Alive

Ey. Still alive. I was momentarily disrupted by the earthquakes. Ended up in Armenia for several weeks with no wifi. Back in Tbilisi now. Anyway, during my no wifi time, I took up a lot of writing again....but not Hetalia. I got back into my old stupid DBZ crap. I wasn’t going to link these two accounts at all because I was kinda embarrassed about it, and then I suddenly realized out of nowhere that I would fess up to someone about being in the DBZ fandom a million times over before I fessed up to being in the Hetalia fandom. (obvs no offense, my dudes) Therefore...if any of you by chance happen to be into that, here’s my other tumblr and AO3. I don’t know if I’ll get back into Hetalia, as after finishing up my last few big stories I kinda lost all interest again, alas. You know how it is. It comes and goes.

Idk if any of y’all read Dragon Ball fanfic, but if you do I highly recommend this one. It’s a wip and the author usually updates at least once a week. And it’s sooo fucking heartbreaking in the best way, like I reread it from ch 1 every time it updates and the hurt just never seems to stop.

It’s called Lines on a Page by Sieluintu and the description I got for you is Goku and friends decide to violate Vegetas trust and basically live out his life in first person POV to figure out why he’s wasting away and discover that that, surprise surprise, the life of a child soldier is not sunshine and rainbows.

Sielulintu - Soul Bird

Sielulintu ‘Soul Bird’ is a very important part of Uralic folklore and mythology. Birds in general have been seen as signs, sometimes about death, sometimes something else. Sielulintu however, is a different kind of bird than our typical birds; it carries a soul on it’s breast or sometimes, it is a soul in bird form. This kind of folklore about this bird is found all over in Finno-Ugric and Uralic tradition.

In Finnish tradition, when the soul of a human leaves the mortal body, it takes the form of a bird. This soul was the Ruumissielu ‘Body Soul’, which left the body after death. These birds are called soul birds, whom travel north, to the Alinen ‘a place under’. It was believed that Alinen was a place somewhere in the north and that the dead lived there. The wandering of the soul birds was seen as a light ring in the sky, the Milky Way (in Finnish Linnunrata ‘way of the bird’).

Sielulintu is also the name of Sugri ry’s web newspaper. Sugri is the student organization of students who study Finno-Ugric languages at University of Turku, in Finland.

Junior Studio I/Winter 2017 Part One: My art/project board and progress in my first Junior Studio class which is a study of the medium of pastels in themselves and also working towards a development of three final pieces that will be visual development for a previous short story I posted called “Sielulintu” (which you can scroll down to see or find in my Archives). Above is a picture of my process board and then pastel drawings I did at a figure workshop to start getting practice in with pastels. These were done using the “blocking in” or “massive” approach which was new for me.

"In Karelia there was an ancient belief in the Sielulintu or Soul bird. It was believed the Sielulintu protected a person's soul at its most vulnerable when dreaming. It was tradition to keep a carved wooden bird by the bedside to keep the soul safe during sleep.

Well, there's Kullannuppu, which means gold bud, Kullanmuru which means gold crum, Kultalintu which means golden bird, some also use Sielilintu which means soul bird, which in Finnish/Karelian paganism is a protector of sorts, basically the job of a Sielulintu is to keep you safe when you're at your most vurnable, v cute imo

Lots of gold related things so far lmao

Rakas, which means loved, Pulu which means pidgeon, Sydänkäpy which means heart pine cone

The funniest is probably Herkkupeppu which means delicacy butt.

I-

I'm going to call Mammon all of these now, EVERY SINGLE ONE.

And the last one, Herkkupeppu, imma tease Mammon with the name!!!

These are all so adorable and cute, I-

#obey me

[belphesnore]

I'm just gonna put this in English cuz idk how well google translate handles long things but hello, is I, finnish anon

I just wish to tell thee of cute nicknames

Kulta= gold, kullannuppu= golden flower bud, kultalintu= golden bird, sielulintu= soul bird, pupu= bunny, rakas= love/loved, kulta rakas= gold beloved/golden beloved(gold beloved is direct but golden beloved sound nicer lmao)

Them there's herkkupeppu which is, delicasy butt

Basically, lots of things to do w/ gold, Mammon would be in Heaven, or, well, Hell, I guess??

