In Kalevala, the Finnish national epic, Ilmatar was a virgin Personification of Air. Her Father was Sky, Her Mother was Primal Waters. Her name literally means "female air spirit." In Kalevala, Ilmatar is portrayed as androgynous with both male and female aspects, though she is primarily female. She was impregnated by the sea and wind and thus became the mother of Väinämöinen, the Finnish Creator of Life.

© Ashley Lebedev | Bottle Bell ™ I'm back from the edges of the Earth, just momentarily. Just long enough to post this. And it was time for a change. A blonde one. And then it goes without saying - a self portrait was in order. Sooo sooo soo much has happened over the last year. (deep life sighs) All I can really say about this image is that I don't think images like this one can be created without a significant life experience to go behind them. Self Portraiture continues to be (for me, but…

Kalevala: Martta Wendelin

Martta Wendelin (1893-1986) kuvasi korteissaan useinkin tavallista elämää sen monissa muodoissa. Kultatähkäsarjan korteissa oli pieni runonpätkä Kalevalasta tai Kantelettaresta. Näillä Kalavalakorteilla kerättiin rahaa "Tuberkuloosista toipuvien kodittomien naisten työkodin hyväksi." Sarja julkaistiin 1932 ja siitä tehtiin uusintapainoksia 1934, 1943 ja 1944. Pieni paimenpoika kutsuu karjaa koolle. Kansallispukuinen äiti pitää pientä lasta sylissään. Perhe on mennyt uimaan kallioiselle…

Akseli Gallen-Kallela, 'Aino' triptych (left-hand panel). The young Aino's first meeting with Väinämöinen. Aino has been promised in marriage to Väinämöinen since her brother, Joukahainen, lost a magic singing contest to him. Perhaps understandably, she would rather die.

The Kalevala Dress by Kirsi Neuvonen, is a playful take on the work of Akseli Gallen-Kallela (Finnish artist, 1865–1931). He deeply influenced the Finnish national identity. The dress depicted belonged to his wife, Mary Gallen-Kallela

'Louhi steals the sun' an original illustration from a series of illustrations inspired by Finnish folklore. "Louhi, hostess of Pohyola, Northland's old and toothless wizard, Makes the Sun and Moon her captives; In her arms she takes fair Luna From her cradle in the birch-tree, Calls the Sun down from his station, From the fir-tree's bending branches, Carries them to upper Northland, To the darksome Sariola; Hides the Moon, no more to glimmer, In a rock of many colors; Hides the Sun, to…
