This text delves into the religious beliefs and mythological constructs of the Finnish people, primarily focusing on their ancient nature worship and rituals as expressed through folk poetry and oral traditions. The work aims to reconstruct and analyze the spiritual framework of Finnish paganism, gathering insights from various sources and historical studies. At the start of the work, the author introduces the significance of studying religion as a central aspect of human existence, particularly highlighting the lack of written records regarding Finnish paganism in contrast to other cultures that have documented such beliefs. Krohn discusses the evolution of religious studies, emphasizing the collection and preservation of oral traditions, such as old runes, which serve as vital evidence of pre-Christian beliefs. He notes the scholarly contributions of previous researchers in this field and sets the stage for his exploration of Finnish mythology, shamanism, and the connection between ancient practices and modern beliefs, asserting that a comprehensive understanding of this topic requires a comparative approach with similar spiritual traditions from other cultures.