Sould bird is v nice due to it's origin, because it's a mythical bird that protects you when you're most vurnable so it's just very sweet imo

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS SO SWEET and honestly all pretty spot on for mammon 🥺

#i love this #finnish anon #asks

[laceymorganwrites]

Also not to be Finnish as hell but I'm just lowkey thinking about callin Killer a "Sielulintu" as a nickname, and when he finally ask what the fuck is means I can explain the fuckin symbolism or whatever you wanna call it

But basically a Sielulintu is like this fuckin. Bird thing that watches over you where you're soul is most vurnable (which would be sleeping according to Finnish/Karelian mythos)

It's like a craved wooden bird you'd put near your bed and if I'm right, basically beats the shit out of any evil spirits trynna fuck you over

Just v cute imo

okay but this is really cute

I love lore and myth stuff, you definitely have to tell me more about that!!

Finally finished! Detailed explanation of the symbolism below. Thank you again to @korpinsulkatmi for the course I had a joy to partake in! Painting this drum was also a practice to accept imperfections in one’s own creations. When my first mistake happened, I wanted to cry; I had failed, the drum was ruined. But I persisted, and, as I continued painting, I realized that the wobbly lines, the crooked circles, the asymmetrical elements - they were not failiures. They simply became part of the whole and gave it its uniqueness, the human touch. It was a weirdly healing experience, and I am glad to call this drum mine. • Symbolism, which is heavily based on Finno-Ugric myths, folklore, folk religion, and traditions: The world is divided into three layers: Ylinen, Alinen and Keskinen. The three worlds are connected by the world tree and three rivers: Elämänvirta (river of life), Tuonenvirta (river of death), and Linnunrata (river of birds). At the top is Taivaannaula (Sky Nail) or Pohjantähti (Polar star), which holds Taivaankansi (Skylid) and Elämänpuu (Tree of Life) in place. In Ylinen is also Lintukoto (Birdhome), which houses all the sielulintu (soulbirds) and Lady Iro, goddess of life. Kuutar (moon goddess) and Päivätär (sun goddess) shine in Ylinen as well. The Wolf and Reindeer are important to me, personally. The Bear is the primordial foreparent of humans, and descended from the heavens to Keskinen. There is a sielulintu bringing a soul to a newborn, and a sielulintu taking the soul of the dead. In Alinen, there is Kipuvuori (Pain Montain), another anchor to the world tree. It is also where all diseases and pains are sent to. The dead roam Alinen until they are reincarnated or ascend. • #shamanism #drum #shamandrum #kannus #finnougric #finnougricmythology https://www.instagram.com/p/CDT9ZqNnNNI/?igshid=11rh5wqfk2ygg

Omens in Finnish folklore

So it happened one time in Jyväskylä, that a capercaillie flew to sit at the rooftop of a church and in no time, the priest of the church died suddenly. The next year died another priest, and soon enough the whole church burned down.

Omens have always played a big part in people’s lives, be they good or bad. Dog days (fin. mätäkuu, literally rot-moon) are still considered an ill time to perform any surgeries and if one gets a cut during the period it’s clear that the wound will take longer to heal. Old habits die hard?

So here’s a deep dive into omens and premonitions in Finnish folklore. Enjoy!

Martaat – animals as death omens

“Häviöksi pyy talossa, metsot miesten kuolemaksi” (A loss in a home is a hazel hen, a capercaillie the death of men.)

Marras was usually a wild animal or game behaving out of the ordinary; passing through someone’s yard or trying to come into a house. The line between one’s home and the wilderness was a very distinctive one and once it was broken, it was certain that something bad was about to occur.

If one was out fishing and a fish then just jumped to the boat, it was definitely a marras, since life wasn’t supposed to be easy and good things that come without having to work for them can only be bad omens.

