That's all very interesting. I read about half of the Kalevala (before I had to return it to the person I was borrowing it from), and am bummed that I never got to finish it. Mythology is fascinating.
The Kalevala is available also on the internet as a public domain e-book. If you don't mind reading it on your computer screen / Kindle, or printing a copy yourself, you can find an English translation here, and another version here: (Part I, Part 2).

Alrighty, albeit I have to amass my resources first. XD Most of the books concerning Finnish mythology exist, alas, only in Finnish (or Swedish), and I lost my link list of English texts in the previous hard disk crash.

Kiitos! Thanks for the links! I'm so excited!
And I look forward to reading your posts about mythology. :)

There's plenty to do and talk about on the Watch. Make sure you check out some of our other forums while you're avoiding Last Chronicles spoilers. :D

Hell, if any of you could hear my singing voice I'd be banned from Vespers permanently, just on principle. :lol:

Hail Ravensong! :welcome:
For Myles--
When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

For Mom--
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

Fly...fly high against the sky...
Thank you, thank you, thank God for you
The wind beneath my wings

I Never Fail To Be Astounded By The Things We Do For Promises - Ronnie James Dio (All The Fools Sailed Away)

Remember, everytime you drag someone through the mud, you're down in the mud with them

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...
It's about learning to dance in the rain

Where are we going...and... WHY are we in a handbasket?

Welcome to Kevin's Watch, RavenSong!
Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion

I'm afraid there's no denying
I'm just a dandelion
a fate I don't deserve.
