its kind of funny that Finnish word for cold, but not extremely cold weather is "koleata".
Logan Howard
You forgot the top-dog of the Finnish pantheon, the first and foremost God that finns worship: Sven
Hudson Wilson
honestly kalevala is one of the most interesting reads I've ever had
Ryan Taylor
I want a sverige dick shoved up my throat
Jason Hill
>Runkkateus
Justin Ortiz
it's also related to the Roman Kalendae and the lithuanian Kaledu - Christmas
also perkele is related to Perun

Yeah, he's worshipped at DTM.
Josiah Ross
Rauno, Ahti, Ilmar are all common names here.

Why are so many Finnic deities taken from Indo-Europeans? Seems a bit odd that these ancient Finnics would be so willing to worship foreign gods.
Hunter Baker
>Seems a bit odd that these ancient Finnics would be so willing to worship foreign gods. Only weird if you a Vargtard, cultures were always in exchange and influenced each other. Some Greek gods may be Assyrian ones, or how Rome incorporated Deities from conqoured folks.
Nathaniel Edwards
I suppose Finns took Indo-European deities somewhere between 2000 years ago to 1000 years ago and worshipped even older Finnish deities 2000 - 6000 years ago
Joseph Smith
which of them is indo european except Thurisaz?
Sebastian Taylor
The "Tavastian god list" was made by a 16th century clergyman trying to fit Finnish nature spirits into an Indo-European style pantheon. Of course Finnic people had been influenced by their neighbors before that and Ukko for example is pretty clearly a thunder god imported from Balts and Scandicucks.
op just compared their functions to some other deities, that doesn't mean they are borrowed
Landon Lewis
Those ones are, though.
Caleb James
Nope.
Mason Cooper
First you'd need to prove that they are originally indo-european deities which is almost impossible.
Robert Wood

Jaxon Moore
There are no sources surviving from the time Finland was actually pagan so they're probably made up.
Michael Barnes
Ukko = Perkele?
Lincoln Johnson
LOL WOT, in eastern finland there is recorded worship until the 19th centure.
Are you dumb or something.
Ryder Phillips
>he demands a scientific study from the academy of grugology from 10 AD
What is oral tradition?
Nathaniel Thomas
Some keeping some folk elements alive =/= paganism being alive.
Ryan Perry
No but 12th century or so around the time you were getting Christianized would be good enough.
Joshua Walker
What paganism was very much alive.
Have ever even read a history book about finland in finnish? Doubts.
Blake Brown
>Odin >God of thunder ???
Andrew Williams
>What is oral tradition? Something that survives around 3 generations until it gets "dilluted". Should have written stuff down.
Connor Murphy
Shut the fuck up retard, paganism wasn't alive in 19th century nowhere in Europe other than maybe some fucking Saami shit nomads up in north who hadn't seen civilized world. As I said people being superstitious and keeping folk tradition somewhat alive doesn't equal it to being full blown uninterrupted paganism before Christianization.
Connor Ross
You know so little about the history of finnish kainuu and lapland, sami/finnish peoples that you should just shut up. Why are you raging about things that you have no idea about?
Fucking balts I swear, get an education.
Eli Rodriguez
And you seem to think some oral tradition and folk sayings equal it to being paganism. If so you could fucking argue most of Europe was pagan until relatively recent times. That's like saying everyone is pagan in Europe because they celebrate midsummer's eve. Or that some hags in country side who keep grass snakes as pets in their because it brings good luck as pagans.
You're a retard.
Thomas Kelly
>other than maybe some fucking Saami shit nomads up in north nah we forced them to convert to christianity very early, they are still religious as fuck
Chase Baker
Forgot your original God before you got Sven'd. Tenggeri
Chase Jones
west slavic: Svantevit/Svetovid - god of 4 sides of the world, supreme diety Chernobog/Chernoglav - black god, black headed - underworld Rugievit- unknown Porevit- unknown Porenut - Perun? Marzanna/Morana - godess of winter Dziewanna - related to the Roman Diana Jarilo - god of vegetation, fertility and springtime Jarovit/Gerovit/Davor -god of war
Easton Collins
All I have to say now is: read a book. Might be a new concept for your little baltic brain but try it.
Christianity mostly was a "civic enforced duty" and every big town/ village would have these christian overseers and mandatory church ceremonies but the reality was wildly different in everyday life.
Get a grip now. Stop with the flaming.
Benjamin Ortiz
>that flag >this post very nice
Aiden Foster
So far you've presented no arguments to support your claim about paganism being well and alive in 19th century other hurr durr read a book. Burden of proof is on you, not me, to prove that paganism was alive in 19th century Finland.
Angel Nelson
>but the reality was wildly different in everyday life. t. Varg
Isaiah Scott
And where is that god from whom the word "Perkele" then went? I'm not wrong anywhere?
Ryder Roberts
Only after the reformation and the bible being translated to finnish ( ultimately creating written finnish) was it that the faith was born. Atleast up until that and mostly well after it also church was just a "duty". People would show up piss drunk and sleep at church. There was a person that had the job of hitting the people who were loud or nodding of to sleep.
It had very little to do with actual religion. The religion practiced was paganism.
Like why won't you read a book, christianity was just colonial rule not something internalized and practiced by the people.
Luis Anderson
Perkele comes from baltic Perkunas which comes from slavic Perun. some think that it's the same as Ukko.
Kevin Martinez
The church ceremonies were also in latin. This meaning that the people could only look at the paintings and stuff to feel scared but they knew nothing about the concepts of god etc. christianity has.
Jack Flores
Taara is the only god by the way.
Andrew Rogers
Why would Perkunas come from Perun when Balts are an older people than Slavonoids?
Gavin Edwards
Good question and following why would perkele come from perkunas when finns are older than the balts?
Camden Howard
>Perkele comes from baltic Perkunas which comes from slavic Perun.
No it doesn't retardo. Perkūnas comes from PIE Perkwunos not Slavic Perun, letter K didn't appear magically out of nowhere.
Perun is from a different root.
So basically as everywhere else. There are recordings of some peasants holdings festivities to Ukko as late as 17th century but that's about it. Finland wasn't pagan in 19th century.
Brandon Ward

