Beliefs Of The West Finns As Exhibited In The Magic Songs 1 PREFACE In this country the term Finn is generally restricted to the natives of Finland, with perhaps those of Esthonia thrown in. But besides these Western Finns there are other small nationalities in Central and Northern Russia, such as the Erza and Mokša Mordvins, the Čeremis, Votiaks, Permians, and Zịrians, to whom the term is very properly applied, though with the qualifying adjective—Eastern. Except by Folklorists, little attention is paid in Great Britain to these peoples, and much that is written of them abroad finds no response here, the 'silver streak' acting, it would seem, as a non-conductor to such unsensational and feeble vibrations. Although the languages of the Eastern and Western Finns differ as much perhaps among themselves as the various members of the Aryan group, the craniological and physical differences between any two Finnish groups is very much less than between the Latin and the Teutonic groups, for instance. All the Finns live nearly under the same latitudes, and in pre- and proto-historic times, which are not so very remote, the differences in customs, religious and other beliefs, could not have been very great. This is important; it allows us to supplement what is missing or defective in one Finnish group by what is more complete in another, with far greater certainty than when dealing under similar circumstances with the Aryan- speaking groups. In the first five chapters of the first volume I have tried, with the combined aid of craniology, archæology, ethnography, and philology, brought up to date, to sketch as succinctly as possible the pre- and proto-historic history of the Eastern and Western Finns, showing the various stages of civilisation to which they successively advanced after contact with higher civilisations, at different periods of their evolution from neolithic times to the middle ages. Chapters six and seven contain an analysis of the beliefs of the Western Finns, so far as they can be gathered from the text of the Magic Songs in the second volume; and a perusal of them will facilitate the comprehension of the Magic Songs themselves. The second volume, containing 639 magic songs, some of considerable length, classed under 233 headings, is a translation of a very large portion of 2 the Suomen kansan muinaisia Loitsurunoja, edited and published by the late Dr. Lönnrot in 1880. As the translation was made for Folklorists it is as literal as possible, without additions, without subtractions, and the vocabulary employed is in conformity with the subject, with the humble social status and homely surroundings of the original composers. The metre of the original is the same as in the Kalevala, which cannot be reproduced in a language like English, where the ictus of the metre has to coincide with the natural stress-accent of the words. But where it could be done without loss of exactness a certain rhythm, generally three beats to a line, is given in the translation, though to save space the lines are printed in prose form. In the work of translating the Magic Songs I owe a debt of gratitude to Lektor Raitio, with whom I first began to study them a good many years ago, for much friendly assistance. Finally, I acknowledge with thanks the reproduction of four illustrations borrowed from Mr. J. R. Aspelin's Antiquités du Nord Finno-ougrien, four from Mr. Kudriavtsev, three from Mr. Inostrantsev, one from Mr. Spitsịn, and twelve from photographs given me by Mr. Novokreščennịkh. The six illustrations from sketches made by myself were made hurriedly, and are not absolutely correct, though adequate, I hope, for the purpose. Edinburgh, August 1898. 3 THE VALUE OF ADDITIONAL LETTERS OF THE ALPHABET c in East Finnish = ts. č = Eng. ch in choose. ḷ = tl. j ̌ = Eng. j in joke. ṅ, ñ̇ = Eng. ng in bring. š = Eng. sh in shall. ž = French j in jour. χ =kh or ch in Sc. loch.

The bride remembers with tears that she is now quitting her dear birthplace for the rest of her life, and says farewell to all While he saw the trees had flourished, And the saplings sprouted bravely, Yet had Jumala's tree, the oak-tree, Not struck down its root and sprouted. On the stone of joy he sat him, On the stone of song he rested, Sang an hour, and sang a second, And again he sang a third time: Thus reversed his words of magic, And dissolved the spell completely.

  • Wäinämöisen Sammon Palautuksen Veneretki Rotary Alustus 28.2.2019, Väinö Åberg
    1 / 5 Wäinämöisen Sammon palautuksen veneretki Rotary alustus 28.2.2019, Väinö Åberg Louhi lupasi Ilmariselle Sammon takomisesta Pohjan Neidon, mutta pettikin lupauksensa ja piti sekä Sammon että Neidon. Runo 10. Ihmisyyden Sammon taonta - käsiohjelma: http://www.samponetti.com/Sampo-k_siohj.pdf avaa Kalevalan symbo- liikkaa ja Kalevala Kartan Päijänteen-Enoveden-Vuohijärven-Pyhäjärven ja Kymijoen alueilta Kalevalan tapahtumien järjestyksessä, jonka maist. Matti Malin löysi noin 40 vuoden Kalevalan paikannimien tutkimuksilla. 1. Kalevala, Lönnrot ja muinaisrunojen satumainen Wiisaus Lönnrotin kokoama vanha Kalevala ilmestyi 1835 ja uusi Kalevala 1849. Kalevalan mukaan SAMPO ANTAA KAIKEN HYVÄN maailmassa, aineellisen ja aineettoman, ja Lönnrotin mielestä siihen ei pysty mikään muu elämässä kuin Suuri Elämä eli Jumala. - Sampo on sanskritiksi Sambhu = Jumala (Hyvyys) ja Sammon kansi = Sambhu kanta, on jumalan puoliso (Rakkaus). Sanskritin kieli on kaikkien kielten äitikieli, jonka sanakirjan paksuus on n. 15 m, 600 volymiä, kertoi sanskr. prof Asko Parpola. ”Jokamies, taiatko takoa Sammon eli puhdistaa Pohjolasi, so. sielusi tunteilut ja luulotiedot? Osaatko hillitä mielesi ja puheesi, ja laulaa oman alitajuntasi rumahisten rutkusakin Rutjankoskeen?” Taonnan TEKELEET: Jousi, Hieho, Vene, Aura. Vain Hengen voimilla, Tuulettarilla, Sampo syntyy eikä lihaksilla lietsomalla. Lietsojaorjat kahlehdittiin kallioon, jotta väkivalta ei sotkisi taontaa eli sydämen puhdistusta. 2.

