Podcasts about Kalevala

There is a force known by many names--and many names are inherent within the various practices of our Ancestors. As we harken back into the past, and turn our gaze to the Northeastern parts of our world, we may learn--from the tales and legends of old--that there is a profound amount of wisdom yet to be discovered...WE ARE GOING TO SALEM!Instagram: @beyondtheseaspodcastEMAIL ME: beyondtheseaspodcast@gmail.comTarot Collaboration: @thefeatherwitchnycPodcast website: https://beyondtheseas.buzzsprout.com/More info: https://www.kierandanaan.com/beyond-the-seasWINE COLLAB!!!

Join us in the rehearsal room as we craft a new epic - an origin story that celebrates and redefines the migration experience. Songs of Solidarity (the current working title for Dash Arts and Projekt Europa's new project) brings together artists, researchers, and refugees to co-create a powerful music-theatre performance.In this episode we look at what makes epics, epic. We explore ancient epics like Kalevala, Gilgamesh, and the Odyssey with academics and then, with migrant artists, asylum seekers and refugees, investigate how we can create new ones rooted in solidarity, displacement, and friendship across time.You can see more in our short film and there's more to come throughout 2025. In this episode we hear from:Josephine Burton - Artistic Director of Dash ArtsProfessor Fiona Macintosh - Emeritus Professor of Classical Reception, University of OxfordMaria Aberg - Artistic Director of PROJEKT EUROPAMarouf Majidi - composer and musicianSabrina Mahfouz - writer and poet Luca Macchi - actor and musician Namvula Rennie - actor and musicianChen Xu - actor and musician Natalia Kakarkina - actor and musicianSurya Chandra - actor and musicianSongs of Solidarity is a PROJEKT EUROPA and Dash Arts co-production.

Stāsta mākslas zinātniece, Latvijas Mākslas akadēmijas docente Helēna Demakova Vai zini, kāds sakars Somijas Ziemas karam pret PSRS un Laikmetīgās mākslas muzejam KIASMA Helsinkos? Deviņdesmito gadu vidū somus pārņēma milzu dusmas. Tauta mobilizējās, un pirmajās dienās tika savākti 40 000 paraksti. Tad parādījās vairāk parakstu. Somi bija sašutuši, viņiem neraksturīgi un temperamentīgi kaislības sita augstu vilni. Dusmu avots bija slavenā amerikāņu arhitekta Stīvena Holla lēmumi, būvējot jauno laikmetīgās mākslas muzeju Helsinkos ar simbolisko nosaukumu KIASMA. Pat deviņdesmito gadu sākumā, kad Somiju skāra dziļa finanšu krīze, ļaudis šo krīzi pacieta stoiski. Toreiz bija apdraudēta viņu labklājība, bet ne identitāte, kā KIASMA gadījumā. 1998. gadā, kad muzeju KIASMA atklāja, biju klāt preses konferencē, kad Stīvens Holls izstāstīja, kā viņam gāja ar lieliskās ēkas būvniecību. Vēlāk par to lasīju ievērojamā somu mākslas kritiķa un pedagoga Mikas Hanulas promocijas darbā, kas bija veltīts somu identitātes struktūrai un veidolam. Bet viss kaislību stāsts aizsākās 1992. gadā. Togad tika nolemts, ka Somijas Nacionālas galerijas sastāvā esošais muzejs Ateneum piešķirs vienu stāvu topošam laikmetīgās mākslas muzejam. Jaunā muzeja ēkas vēl nebija, bet sākās krājuma veidošana un tika radīta jauna struktūrvienība. Starp citu, tieši šādu modeli ir izvēlējusies pašreizējā Latvijas Republikas Kultūras ministrijas vadība. Pēc kāda laika tika izsludināts starptautisks konkurss par ēkas arhitektu, un viens redzams somu politiķis bija atradis asprātīgu veidu, kā ēku finansēt. Konkursā uzvarēja jau pieminētais amerikānis Stīvens Holls un tad sākās nedienas. Kad viņš prezentēja savu projektu pasūtītājiem, viņa maketā bija redzams, ka viņš vēlas par dažiem metriem pārvietot maršala Manerheima skulptūru, kura atradās topošajā būvlaukumā iepretim Somijas parlamentam. Tautas sašutums bija neizmērojams. Vai šis amerikānis vispār zina, ko somiem nozīmē maršals Manerheims?! Vai viņš zina to, ka Manerheims vadīja, organizēja somus pret PSRS pārspēku cīņās 1939. un 1940. gadā, ko vēsture pazīst kā Ziemas karu? Vai amerikānis kaut ko zina par Manerheima līniju, pie kuras pēdējā posma krievi apstājās? Vai viņš zina, ka pat zaudējot Karēliju un dažas citas teritorijas, Somija saglabāja savu valstisko neatkarību un valsts iekārtu? Stīvens Holls tajā preses konferencē vaļsirdīgi pateica, ka tikai pēc milzu trača patiesi uzzinājis par Somijas visu laiku populārākā cilvēka, maršala Manerheima nozīmi somu sabiedrībā. Viņš saprata, ka maršalu Manerheimu nedrīkst pārvietot pat dažus centimetrus. Interesanti, ka var notikt tā, ka stereotipi par kādu no tautām, ko šķietam zinām labi, izrādās virspusēji. Mūsdienu Somijā, it sevišķi, ja blakus ir tas pats milzu kaimiņš, kas mums, un par kuru mēs nezinām, kurā brīdī tas sāks uz mums velties, Somijas identitāte vairs nav tikai sauna, “Kalevala”, Sibēliuss, Ziemassvētku vecītis, Nokia un vēl daži lieliski jaukumi. Maršala Manerheima gars ir dzīvs, somu vēlme ir neatkāpties no viņa mantojuma ne par centimetru.  

