Now, I think it was Christianity that arrived to Finland from West through Sweden. If the spruce approved him, he was free to settle next to the tree and use it as his guide and advisor. For example, when a young man left his childhood home to find himself a place to built his own house onto, he needed to ask a permission from a spruce before building the house. Animals and plants are our sister and brothers, so Finnish people didn’t differ themselves from the nature. Everyone and everything is equal to each other. Se means it.įinnish native faith and worldview is polytheistic and shamanistic. Except that hän isn’t even originally Finnish pronoun.

The ones existing, the ones gone, the ones becoming. There’s no way to tell the gender of ANYONE unless someone specifically underlines it by some other gendered word like boy, girl, man, woman, uncle, aunt etc. WELL THIS IS ACTUALLY A REALLY FUNNY TOPIC IN MY CASE AND NEEDS A LONGER EXPLANATION.