Finns are Iron age population.
Angel Edwards
All people were created from Nords
Luis Thompson
The whole of finland ofcourse wasn't I've never said that. I said that paganism was alive and practiced up until the 19th century which is true.
Both with the sami and in the kainuu/koillismaa regions of Finland.
Don't get into arguments with people that actually know what they talk about kid.
Brandon Flores
So are Lithuanians
Joseph Turner
LOL now this is rich coming from a baltti. Why don't you just go home now and leave the debates to the adults?
Joseph Carter
Wrong.
Bronze age Balts are genetically the same as modern Balts.
While population of Finland well into medieval times didn't even resemble Finns.
> The Finnish population has long been a subject of interest for the fields of medical and population genetics, due to its isolation-affected genetic structure and the associated unique set of inherited diseases. Recent advances in ancient DNA techniques now enable the in-depth investigation of Finland's demographic past: the impact of migrations, trade and altering livelihood practices. Here we analyse genome-wide data from over 30 individuals, representing ten archaeological burial sites from southern Finland, that span from the 5th to 19th century. We find the historical individuals to differ genetically from Finns today. Comparing them with surrounding ancient and modern populations, we detect a transition from genotypes generally connected with prehistoric hunter-gatherers, and specifically resembling those of the contemporary Saami people, into a more East-Central European composition, associated with the established agricultural lifestyle. Starting from the Iron Age and continuing through the Early Medieval period, this transition dates remarkably late compared to the respective changes in most regions of Europe. Our results suggest a population shift, presumably related to Baltic and Slavic influences, also manifested in the archaeological record of the local artefacts from the late Iron Age. Our observations also agree with the archaeological models of relatively recent and gradual adoption of farming in Finland.
There's also no haplogroup N found until Iron Age.
>I said that paganism was alive and practiced up until the 19th century which is true.
It isn't, no matter how much larp it won't make i true. Some anecdotal evidence that Church sermons were held in Latin as it pretty much everywhere before Protestantism doesn't equal it to being proof that population was pagan.
Henry Lopez
>Bronze age Balts are genetically the same as modern Balts. Nope. They had higher WHG. Maybe there's more continuity than with Finland from 500 BC but you're still a recent mix. BA Lithunian natives also didn't have haplogroup N.
Adrian Lee
Slovenian mythology Nikrmana - the supreme goddess, which created everything Velika Mati - Mother earth Kresnik - the god of fire Vesna - godess of Spring Belin - god of light and health Kurent - dionysus Triglav - three headed god