In questa puntata abbiamo avuto ospite Maddalena Mazzola, traduttrice editoriale dall'inglese, dallo spagnolo e dal finlandese. E proprio da quest'ultima lingua che quest'anno ha tradotto per la Mondadori "Indagine di un gatto" di Katja Kettu, un romanzo incentrato tra le vicende di due donne finlandese, una ambientata nella prima metà del '900 e l'altra ai giorni nostri, il tutto sorretto da una leggere flessione fantastica e mistica. Durante la puntata abbiamo anche affrontato una chiacchierata sul ruolo dei traduttori, sulle difficoltà ed elasticità in questo lavoro, sulle influenze della Finlandia nella cultura pop e qualche consiglio letterario/cinematografico.

Today we jump right into it. We will follow the grave robbing life of the 19th century's most famous phrenologist, Gustaf "the skull measurer" Retzius. A historical paparazzi trip from Kalevala's Finland to an Egypt of stolen mummies and chloroform scamming on Turtle Island. Sebbe helps me understand early bourgeois paedophile networks, workhouses, orphanages and summer camps during the last decades before the invention of the automobile. We begin mapping the Eugenics Internationale by looking at member lists of the first anthropological  societies. I discover a collection of old ghost stories which explains why the Retzius home was called the Ghost Castle.  Dark tales about Swedenborgian pirates and Dutch slave traders, the coincidence of a hidden crypt of anonymous skeletons in the garden of the foremost bone collector.

Perjantaistudiossa keskustellaan kiihkeätsi kesän ajankohtaisista kulttuuri- ja mediailmiöistä sekä arvokysymyksistä. Mukana Perjantaistudion raadissa ovat kirjailija Virpi Hämeen-Anttila, kriitikko Leena Virtanen sekä ekonomisti Heikki Pursiainen. Ville Talola juontaa. Karjalaisista aktivisteista koostuvan Ruškiemustu-kollektiivin mukaan Elias Lönnrot oli kolonialisti ja sortui kulttuuriseen omimiseen kootessaan Kalevalaa. Ja me suomalaiset olemme varastaneet tämän kulttuuriperinnön omaksemme. Tästä syystä he katsoivat tarpeelliseksi kirjoittaa Elias Lönnrotin patsaaseen spraymaalilla sanan kolonialisti. Nyt selvitetään, oliko Lönnrot tosiaan kolonialisti ja karjalaisten kulttuurin varastaja. Kesällä käytiin vilkasta keskustelua Ylen journalismista ja DEI-koulutuksista. Toimittajat Sanna Ukkola ja Ivan Puopolo kritisoivat Yleä ideologisesta doktrinaatiosta ja poliittisesta korrektisuudesta, mikä herätti laajaa huomiota erityisesti X:ssä mutta mediaan aiheesta valui vain pieni osa. Keskustelussa pohditaan nyt, säilyttääkö Yle journalistisen integriteettinsä, ja minkä verran DEI-koulutukset vaikuttavat sen toimintaan. Miten raati arvioi Puopolon ja Ukkolan väitteet? Mikä on Heikki Pursiaisen mielestä isompi ongelma Ylen kaltaisessa isossa mediatalossa? Miten nuorten julkisiin kannanoittoihin pitäisi suhtautua? Nuoruudesta huomauttelu on nähty epäasiallisena kuten sukupuolen tai etnisyyden. Greta Thunbergin ja Patrick Itäniemen tapaukset osoittavat, että nuoria suojellaan kritiikiltä, mutta nuoruus ei saisi olla kritiikin kohde. Itäniemen tuloeroja puolustaviin mielipiteisiin vastataan usein opettajamaisesti. Nettikommentit ovat myrkyllisiä, ja nuoria kohdellaan samoin kuin aikuisia, mikä herättää kysymyksiä argumentoinnin tasosta. Onko meillä vaikeuksia puhua nuorelle asia-argumentein? Psykoterapeutti Katarina Meskanen ja lihavuus- ja kehotutkija tutkija Hannele Harjunen varoittavat HS:n artikkelissa otsikoltaan Kehopikamuoti (14.8) kehoihanteista, jotka voivat muuttua entistä epärealistisemmiksi, vaikeammin saavutettaviksi ja ahdistaviksi. Artikkeli käsittelee kehonkuva- ja kauneusihanteiden jatkuvaa ja nopeaa muutosta, joka muistuttaa pikamuodin kiertokulkua. Aiemmin kehopositiivisuus nosti esiin kaikenlaisten kehojen hyväksymisen, mutta nyt laihuuden ihannointi on tehnyt paluun, erityisesti sosiaalisen median ja tekoälyn vaikutuksesta. Tämä trendi korostaa ulkonäön merkitystä, mikä voi luoda paineita erityisesti nuorille ja heikentää itsetuntoa. Miksi ulkonäkö on niin kipeä asia?