Here are some examples of martaat:

redstart & nightjar: news of someone’s death would soon be heard

wild animal on the yard: news of someone’s death would be heard

wild animal in the house: death in the household

death of a horse: the man of the house would die soon after

death of a cow: the matron of the house would die soon after

chicken running off to the woods: someone of the household would die

forest grouse on the yard: someone of the household would die

black grouse on the roof: a very bad omen, disease or death in the household

woodpecker pecking the walls: very bad, disease or death in the household

a bird flying into the house: definite death for someone in the household

a bird flying to the window: if it dies, death, if it suffers, disease

a mouse eating someone’s clothes: the owner of the clothing would die

bugs or rodents appearing in the house: certainly death in the household

hadrobregmus pertinax: also known as the deathwatch beetle, makes a sound like a ticking clock, which meant death for someone in the household

hearing an owl: drowning

In fact, most birds were seen as bad omens or bringers of death rather than as good omens. All black birds, ravens and crows, were always death omens. It was also commonly believed that everyone had a sort of a soul-bird, sielulintu, that would come in to the house to take away the spirit of the dying person. Some might also see the sielulintu as the manifestation of the dying person’s free soul (fin. vapaasielu), which is already passing on to the next world, even though the body is not yet dead. This ties in with the three soul -concept, where one can lose their soul in more than one way.

Death omens

The gathering of kalmanväki (folk of death, the dead) around someone was a certain sign of death. Kalmanväki were the anonymous dead, those who had been deceased for so long that all signs of their living selves were gone and they were now a part of this bigger whole, kalmanväki. Other names for kalmanväki were keijukaiset (fairies) and menninkäiset (pixies.) They brought with them the reek of corpses and rot, they could manifest as vague spirits or f.ex as a swarm of flies.

During the turning points of the seasons, when the world of the living and the world beyond were closest to each other, one might easily spot death omens. If one went out during Christmas night and walked counterclockwise around the house three times and then looked inside, the people to die before next Christmas would look headless.

Bird omens

“Kuu kiurusta kesään, puoli kuuta peipposesta, västäräkistä vähäsen, pääskysestä ei päivääkään” (One moon to summer from a lark, half a moon from a finch, a little still from a wagtail, zero from a swallow.)

Birds were seen as bringers of omens most likely due to their ability to fly and travel “unseen” to the world beyond. Birds could be seen as manifestations of dead loved ones, their acting and singing could be interpreted to bring about good or bad luck, a birth or a death.

A wagtail was a sign of good luck or upcoming fortune, a raven or a crow bringing an object to one’s house would also bring good luck. A starling stood as a sign for a fire, after seeing it one had to wash their eyes to shake away the effect. A redstart flying under a cow’s belly would turn the milk into blood. (To undo this, the bird would need to fly the same path in reverse.)

It was also very typical to think that seeing a bird on a certain time of day would ruin the rest of it, so birdwatching was not a common hobby. A magpie in the morning would bring about disease or illness, to hear migratory birds (swallow, lark, crane, cuckoo) singing in the spring morning before eating anything would ruin the whole summer for the one who heard the song. This ruin would stick to the person and then spread around with them. If they were to sow a field it would dry and bear no crop. They might also lose all luck in love. The most problematic thing about being ruined by a bad bird omen was that it could only be removed by seeing a good bird omen (and remember, there weren’t many.)

A way to protect oneself from the effects of these bad omens was to throw a somersault so that your back touched the ground or to bite on an alder tree, which was thought to be one of the most powerful trees due to it’s bloodlike colouring. The best way to spare oneself of the ill effect of bird omens was simply to eat the first thing in the morning. Breakfast is important!

Migratory birds were an important factor in foretelling. Following the migration was a good way to measure the seasons, and the weather the birds brought along would tell of the coming harvest season.

Other omens

Huunpurema, huu: a bruise that appears for no apparent reason, meant someone close to you would die

spider: luck with sheep herding would end if one killed a spider, otherwise just seeing a spider meant good luck

arguing while fishing: no luck in fishing, this effect might stretch on for a whole generation

a cat rubbing it’s eyes: female guests were to be expected

a cat licking it’s butt: male guests were to be expected

a cat gazing out a window: a storm was coming

a dog howling in the direction of a house: someone in the house would die

a dog howling towards the sky: a fire would come

a strand of hay in a pig’s mouth: bad weather

dropping a bread buttered side down: guests were coming

cutting bread so that it crumbles: an argument was arising

finding a six or four leaf clover: good luck, better keep that safe, or eat it in order to gain it’s power

finding a five leaf clover: oh dear, bad luck

wearing a piece of clothing the wrong way around: good luck

snatching a strand of hay from a woodpecker’s nest: congratulations, you are now a master of picking locks and can break and enter anywhere!

What sort of omens do you know of? I would very much like to hear them! Also do tell me if you think I have missed something here. Beware of bad omens!