nobody cares about slavshit """"mythology"""" lmao
Parker Sullivan
>tfw literally no record of Hungarian paganism >tfw this means that we were Christians from the begining Jesus rules
Nathan Green
You are just rambling now. Go back to the library and study a bit. I recommend looking into the village life of kainuu and lapland in the 15-19th century for starters.
You obviously have no idea of what you trying to talk about. Especially starting with the desperate haplo shit.
Vitun baltit, aina yhtä tyhmiä. Miniryssiä, sama kansa eri kieli heillä.
This is actually true somewhat. Look at the start of "kaupang" its literally finnish people starting a kauppapaikka which then became kaupunki, and further diluted kaupang.
Justin Cruz
Could someone please give me a basic chronology of Finnic + Sami migrations into the Baltic region? From what I understand Samis began expanding into Finland from around 1000 BC and then Finnics moved into the Gulf of Finland region in the Iron Age before moving into Finland around the turn of the millenium.
t. needs this information for something I'm doing
Carter Fisher
And Swedes in Finland are home because Finland was founded by Swedes
Adrian Evans
Sure you are. Sure you are. Pretty educated with imaginary baltic culture and stuff you seem. Nice. Thumbs up for you.
Gabriel Morris
That's Larping Sames. We only have two or three pagan stories, if they are real pagan stories. Most written records says that "and those pagans did pagan stuff." All Hungarian paganism is larping as Turkic pagans.
Also the majority of pagan stuff were recorded by Christian scholars, who were educated in Chritian and Greco-Roman mithologies. So I firmly believe that they just wrote fanfiction based on Roman and Jewish gods.
Isaiah Gray
Wot? Are you drunk now? Have ever read a book even?
Anthony Howard
That's roughly correct but there's similarities in archeological culture between Finland and Estonia(axes and pottery) before the accepted date of Finnish language arrival to Finland from Estonia so even if present day Finnish has later origins in Estonia it doesn't mean there wasn't a Baltic Finnic presence early on.
Xavier Cruz
And for example.
Baltic_IA ancestry N haplogroup, from 3-5th century Lithuania.
Baltic_BA_Turlojiske,94.6 Latvia_MN,5.4
If you replace Baltic_BA with modern Lithuania.
Lithuanian,92.2 Latvia_MN,7.8
Virtually same shit. Well within modern variance and difference of a few % in populations.
Here we go with the schizo balt. He is in to the haplogroups!
LOL
Luke Parker
Thanks
Nathan Campbell
It's true and you know it
Isaiah Evans
isn't it the opposite? before hungarians were considered to be turkic, but nowadays the finno ugric theory is benig pushed for politiacl reasons?
Nathaniel Thomas
Do you have anything to add other than butthurt?
Baltic-Finnic population probably appeared in Estonia with the Tarand graves in Estonia in Iron age and from there it spread to Finland. There's an upcoming study from Estonians coming about Tarand graves, they already said they found earliest N among them.
Liam Price
They are filthy turks mixed with slavshits just like other b*Lkanese
Ethan Johnson
are baltic peoples R1a settlers who mixed with the N1c natives?
R1a appeared here earlier with the Corded Ware culture around 2900BC. N1c arrived in Lithuania/Latvia specifcally probably after 0AD as it's not found here before. In Estonia/Finland probably starting around Late Bronze/Iron Age.
Ryder Nelson
Odin created Swedes, and Swedes created the rest.
Jaxon Mitchell
Why are Christians so butthurt
Ryan Foster
What ever makes you feel nice then. I see that you are one those people that disregard actual evidence and construct theories just to suit their needs.
Good luck with your endeavours m8, but the truth of things is already much research and plain. Sami and the finns can be considered indegenous, they came much much before any lithuanian language or people was even born. For this we have tons of evidence.
Wyatt Martinez
Wrong. Only Swedes, Norwegians and Danes are indigenous to the North.
Dominic Rodriguez
>. Sami and the finns can be considered indegenous, they came much much before any lithuanian language or people was even born. For this we have tons of evidence.
Topcringe. How come you speak an Indo-European language then?
Brayden Gonzalez
I mean, rural Christianity was pretty folklore as well. There were people who believed Jesus was Väinämöinen's son lol
Luke Bennett
People can adopt a language.
Aaron Morgan
Hahaha no the delinquents where sent north from germany which is your homeland. You are in the same language group too. Its pretty obvious that you came in later on.
Eli Diaz
xaxaxaxaxa
Isaac Cook
What ever makes you sleep at night but the facts are at my side.
Baltic culture is later than finnic, for this we have actual objects and burial mounds to prove.