En Suisse, les détenus souffrant de troubles mentaux vivent lʹenfer. Incarcérés en raison dʹun acte répréhensible commis en état de responsabilité diminuée, ils sont condamnés à une détention assortie dʹune mesure thérapeutique, selon lʹarticle 59 du Code pénal. Or en Suisse romande, faute de moyens, cet article 59 équivaut à de lʹinternement : ils croupissent en prison. Un reportage de Carole Pirker.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the Finnish epic poem that first appeared in print in 1835 in what was then the Grand Duchy of Finland, part of the Russian Empire and until recently part of Sweden. The compiler of this epic was a doctor, Elias Lönnrot (1802-1884), who had travelled the land to hear traditional poems about mythical heroes being sung in Finnish, the language of the peasantry, and writing them down in his own order to create this landmark work. In creating The Kalevala, Lönnrot helped the Finns realise they were a distinct people apart from Sweden and Russia, who deserved their own nation state and who came to demand independence, which they won in 1917.

Kilpailu on kovaa luonnossa, joten kaikki konstit on käytössä. Tehokkaat myrkyt raivaavat elintilaa ja kilpailijoita. Ne suojaavat myös syödyksi tulemiselta, mutta hyvin pieninä annoksina samat myrkyt voivat toimia ihmisten lääkkeinä. Monet luonnosta löydetyt lääkkeet ovat alkujaan eliöiden myrkyllisiä puolustuskemikaaleja. Homo sapiens on kokeilemalla löytänyt monen myrkyn ja sen lääkekäytön välisen rajan. Botuliinimyrkky eli botox on voimakas hermomyrkky. Ruuassa tai hutiloiden käytettynä se voi tappaa ihmispolon, mutta sillä voidaan hoitaa muun muassa lihaskramppeja ja migreeniä. Monia vanhoja lääkeyrttejä on siirretty maustehyllyyn. Osalla niistä on kuitenkin tehoa esimerkiksi yskänlääkkeissä. Tulevaisuuden lääkkeitä etsivät vanhempi yliopiston lehtori Yvonne Holm ja farmakologian professori Tomi Rantamäki Helsingin yliopistosta. Tiedeykkösen toimittaa Leena Mattila.

Ohjelmassa pohditaan myös mitä tapahtuu, jos vältellään edistämisen estämistä ja tutkitaan, mitä lonkalla voi tehdä Karibian rannikolla. Ohjelman ovat toimittaneet Pasi Heikura ja Tina Cavén.

Íslensk Erfðagreining tilkynnti rétt fyrir útsendingu Mannlega þáttarins að vísindamenn á þeirra vegum, hér á landi, í Danmörku og Bandaríkjunum hafi fundið erfðabreytileika sem hefur áhrif á endurröðun erfðaefnis og eykur líkur á fósturláti. Í erfðarannsókninni tóku þátt yfir 114 þúsund konur sem misst hafa fóstur. Kári Stefánsson, forstjóri Íslenskrar Erfðagreiningar og Valgerður Steinþórsdóttir, vísindamaður og verkefnastjóri hjá ÍE, komu í þáttinn og útskýrðu betur fyrir okkur þessa rannsókn og niðurstöður hennar. Við fengum svo vinkil í dag frá Guðjóni Helga Ólafssyni, en þetta var 70. Vinkillinn sem við fáum frá honum. Í dag lagði hann vinkilinn að því sem hann kallar þjóðfræðinördisma, snjó á trjágreinum, Finnland og fræga Finna, auk þess sem finnska þjóðkvæðið Kalevala og uppruni þess fær töluverða athygli. Svo var það lesandi vikunnar, í þetta sinn var það Sigrún Inga Sigurgeirsdóttir. Hún var að hætta störfum á Bókasafni Vestmannaeyja og eins og hún segir sjálf þá er hún að nota í fyrsta skipti titilinn eftirlaunaþegi. Við spurðum hana út í hennar störf á bókasafninu og fengum svo auðvitað að vita hvað hún hefur verið að lesa undanfarið og svo hvaða bækur og höfundar hafa haft mest áhrif á hana í gegnum tíðina. Sigrún Inga talaði um eftirfarandi bækur: Banvænn fundur e. Anders de la Motte og Måns Nilsson Morð á opnu húsi e. Anders de la Motte og Måns Nilsson Sjö systur e. Lucindu Riley Vakandi hugur, vökult hjarta e. Thomas Keating Bókin um fyrirgefninguna e. Desmond Tutu Pollýanna e. Eleanor H. Porter Svo talaði Sigrún um höfundana Agöthu Christie, Ragnar Jónasson og Yrsu Sigurðardóttur, Arnald Indriðason og Sólveigu Pálsdóttur Tónlist í þætti dagsins: Þorparinn / Pálmi Gunnarsson (Magnús Eiríksson) Bird on a Wire / Leonard Cohen (Leonard Cohen) Baba oni taxi / J.O. Oyesiku and his Rainbow Quintette UMSJÓN: GUNNAR HANSSON OG GUÐRÚN GUNNARSDÓTTIR

