Spruces In Finnish Mythology & Folklore (Finnish With Subs) - Duration: 3:35.

Merry Meet lovely people. It is Niina and you are watching Fairychamber Channel.

In Finland most important conifers are spruces

and pines.

In Finnish folklore spruce has been one of the sacred trees.

More further north one travels spruces become more thin.

This is because in north

thick trees wont handle the

the weight of the snow and

and that is why

spruces become thicker and thicker the more north you´ll go.

Tallest spruce tree in Finland can be found from the Vesijako´s natural park

and it is 45 meters tall.

Finnish word kuusi (spruce) is proto Finno-Ugric

word.

When pine tree in Finnish mythology often is connected to the sun.

Spruces are connected to the moon.

Word Kuusi (spruce tree) might also have connections to the Finnish word Kuu (the moon).

Spruce have been also connected to the shadows and night. Yönpuu (tree of the night) varjopuu (tree of the shadow).

Spruces grow very thick and create shadows that is why

there is always very little life below them.

Young spruce tree can only grow in the shadows of

older spruce trees.

Spruces have been musical trees.

When person went into the spruce forest to shout

there was always a great echo.

People also carved countless Kanteles (traditional Finnish harp-like instrument)

and bells for the cows.

Resin collected from the spruce trees was used to heal wounds

and it was used as disinfectant

substant.

People also used to chew spruces resin like chewing gum

and heal their teeth ache with it.

Back in the days hunters, travelers, berry pickers

often stayed under a spruce tree if it started to rain.

For a

traveler handful of spruce branches

was a great mattress. To me that

sounds like sleeping on a spike strip.

During summer field works children were

taken under spruce trees to sleep

because it was cool there.

In Finnish mythology pines are sacred to Ukko the thunder god

and spruce is sacred to Tapio the forest god.

Spruce tree that grow wider not taller

and didn´t really have a clear top was called Tapionpöytä (Tapio´s table).

Hunters were supposed to eat

the first hunted meal in the Tapio´s table.

If there was left over food it was sacrificed to the god

and put under the tree.

Tapio´s table was also known as Tapionkämmen Tapio´s palm.

Hunter also had to sacrifice

goblet of vodka to the Tapio´s palm or the first hunted

rabbit.

That is how hunters made shore they got good hunting luck

and also showed respect for the forest god

and/or to the forest deities.

Bringing Christmas trees inside houses started in Middle Ages among Lutherans.

Custom that later on also arrived to Finland from Germany.

But custom itself has much older origins.

In Finland and in all Scandinavian countries

homes were decorated with always-green tree branches during winter solstice.

This didn´t only happen in Finland

or just in Scandinavian countries.

It was a custom practiced all over

northern hemisphere in countries where people celebrated winter solstice in all different ways.

Briging ever-green tree branches inside

were symbols of vitality and eternal life.

In Finland conifer trees have always symbolized vitality

also because they are common part of the landscape

and are ever-green trees.

Thank you for watching. I will see you on my next video.

Bye bye )O(
