre poetry,

1197-511: The Kalevala tells the story of the maiden Marjatta, who becomes pregnant after eating a berry, giving birth to a baby boy. This child is brought to Väinämöinen to examine and judge. His verdict is that such a strangely born infant needs to be put to death.

1260-564: The Kultamorsian (Golden Bride) rune have been collected. In Matti Kuusi 's opinion, the warning reproduced above is a secondary element that was probably added during the Christian period. Rather than serving as a cautionary tale, the original runes probably expressed the widespread myth of a Golden Woman found throughout Arctic Eurasia . Wainamoinen Väinämöinen ( Finnish pronunciation: [ˈʋæi̯næˌmøi̯nen] )

1323-497: The chants ." ' ) He and other writers described Väinämöinen as the god of chants, songs and poetry; in many stories Väinämöinen was the central figure at the birth of the world. The Karelian and Finnish national epic, the Kalevala , tells of his birth in the course of a creation story in its opening sections. This myth has elements of creation from chaos and from a cosmic egg , as well as of earth diver creation. At first there were only primal waters and Sky. But Sky also had

1386-419: The 'eternal bard ', who exerts order over chaos and established the land of Kaleva , and around whom revolve so many of the events in Kalevala . His search for a wife brings the land of Kaleva into, at first friendly, but later hostile contact with its dark and threatening neighbour in the north, Pohjola . This conflict culminates in the creation and theft of the Sampo , a magical artifact made by Ilmarinen ,

1449-666: The Kalevala is seppä or seppo ("smith"), which is the source of the given name Seppo . Cognates of the Finnish word ilma ('air') are attested in almost all the main Finno-Ugric languages apart from the Mari and Mordvinic languages , allowing the reconstruction of proto-Finno-Ugric * ilma meaning something like 'sky'. This noun is also attested as the name of a god in Khanty ( Num-Iləm ), Komi ( Jen ), Udmurt ( Inmar ) and

1512-576: The Kullervo cycle originally existed as an independent series of runes. In his effort to create a homogeneous narrative, Lönnrot presented Kullervo as Ilmarinen's slave in order to insert Kullervo into the Sampo cycle of runes. However, some scholars are convinced that the Golden Bride was originally an independent rune that was eventually added to the Sampo cycle. Furthermore, independent variants of

1575-489: The Maiden of Pohjola, and having seen the maiden's beauty, consents to build a Sampo. For three days, he sought a place to build a great forge. In that forge he placed metals and started working, tending the magic fire with help of the slaves of Pohjola. On the first day, Ilmarinen looked down into the flames and saw that the metal had taken the form of a crossbow with a golden arch, a copper shaft and quarrel-tips of silver. But

1638-496: The Maiden of the North. Ilmarinen's portrayal as "unlucky in love" in the Kalevala is primarily due to Lönnrot's own choices while revising and compiling the original runes to form a cohesive narrative. In another example from an original rune entitled Kosinta (The Courtship), ( Kuusi, Bosley & Branch 1977 , rune 17) Ilmarinen takes a journey to compete for Hiisi's daughter. He again succeeds in obtaining his wife after completing

1701-507: The North. In return for giving him safe passage from the land of Pohjola back to his native country, the enchantress Louhi of Pohjola wanted to have made the Sampo , a magic artifact. Väinämöinen replied that he could not make her one, but that Ilmarinen could, and promised to send the great smith to Pohjola to do just that. In return for this wondrous device, Louhi would also give Ilmarinen her daughter's hand in marriage. On having returned home, Väinämöinen tries to awe Ilmarinen with tales of

1764-502: The Rings . Another Tolkienian character with great similarities to Väinämöinen is Tom Bombadil . Like Väinämöinen, he is one of the most powerful beings in his world, and both are ancient and natural beings in their setting. Both Tom Bombadil and Väinämöinen rely on the power of song and lore. Likewise, Treebeard and the Ents in general have been compared to Väinämöinen. In art (such as

1827-470: The Slavic thunder god Perun , O'Sullivan, a werewolf , a vampire , Finnish folk legend Väinämöinen, and Taoist fangshi Zhang Guolao - into Asgard to kill Norse thunder god Thor , all for their own varied reasons.

1890-460: The accompanying picture by Akseli Gallen-Kallela ), Väinämöinen is described as an old man with a long white beard, which is also a popular appearance for wizards in fantasy literature . In music, Finnish folk metal band Ensiferum wrote three songs based on/about Väinämöinen, called "Old Man", "Little Dreamer" and "Cold Northland". There is also a direct reference to him in their song "One More Magic Potion", where they have written "Who can shape

1953-419: The baby is baptized and named king of Kalevala . Defeated, Väinämöinen goes to the shores of the sea, where he sings for himself a boat of copper, with which he sails away from the mortal realms. In his final words, he promises that there shall be a time when he shall return, when his crafts and might shall once again be needed. Thematically, the 50th poem thus echoes the arrival of Christianity to Finland and

2016-402: The bow had an evil spirit, asking for a new victim each day, and so Ilmarinen broke it and cast the pieces back into the fire. On the second day, there came a metal ship from the fire, with ribs of gold and copper oars.