Susanna Salo was looking for a deck of Tarot cards inspired by Finnish mythology, but could not find one. So she decided to make one herself. More than a decade later, close to the global relaunch of the English version of her mesmerizing and dreamlike deck, we were lucky enough to get to speak to her In the Borderlands. About the creative process, being inspired by dreams, following the inner voice, how the mythology of Kalevala blended with the Tarot system to create something entirely new, and of deep listening. We even get to draw a few cards!

Katia De Marco"Castelli d'aria"e altre fiabe finlandesiZacharias TopeliusIperborea Edizioniwww.iperborea.comTraduzione e Postfazione a cura di Katia De MarcoL'anelito al sogno e alla fantasia in una raccolta di fiabe d'autore che mescolano con grazia tradizione europea e folklore finnico.Uno sguardo puro, un animo di bambino e la capacità di abbandonarsi alla fantasia e al sogno: sono queste le porte per accedere al bello e alla realtà più profonda e nascosta delle cose. Chi vuole vedere e conservare in sé l'incanto di Oberon che con il suo flauto fa ballare i bambini, o lo splendore della «bambina nel cielo, seduta sul bordo delle nuvole vespertine a tessere una tela di filo d'argento», dovrà farlo prima che l'età adulta gli veli gli occhi. Perché a fare castelli in aria non sono i pazzi, ma gli eletti capaci di vederli davvero, quei castelli fatti d'aria e popolati di magiche creature. Inserendosi nel filone delle fiabe d'autore di Perrault, dei fratelli Grimm e di Andersen, l'opera di Zacharias Topelius si arricchisce del patrimonio folklorico finnico confluito nell'epos nazionale del Kalevala e insieme fa trapelare una spiccata sensibilità per una natura mai disgiunta da bellezza e religiosità. Il paesaggio del grande Nord, con i suoi arcipelaghi e le sue brughiere, diventa a tratti protagonista, trasfigurandosi in uno splendido e arcano luogo di pace raggiungibile solo in sogno nelle Isole delle Piume, oppure animandosi di vita propria nella Corte dei fiori, dove alberi e fiori nordici prendono la parola per esprimere sentimenti tutti umani in un delicato minuetto venato di umorismo. E quella stessa leggerezza da passo di danza ravviva anche le narrazioni in cui l'insegnamento morale è più sentito, come nel caso del Gallo del campanile o del Cappello di Parigi, con la loro condanna della superbia e della presunzione, facendo di questa raccolta di fiabe di metà Ottocento un intreccio di poesia e pedagogia dall'equilibrio perfetto.Zacharias Topelius (1818-1898)- scrittore finlandese di lingua svedese considerato cantore nazionale, è autore di circa trecento testi per bambini, tra fiabe, racconti e poesie, oltre che di romanzi storici, testi teatrali e opere divulgative di argomento storico, naturalistico e geografico. Fine conoscitore e promotore del patrimonio culturale del suo paese, vi attinse per i quattro volumi di Sagor (Fiabe, 1847-1852) dai quali è tratta questa raccolta, come pure per gli otto di Läsning för barn (Letture per bambini, 1865-1896). Castelli d'aria è il decimo volume della serie di fiabe nordiche curata da Bruno Berni per Iperborea, dopo Fiabe lapponi, Fiabe danesi, Fiabe islandesi, Fiabe svedesi, Fiabe faroesi, Fiabe norvegesi, Leggende groenlandesi, Fiabe finlandesi e Intorno al fuoco. Fiabe e storie della terra dei sami.Katia De Marco, piemontese trapiantata a Cagliari, si è laureata in inglese e svedese, lingue da cui traduce da quasi vent'anni con una cinquantina di libri al suo attivo per numerose case editrici, tra cui Iperborea, Marsilio, Einaudi, NNEditore.

