Finnish Mythology: Origin Of The Seal

Reading Elias Lönrrot's "magic songs of the Finns. Best enjoyed using earphones. The material is educational and can be also used in literal research. In Finnish mythology these origin poems were used to explain the creation of things, birth of animals, events in nature and in lives of humans. They are a beautiful way to connect with our past and learn about the lives of those before us.
