That steady old Väinämöinen heads south across the ice and snow on a sledge from his exile in the frozen wastes of Pohjola and attempts—without success—to flirt with the lovely lady alive in the sky. #MythologyMonday #ofdarkandmacabre #kalevala 🖼️N.C. Wyeth
The OC vs the Inspiration
Lmao Runo started partly from the idea of wanting to do a bard that plays Kantele as their instrument inspired by Väinämöinen from Kalevala, and the looks and bit of backstory/personality were based on my old Neopet character who was a RoyalBoy Kyrii...

Pike parts were believed to have many magical qualities, especially jaws and teeth, which were believed to be a part of the creation of music. In Kalevala,the Finnish epic, the hero Väinämöinen makes a kantele (a type of string instrument) from a giant pike’s jaw #MythologyMonday

That steady old Väinämöinen sure plays a mean kantele #MythologyMonday
Dreary Pohjola is that strange, inhospitable land far to the north where Dame Louhi guards the magical sampo, at least until Kalevala’s heroes, Ilmarinen and Väinämöinen, decide to travel north themselves and take it from her. #FolkloreThursday