Tuntemamme Kalevala ei syntynyt autenttisesta materiaalista Lönnrotin keräämästä materiaalista. Lönnrot editoi voimakkaasti tekstiä, teki siitä siveellisesti kelpoisampaa ja rakensi kokonaisia tarinoita ajalliseen ja juonelliseen muotoon. Kalevala syntyi historiallisessa tilanteessa, jossa suurella kansalla tuli olla kansalliseepos, kansanhenki. Niin kansalla voisi olla myös suuri tulevaisuus. Mutta ei Lönnrot mikään härski väärentäjä ollut. Oli suurtyö olla sekä perinteenkerääjä että lahjakas editori ja sanojen keksijä. Juha Hurme korostaa, kuinka perinteen kerääminen oli tärkeää mutta samalla surullista, koska suullinen perinne ei koskaan suostu asettumaan kirjan koviin kansiin.

Meggie Moench is a Minneapolis-based musician and dancer who is excited to attend 10th Wave Chamber Collective's upcoming event “At Dusk: Outdoor Chamber Music Concert Series.”“I love listening to local live music in Minneapolis, and 10th Wave Chamber Collective is a group whose performances I always make sure to see,” Moench said.This particular concert series is extra special, she said, because it features all BIPOC, contemporary composers with a modern flair playing outside in nature.There are two concerts. The first is at 7 p.m. on Aug. 19 at Lutherie Lab (2619 Ulysses St. N.E., Minneapolis). An additional performance takes place a week later at 7 p.m. on Aug. 26 at the University Lutheran Church of Hope Courtyard (601 13th Ave. S.E., Minneapolis).Karla Grotting is a local dancer, choreographer and dance educator who says Rhythmically Speaking's event, “The Cohort,” makes jazz dance approachable and fun for any audience.“It's very legible and accessible and captures all elements like jazz music does,” Grotting said.The show runs Aug. 17-19 at the Southern Theater (1420 Washington Ave. S., Minneapolis).Amy Tervola Hultberg is an education consultant from New York Mills, who loves to see the community come together for the town's annual puppet pageant.“The children involved, the families involved, the residents involved are also very dedicated.” Hultberg said. “Children are learning how to walk on stilts … it's a true puppet experience.” The pageant tells the story of Kalevala, which is based on the Finnish national epic poem, and tells a story of creation. The community has worked on the puppets for weeks and will get to debut their own latest creation to the public at 7 p.m. on Aug. 18 at New York Mills VFW Post 3289. An additional performance will take place at noon on Aug. 19 at the Finn Creek Open Air Museum.

We find ourselves back in the pilot's seat of a certain N-1 Straighter once again, resuming our coverage of The Mandalorian, diving into Season 3 of the show tackling one episode at a time!    Tag along as we follow Din Djarin and his quest for redemption after being exiled from the Children of the Watch for removing his helmet. We see him assist the other Mandalorian in a battle with a terrifying monster, return to Nevarro to see a couple old friends , an attack from some space pirates, and a trip to Kalevala to discuss the location of the Living Waters on the planet Mandalore.   Don't miss this action packed review where Chase & Josh summarize the episode, debate important topics, share key takeaways, and discuss the roles specific characters may play in the future.   "The Creed teaches us of redemption."

Do you know the origin of iron? When did you last fall and take fright? These questions are good to keep in mind as we delve into the world of Finnish magic, where sorcerers prepare themselves for healing by standing on rocks in freezing rapids and newborn children are protected from evil spirits in the sauna by being given misleading nicknames. With us we have performance storyteller Markus Luukkonen who has, together with Mikael, made one show based on the fragmented source material of the epic Kalevala, and is in the process of creating another.

Kalevala : the Epic Poem of Finland — Volume 02

Ever wondered why we have a bunny collecting eggs at Easter? In this seasonal podcast Julia Golding and Jacob Rennaker take a crack at the long history of eggs in myths and legends, venturing from there into fantasy stories. Where can we find Humpty Dumpty, and what do Dorothy and Oz have to do with eggs? We find Tolkien and eggs scrambled together with the Kalevala and encounter plenty of other eggs within the world of Harry Potter. We also take a deep dive into the idea of the Easter bunny. What are the common themes between all of these mythical worlds and beings? And, of course, where is the best place in all the fantasy worlds to hatch from an egg?

David and John head to Coruscant in the Disney+ Original Series, Andor - whoops -The Mandalorian.

After Djarin recovers, he and Bo-Katan depart Mandalore, though Bo-Katan withholds the Mythosaur's existence from him. Upon returning to Kalevala, they are attacked by Imperial TIE squads, who destroy Bo-Katan's home, and are forced to retreat to the secret Mandalorian enclave. Djarin presents the Armorer with a sample of the Living Waters as proof of his redemption, and because she has also bathed in the Waters, Bo-Katan is welcomed to the enclave as well. On Coruscant, Dr. Pershing receives a pardon by the New Republic, but is startled to find Elia Kane among the amnesty program's recipients. Kane declares to assist Pershing in his efforts to continue his cloning research, which has been outlawed by the Republic. They sneak aboard a decommissioned Star Destroyer to steal the necessary materials, but Kane betrays Pershing to the Republic's lawkeepers and later secretly sabotages the mind-wiping procedure used on him.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

