Resources (in English)
I know all too well the struggle of finding GOOD, reputable sources for Finnish folklore, mythology, and magic in English. Below is a short list of some of the best I've been able to find online as well as cultural resources for people looking to connect with Finnish-American community.
01
This site is viewable in Finnish OR English. Use the translate feature in your browser for best results. This PDF is a great starting place.
02
This wonderful neocities website gives detailed information about the regional origin of many runos, myths, and more. An amazing resource.
03
FFN is the only national Finnish-American cultural organization with chapters all over the United Stated dedicated towards sharing Finnish culture and creating community. Plus, they host virtual events and lectures!
04
My home FFN chapter where I volunteer. Not to mention we have what is probably the largest archive of Finnish-American artifacts and knowledge on the East Coast of the US!
