The Kalevala: Finland's Epic of Myth, Magic, and Heroic Legend

Where runes shape reality, songs summon storms, and heroes forge destinies...

The Kalevala by Elias Lönnrot is the celebrated national epic of Finland—an extraordinary collection of mythological poems, heroic songs, and folkloric tales woven together from ancient oral tradition. Rich with Norse and Baltic mysticism, the epic follows characters like Väinämöinen, Lemminkäinen, and Kullervo through battles, quests, and cosmic struggles.