"How long is this quest gonna take?" "Oh, maybe like, an hour...hour fifteen?" Din Djarin has been seeking redemption since finding out he made a boo boo when he took his helmet off for Grogu. I mean, that's according to his den mother, affectionately known as "The Armorer" but she rules the roost with a beskar hammer and tongs. Look, I'm not SAYING Bo Katan has a thing for Din, but those looks she was giving? She is giving herself over--not to him and not to The Way, but to the purity of his cause and commitment. She also probably appreciates the respect he's been giving her since day one because that's something she's not accustomed to having lately. All I'm saying is...look, she likes him, alright? I don't know if that's "like like" or what, but that's a point of discussion in this week's episode. Also this week...how much time to exsanguinate a Mandalorian in his shiny shell? Apparently, the spider crab can't work that fast, which is a good thing for the show, unless Pedro Pascal asks for too much money on the next negotiations and then, well, see ya later Daddy Din! Oh, am I burying the lede? Well, there was this mythical beast that casually shows up in the last few moments that might mean a great deal to the future of Mandalore. What? You've never heard the tale of the mythosaur? You weren't paying attention, were you? Oh, and one thing we DIDN'T mention was saving gas money. Why exactly did Dingo to Kalevala first, then Tatooine, then BACK to the same star system? We thought he should have headed to Tatooine right after Nevarro last week, but we were proven right with the star charts this week. C'est la vie dans la Guerre des Etoiles!

Welcome to Challenge Accepted where we review the season three premiere of The Mandalorian, titled "The Apostate". In this episode, we dive into the adventure-filled world of the Mandalorian as we follow the journey of Din Djarin and Grogu navigating the galaxy and learning the ways of the Mandalorian. "The Apostate" is a much-needed palate cleanser after the duo's stint in The Book of Boba Fett. The episode is deliberately paced with some bursts of action, providing some enticing setups for the rest of the season. The sun-drenched opening sequence with the Armorer and the Tribe's helmet bestowment ceremony re-establishes the importance of a Mandalorian's oath to never remove one's helmet, underlining this year's quest. This episode offers some deep-seated philosophical quandaries at the heart of Din's desire for atonement and redemption with his clan of religious zealots vs. his clear need for connection, at least with Grogu, that's the reason he revealed his face in the first place. Hopefully, his pilgrimage to Mandalore will address these bigger questions. We also see the brief respites of Din and Grogu sitting together, providing heart-wrenching moments for fans of the series. Pedro Pascal's ability to tell a soulful story without the use of his face speaks to how great he is as an actor. The return to Nevarro and reunion with Carl Weathers' Greef Karga adds a sense of scope to Din and Grogu's journey to this point, reminding us of how much time has passed since season 1. Learning that Mando is insistent on rebuilding IG-11 is fantastic news, as the fan-favorite droid was one of the very best things about the first season. The world-building is impeccable, with attention to detail in the different droids and species we see on Nevarro, making it feel alive. Mando's starship fight with the pirates in the asteroid field is a lot of fun, letting us see his Naboo starfighter in combat for the first time. The tense meeting between Din Djarin and Bo-Katan Kryze in Kalevala keeps the story moving, as these two have some serious philosophical differences about what it means to be a Mandalorian. It's almost inevitable that they'll one day do battle not just for the Darksaber but for perceived moral high ground. Overall, "The Apostate" is a thrilling and adventurous start to the third season of The Mandalorian, and we can't wait to see where the journey takes us next.