This book's main plot is the ingress of several characters -

2142-634: The diminutive suffix - nen enabled the formation of the name Ilmarinen , which neatly fills two trochaic feet and so became the dominant form of the name in that tradition. Ilmari(nen) is believed to have taken on the qualities of a smith through the Proto-Finnic contact with iron-working cultures, such as the Indo-European Balts or speakers of Common Germanic . Ilmarinen is also directly appealed to for aid in several incantation runes. Insofar as Elias Lönnrot heavily redacted

2205-759: The effects of child abuse. Canto 36 ends with Väinämöinen stating that an abused child will never attain a healthy state of mind even as an adult, but will instead grow up to be a very disturbed person. Then the aged Väinämöinen, When he heard that he had perished, And that Kullervo had fallen, Spoke his mind in words that follow: "Never, people, in the future, Rear a child in crooked fashion, Rocking them in stupid fashion, Soothing them to sleep like strangers. Children reared in crooked fashion, Boys thus rocked in stupid fashion, Grow not up with understanding, Nor attain to man's discretion, Though they live till they are aged, And in body well-developed." "Kullervo" from Kalevala , [1] Kullervo

2268-430: The eggs that then fell and shattered in the waters. Land was formed from the lower part of one of the eggshells, while sky formed from the top. The egg whites turned into the moon and stars, and the yolk became the sun. Ilmatar continued to float in the waters. Her footprints became pools for fish, and by pointing she created contours in the land. In this way she made all that is. Then one day she gave birth to Väinämöinen,

2331-448: The first man. Väinämöinen swam until he found land, but the land was barren. With Sampsa Pellervoinen he spread life over the land. In the eighteenth century folk tale collected by Cristfried Ganander , Väinämöinen is said to be son of Kaleva and thus brother of Ilmarinen . His name is believed to come from the Finnish word väinä , meaning stream pool . In the nineteenth century, some folklorists, most notably Elias Lönnrot ,

2394-487: The four winds to fan the flames. The winds blow for three days, until finally, the Sampo is born, taking the shape of a magic mill that produces grain, salt and gold. Pleased with his creation at last, Ilmarinen presents it to Louhi, who promptly locks it in a vault deep underground. Returning triumphant to the Maiden of Pohjola, Ilmarinen bids her to become his wife. To his dismay, she refuses to leave her native land, forcing him to return home alone and dejected. Variants of

2457-421: The fruitless path of evil and revenge. His mother asks what will become of her and Kullervo's father in their old age, and what will become of Kullervo's siblings if he's not there to take care of them, but Kullervo only replies that they can all die for all he cares about is revenge. As he leaves, he asks if his father, brother and sister will mourn him if he dies, but they say they won't—that they'd rather wait for

2520-409: The furnace and tells Ilmarinen to "forge from her a thousand trinkets". Speaking to all of his people, he further adds: "Never, youths, however wretched, Nor in future, upgrown heroes, Whether you have large possessions, Or are poor in your possessions, In the course of all your lifetime, While the golden moon is shining, May you woo a golden woman, Or distress yourselves for silver, For

2583-565: The gleam of gold is freezing, Only frost is breathed by silver." The tale of the Golden Wife can be seen as a cautionary tale based on the theme of "money cannot buy happiness". To a contemporary reader, there is also a similarity to the hubristic nature of the Golem legend, or to Frankenstein , in that even the most skilled of mortals cannot rival divine perfection when creating life. In another example of Lönnrot's editorial license,

3024-531: The news, Väinämöinen comments that children should never be given away or ill-treated in their upbringing, lest like Kullervo they fail to attain understanding and a man's discretion. Kullervo is fairly ordinary in Finnish mythology , in being a naturally talented magician; however, he is the only irredeemably tragic example. He showed great potential, but being raised badly, he became an ignorant, implacable, immoral and vengeful man. The death poem of Kullervo in which he, like Macbeth , interrogates his blade,

3150-416: The original runes used by Lönnrot in compiling the Kalevala present a different picture of Ilmarinen. In one variant of The Sampo ( Kuusi, Bosley & Branch 1977 , rune 12) for example, Ilmarinen goes willingly to Pohjola to forge the Sampo, not because he was tricked by Väinämöinen, but in order to redeem Väinämöinen from death.

Kullervo then flees from slavery and finds that his family

Stripping Väinämöinen from his direct godlike characteristics, Lönnrot turned Väinämöinen into the son of the primal goddess Ilmatar , whom Lönnrot had invented himself. In this story, it was she who was floating in the sea when
