The book delves into the Finnish national epic, the Kalevala, arguing for its intrinsic spiritual and esoteric values that surpass merely folkloric interpretations. Ervast approaches the Kalevala as more than just a collection of poems; he positions it as a sacred text imbued with mystical insights regarding life and existence, reflecting ancient wisdom and the universal experiences of humanity. The opening of "Kalevalan avain" introduces the author's perspective on the Kalevala, asserting that modern interpretations have overlooked its deeper meanings and significance. Ervast acknowledges the scholarly discourse that regards the Kalevala as a mere collection of folk poetry, critiquing this view as insufficient. He proposes that the epic holds profound esoteric knowledge, likely rooted in the spiritual traditions of the Finnish people. Through an exploration of the themes presented in the verses, including the nature of reality and human existence, Ervast argues that the Kalevala can be read as a sacred book that offers guidance for attaining higher truths and understanding the mysteries of life and the spiritual cosmos.