Kalevala have a new album released this year – the seventh full-length of their career – entitled “Пляска Святого Вита.” As is typical for releases that excite me, I can't help but go through this one track by track to share my thoughts… The opening song “Гори по полной!” begins softly but quickly ramps up the pressure, especially when the accordion kicks in. All elements work together perfectly on this one – uptempo, aggressive, joyouse, and folky. Singer Ksenia Markevich is right in her comfort range here, thundering away with her clear, strong, beautiful voice. Well executed all around and with an awesome chorus that I can't help but sing along with and bang my head to… Гори по полной! The pace comes down just a notch on the second song and title track, “Пляска святого Вита.” The keys set the mood on this one while the guitars and folk instruments provide a great building mountain of metal riffs atop. Ksenia's vocals are a bit more tempered here, but even more mesmerizing. This is one I can see played live and the crowd jumping along in time to the jaunty beat. The main melody is incredibly catchy… two listens and you won't be able to rid it from your head. “Ловец змей” – the first single and video from the album – is a mid-paced rocker that gets soft on the verse, and fairly light in the chorus. Probably the most AOR-friendly track on the album. Not a bad song by any stretch, but bit cutsie in the execution for my taste. Next up is “Проснись во мне, Зверь.” This is the best of Ksenia's voice – slightly creepy/haunting in the verses and empassioned on the chorus. Great riffs from guitarist Nikita Andriyanov and another cool vocal melody from Ksenia. The violins pair perfectly with the guitar throughout this one – it might be my favorite track on the album! The keys come back strong in “Именем леса,” really raising the sonic floor and creating a quite uplifiting, mythic feel throughout. Kalevala are very skilled when it comes to songcraft, and I can't give them enough respect for the effort they make in composing these songs. Track six – “Безбожники” - relies more heavily on blunt guitar riffs to drive the song, although there's plenty of starts and stops to freshen things up along the way. I think one thing even Kalevala's harshest critics would admit is that they are able to keep plenty of variety and freshness in their song composition, even while adhering to a fairly constrained stylistic approach. “Безбожники” is followed by the pristine rocker “Сто дней.” Ksenia does a great job changing the projection of her voice to perfectly emote alongside the guitar and garmin. Speaking of, the accordian solo is a real highlight on this one! “Так долго ждать,” does a fine job of building the energy – a very nuanced, considered approach to the instruments punctuated by energized bursts of guitar and featuring another brilliant accordion lead break. A bit more of an epic feel to this one as compared to the approach on most other tracks on the album. On “Бесхвостая лиса,” the strumming ukelele intro sets the stage for an upbeat, bouncy melody. This one alternates between some light touches and shading and more aggressive elements. The tenth and final track “Сёстры бога” brings those folk instruments – particularly the violin - back to front-and-center, allowing them to lead the way while the guitars churn beneath. An upbeat rocker that provides a worthy outro. In summary, I'm giving this album a rating of 9 ½ out of ten. This is absolutely my favorite metal release to date this year, and a near lock for a spot on my list of best albums of 2023. I urge fans of Finntroll, Ensiferum, and Eluveitie to give this album and band a listen. You can get “Пляска святого Вита” digitally via Apple Music and itunes, and most of Kalevala's back discography is available from Bandcamp.com.

In this episode, Finlandia University's Associate Professor of Finnish & Nordic Studies, Dr. Hilary-Joy Virtanen, joins Finlandia Fridays to discuss an exciting conversation regarding her upcoming reading marathon of Finland's national epic, The Kalevala.

Headliner visits Helsinki's Kalevala Studios to speak with the facility's Sami Sarhamaa and engineer Pietu Korhonen to find out about the city's post production market and the trends shaping the industry.  

The young draughtsman and painter from Finland has proven his talent with narrative portraits from live model. Aiming for the Classical Greek ideal, Hjalmar Hagelstam is already well-equipped, having studied painting with Odd Nerdrum and sculpture at the Florence Academy Growing up in a country known for Sibelius and Gallen-Kallela, Hagelstam asks the following question: "Which lessons can we learn from the strange fate of 19th century Finnish painters?" As he sees it, they were rightfully concerned with Kalevala, the native, mythical epic. However their political desire to find something "national" in it, invariably led to failure. Making matters worse, influence from contemporary ideas of "progress" and styles like symbolism and impressionism only further removed their work from a truly timeless context. So what makes a universal story? And could you grip the essence of a myth by simply illustrating it?

Kalevala teki nuoreen J.R.R. Tolkieniin pysyvän vaikutuksen. Hän ammensi Kalevalasta aineksia fantasiakirjojensa hahmoihin, tapahtumiin ja kieleen. Pasi Heikura kysyy kirjallisuudentutkija ja tietokirjailija Jyrki Korpualta, löytyykö myös Lönnrotin Kalevalan takaa jokin myyttinen esikuva. Ohjelmassa selviää myös, mistä tulee langattoman yhteyden nimi: Wi-Fi. Ohjelman ovat toimittaneet Pasi Heikura ja Tina Cavén.

Hur Finland blev en del av Sverige under den tidiga medeltiden är omdiskuterat. När embryot till en svensk statsmakt utvecklas under 1200-talet blev det möjligt för svenskspråkiga att i organiserad form bosätta sig i nuvarande Finland.Vi vet att Finland omnämns första gången på svenska runstenar och i ryska krönikor från 1100-talet. Finland har skapades i en spänning mellan det som kom allt bli Sverige och Ryssland.I den nymixade reprisen av avsnitt 88 av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Martin Hårdstedt, professor i historia vid Umeå universitet.Traditionell historieskrivning bjuder att Finland inlemmades i det svenska riket genom erövringståg. Det är en historia som passar både rikssvensk och finländsk nationalism. Men det finns inga säkra belägg för att det någonsin företagits regelrätta korståg i syfte att kristna finnarna. Att tre militära operationer mot Finland utkristalliserats och upphöjts till korståg passar den medeltida propagandan för att legitimera svensk värdslig och religiös makt i nuvarande Finland.Traditionellt räknar man med tre korståg. Det första, som knappast har hänt, ska enligt traditionen ha genomförts i mitten av 1100-talet till sydvästra Finland av Erik den helige och den engelskfödde biskop Henrik av Uppsala, senare Finlands skyddshelgon. Det andra företogs 1239 till Tavastland av Birger jarl och det tredje till Karelen 1293 av marsken Torgils Knutsson.Närheten till det likaså expansiva ryska furstendömet Novgorod gjorde att kolonisationen, kristnandet och etableringen av ett svenskt välde fick en stark militär slagsida. Borgar byggdes, resningar nedkämpades och plundringståg i gränstrakterna blev närmast rutin. Liknande scenarier utspelade sig inte i medeltidens Norrland eller Småland.Musik: Vaka Vanha Vainamoinen ur Kalevala framförd av John Soininen on November 5, 1939 i BerkelyBild: En avbildning från senmedeltiden av Erik den heliges och biskop Henriks korståg till Finland.

