    About Me I am an eclectic solitary Wicca. I am interested in all kind of myths, but especially interested I am in the Celtic, Norse, Egyptian and Creek mythology, as well as our own ancient beliefs here in Finland. If you´d like to get a some idea about Finnish mythology I strongly recommend you to read Kalevala, our national epic. I am very curious minded and love to study and learn new things!

    Announcement to all my friends!

    Friday, August 24, 2007, 03:20 PM EET [General]

    Hi! I am really sorry, that I have not been around here lately and have not answered to your comments and messages. The thing is, that unfortunately my own Net connection is off-line for the time being, and so I must totally rely on the public Net computers, so I cannot be here on-line so much as before nor as much I would like to. I just want you all to know that I have not forgotten you, and I try to answer to you whenever possible.

    Have a really nice end of this summer and comming autumn!

    Blessed Be!

    The Middle-earth Radio

    Wednesday, July 25, 2007, 02:46 AM EET [Music]

    I have found a great Net Radio which plays Tolkien music: http://www.middle-earthradio.com/

    Unfortunately I just found out that this station is currently off-line, but I do hope that if will be back on-line soon!

    There you can listen to various kind of music, the "harder" styles such as Heavy Metal, and the "softer" styles such as Folk and New Age, and other radio broadcasts such as audio books and recordings of Tolkien himself. I myself love the most the "softer" streams. There you can listen to all the music of the Trilogy movie soundtracks, the music composed by Howard Shore, and many other interesting artists and their music inspired by the Middle-earth. For example a little speeches by Christopher Lee reading some Tolkien poetry from the books, which I really love.

    "A Elbereth Gilthoniel, silivren penna míriel o menel aglar elenath! Na-chaered palan-díriel o galadhremmin ennorath, Fanuilos, le linnathon nef aear, sí nef aearon!"

    "Elen síla lúmenn´ omentielvo!" - "A star shines on the hour of our meeting!"

    "Nai tiruvantel ar varyuvantel i Valar tielyanna nu vilya!" - "May the Valar protect you on your path under the sky!"

    Rölli - The Finnish Troll

    Wednesday, July 18, 2007, 03:18 PM EET [General]

      This is our beloved Finnish Troll called RÖLLI. He belongs to the wicked trolls called Rölli and wants to very much to be just like them, an evil wicked Rölli. But unfortunately - or rather luckily - he quite does not succeed in this. In the reality, he is quite charming, intelligent and even good. Which is rather a naughty word for the Rölli Trolls.

    And our Rölli the Troll has many very interesting friends. He belongs to a society called "The Weird Creatures", in Finnish "Omituisten otusten kerho". 

      He even falls in love with a good Wood Sprite called Milli, who belongs to the Tribe of the Spirits of the Wood. They are rather gnomish-like wood fairies.

      These pictures are from the movie "Rölli and the Wood Sprite" in Finnish "Rölli ja metsänhenki". It is a fairy-tale and fantasy story for children and child-minded people. "Rölli the Troll " appeared first as a childern´s TV show, and the show and the character are really very famous and popular in Finland. There are many casettes and CDs of the Rölli Songs sung by the character figure Rölli and also many of his adventures are on tapes and discs, too. The actor of our Rölli is Allu Tuppurainen, a Finnish man who is originally from my home county, Savo, but has since moved on.

    EDIT:

      P.S. This story about the trollish Rölli and his love Milli the Wood Spirit reminds me of another Finnish fairy-tale named "Pessi and Illusia". And in my mind the best way to tell the story of Pessi and Illusia is a beautiful and melancholic old Finnish Song, sung by Tapio Rautavaara and composed and lyrics by Reino Helismaa, named in Finnish "Päivänsäde ja Menninkäinen" and translated in English as "Ray of Day and Spirit of Night".

    Luckily after a search I found this song´s lyrics also in English, probably translated by a Finnish artist called Apulanta, for your delight and benefit ;-) Here you are:

    Ray of day and spirit of night

    When the sun finished her tour, one of her sisters lingered around:
    the last Ray of Day.
    Twilight crawled into the forest; golden-winged Ray of Day
    was just going to flee in front of it,
    when she saw little Spirit of Night coming toward her;
    who had just gotten up out of his cave.
    You see, Spirit of Night can, before the end of day,
    never set foot above the ground.

    They looked at each other. Spirit of Night, in his chest
    felt a warm glow.
    Said: "You're burning my eyes, but, in my life,
    I have never seen anything as wonderful!
    What does it matter, though your shine blinds me;
    it's good living in the dark.
    Come with me, then I'll show you the way to my home cave,
    and take you there as my lover."

    Ray said: "My dear troll, darkness takes my soul away,
    and I don't desire death.
    Away I have to go quickly; if I don't soon fly toward the light,
    I can not live any moment longer!"
    Thus left beautiful Ray of Day, but still,
    while Spirit of Night walks in the dark,
    he thinks: "Why is here one a child of the light,
    and loves the other the night?"

    I have also once played a role of a Wood Spirit named "Blueberry" in a LARP - a live-action-role-playing game - based on the world of the Rölli. It was real fun! To play to be in reality a fantasy fairy-tale figure, a Wood Spirit, and to immerse myself for a moment into fantasy world, all safely.

    And here in the end, some links for your interest:
