Have you considered starting a thread about Finnish traditions? If I understand correctly, it's a very different cultural/linguistic mix from the Norse/Germanic, outside of Taigan's list. I would love to learn more about the gods and traditions involved, especially since it's harder to find books about here.

Sorry, but I'm not very knowledged about it really. :/ I mean, I do know a lot about Finnish (pre-Christian) history and the traditions (studied ethnology etc.), something about Finnish shamanism, folklore, spells, gods etc. but my knowledge about the belief system in its entirety isn't that good. Most of the things I know are based on what my friends who practice the old religion have told.
Maybe Arrow could do it better as she actually follows the path.