      In this episode author Vesa Iitti guided us through a who's who of the Finnish Occult scene of the 19th through 21st centuries. He helped us understand the context of this movement and these individuals in light of the politics of the day, and Finnish national identity. We also discussed the Kalevala, the national epic of Finland, which partly inspired the works of J.R.R Tolkien.    https://www.instagram.com/lightbringers_of_the_north/ https://www.facebook.com/valonkantajatkirja

Today on Too Opinionated, we talk with David Allen Schlaefer, best-selling author of the FAR NORTH IRELAND SAGA about the hit 2nd book in his series. The Heir of Lemminkäinen – Book II Just back from the Ukraine, Schlaefer is a diplomat, author, and globetrotter who started his life in tropical south Texas at the Mexican border and wound up 10,000 miles away in the snowy wonderland of Finland. Along the way, he's lived in Hong Kong and Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro and Bucharest, Kiev and Mexico, and served alongside the 3rd Brigade Combat Team in Iraq where he won a Commander's Award for Civilian Service. David's interest in all things Finnish began at a young age when he discovered the Kalevala, the Finnish national epic, and its stories about shamans, witches, warriors, and magic. He jumped at the opportunity to work at the US Embassy in Helsinki and study Finnish language and culture for almost five years. A member of the Kalevala Society and author of articles on the influence of the Finnish language and Kalevala on JRR Tolkien's Middle-Earth, David turned to the Far Northern Land Saga to bring Finnish myths to life for a new generation of fantasy fans. THE HEIR OF LEMMINKÄINEN, Book II of The Far Northern Land Saga, continues the epic tale begun in The Mark of the Bear Clan and goes where no fantasy series has ever gone before—Finnish myth and the world of the Kalevala where legendary heroes like the wizard Väinämöinen, the warrior Lemminkäinen, and Mielikki, Lady of the Forest, mix with original characters like Ulla and Egan to create an exciting, unique mosaic wholly new to fantasy literature. Filled with traditional Finnish versions of magical creatures, races, and places, The Heir of Lemminkäinen is a fascinating ride into Finland's ancient past and an amazing start to a new, instant fantasy classic.

Upon completion of The Lord of the Rings, new readers often turn to The Silmarillion. But J.R.R. Tolkien's epic collection of mythopoeic stories—covering everything from the creation of Eä (the Ainulindalë), the Valar and Mayar, the creation of the Elves as well as the events of the First and Second Ages of Middle-earth—can be overwhelming. Thankfully, Laura Schmidt, Wade Center Archivist, joins Drs. Crystal and David C. Downing to walk us through to the larger themes and storylines of this amazing volume of stories.

Our heroes delve deep under the earth and confront the Gollum of the second self. The big question to ask in Tolkien's works is WHAT IS THE RING? Well, it is like the Ouroboros the SAMPO in Kalevala (w/Vainamoinen) the ring imagery in Nibelung the Gyges' Ring story in Plato's “Republic” We know that it is Golden (like a mini sun) Continuous (like the Ouroboros) a Treasure that Makes one invisible fits on the finger (not the neck or chest like a hauberk) formed by The Dark Lord Sauron (deception is involved & power) Is it then Related to Time? A metaphor for Seeing behind the curtain? An image of the artistic ability? Something that binds together? Perhaps an answer can be approached by asking What is The World of Gollum? · It is like the world of Grendel's dam in Beowulf · Which itself is based on the mythical world of Midgard and Yggdrasil the World Tree in Norse mythology https://www.worldhistory.org/article/1305/nine-realms-of-norse-cosmology/ https://theheart756621753.files.wordpress.com/2018/10/the-9-worlds-in-mythology.jpg What is the Character of Gollum? He is “The Swallower” His name reflects The Kabbalistic “golem” of Prague o https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golem He is a miniature of Sauron What is the nature of the Riddle Game? It is Time honored Rooted in Norse culture o https://medium.com/@erin.nord87/the-influence-of-norse-mythology-in-riddles-in-the-dark-19acb167b47b Strategic An existential test Even the Question mark is a riddle; a dragon What is The escape (the “birthday”) - from danger and from this world? Ring signifies a “seeing differently” “Born again” – “Bless us and splash us” Great good brought about after but there is the risk of the Shadow self taking over (the dragon; Sauron)