  • Forest Economy in the U.S.S.R
    STUDIA FORESTALIA SUECICA NR 39 1966 Forest Economy in the U.S.S.R. An Analysis of Soviet Competitive Potentialities Skogsekonomi i Sovjet~rnionen rned en unalys av landets potentiella konkurrenskraft by KARL VIICTOR ALGTTERE SICOGSH~GSICOLAN ROYAL COLLEGE OF FORESTRY STOCKHOLM Lord Keynes on the role of the economist: "He must study the present in the light of the past for the purpose of the future." Printed in Sweden by ESSELTE AB STOCKHOLM Foreword Forest Economy in the U.S.S.R. is a special study of the forestry sector of the Soviet economy. As such it makes a further contribution to the studies undertaken in recent years to elucidate the means and ends in Soviet planning; also it attempts to assess the competitive potentialities of the U.S.S.R. in international trade. Soviet studies now command a very great interest and are being undertaken at some twenty universities and research institutes mainly in the United States, the United Kingdoin and the German Federal Republic. However, it would seem that the study of the development of the forestry sector has riot received the detailed attention given to other fields. In any case, there have not been any analytical studies published to date elucidating fully the connection between forestry and the forest industries and the integration of both in the economy as a whole. Studies of specific sections have appeared from time to time, but I have no knowledge of any previous study which gives a complete picture of the Soviet forest economy and which could faci- litate the marketing policies of the western world, being undertaken at any university or college.

Kuvitukset pohjautuivat Kalevalan taruston hahmoihin ja olivat ilmaisullisesti toteu- tettu. Tekijä perehtyi Kalevalaan ja pelikorttien historiaan, jonka kautta hän muodosti omat näkemyksensä toteutettavista kuvituksista. Taustatietoa hankittiin tutkimalla pelikorttien historiaa, analysoimalla muutamia korttipelejä ja tutkimalla tekijän lempitaiteilijoita ja heidän töitään. Näiden taustatietojen lisäksi tutkittiin Kalevala eeposta ja sen taruston henkilöitä, jotka analysoitiin ja jaoteltiin pelikorttien kuvakortteihin. Pelikorttien kuvituksiksi ideoitiin tekijän näköinen kokonaisuus, jonka tarkoitus oli olla moderni ja näyttävä. Kuvitusten tyyli henkii tekijän omia intui- tiivisia ajatuksia ja mieltymyksiä Kalevalan hahmoista. Tekijä toteutti 52 kortin pelipakan, jossa oli 16 kuvallista korttia, 36 numerokorttia ja kaksi kuvallista jokerikorttia.

  • Editors' Introduction Douglas A
    Editors' Introduction Douglas A. Anderson Michael D. C. Drout Verlyn Flieger Tolkien Studies, Volume 7, 2010 Published by West Virginia University Press Editors’ Introduction This is the seventh issue of Tolkien Studies, the first refereed journal solely devoted to the scholarly study of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. As editors, our goal is to publish excellent scholarship on Tolkien as well as to gather useful research information, reviews, notes, documents, and bibliographical material. In this issue we are especially pleased to publish Tolkien’s early fiction “The Story of Kullervo” and the two existing drafts of his talk on the Kalevala, transcribed and edited with notes and commentary by Verlyn Flieger. With this exception, all articles have been subject to anonymous, ex- ternal review as well as receiving a positive judgment by the Editors. In the cases of articles by individuals associated with the journal in any way, each article had to receive at least two positive evaluations from two different outside reviewers. Reviewer comments were anonymously conveyed to the authors of the articles. The Editors agreed to be bound by the recommendations of the outside referees. The Editors also wish to call attention to the Cumulative Index to vol- umes one through five of Tolkien Studies, compiled by Jason Rea, Michael D.C. Drout, Tara L. McGoldrick, and Lauren Provost, with Maryellen Groot and Julia Rende. The Cumulative Index is currently available only through the online subscription database Project Muse. Douglas A.

In the Law Code of 1649, Russia definitively bound peasants of all ranks to their official places of residence to facilitate tax collection and provide a workforce for the nobility serving in the army. In the ensuing century and a half, the government introduced new censuses, internal passports, and monetary fines; dispatched investigative commissions; and coerced provincial authorities and residents into surveilling and policing outsiders. Despite these legislative measures and enforcement mechanisms, many thousands of peasants left their localities in search of jobs, opportunities, and places to settle. While many fugitives toiled as barge haulers, factory workers, and agriculturalists, some turned to brigandage and river piracy. Others employed deception or forged passports to concoct fictitious identities, register themselves in villages and towns, and negotiate their status within the existing social structure.
