Vainamoinen the ancient sage

Vainamoinen the ancient sage

Vainamoinen is the major creature in Kalevala and that character is very similar to Merlin, the sage in the Beowulf. That means that there might be a connection between those characters, and somebody has explained that the origin of this character would be some ancient druid, who might escape the penalty, what is given when the druid would take the wrong bite of the cake. If the bite is carboned, that means that the druid was sacrificed, and some people are thinking that Vainamoinen has been druid, who escaped from ancient Denmark to Karelia, or wherever the tales about that character has come from.

But there is another explanation about that character. There is claiming that also Vainamoinen is a symbolic creature. Symbolic creature means, in this case, the character, what would be a collection of many characters could be the creature, what everybody should want to be. Or the writer of Kalevala, Elias Lonnrot wanted to be. And there is a possibility, that the people, who told those stories wanted to be like Vainamoinen.

And the thing is that other characters of Kalevala could be the incarnations of Vainamoinen. The series of the characters would be the road or advantage, what Vainamoinen would be during his training. That means that the characters are symbolizing the learning of the skills, what are the road to be the greatest of all witches or sages and magic men.

During the learning and exercises, that person would learn to make machines, tame animals and train them as servants. And lead troops in a difficult situation. The end of the line of the advantage would be Vainamoinen, the person who knew things. But there is some other kind of explanations for that character, what could live forever.

Here we should describe what living would mean? Would that character made notes and those notes would make people remain him after centuries? But there is another version of this very interesting explanation, and that explanation is that this witch would store his memory to some kind of machine. In some theories, the ancient magicians tried to save their knowledge in the magic crystals, which makes it possible to transform memories into another person.

But those things remain in theories or pseudoscience until that kind of idea has proven true by using empiric methods. And the truth is a success and try are very different things. This is one version of the topics, that Vainamoinen could be some kind of superconducting storage for electricity. That storage or machine could transform the knowhow of the people for the next generations by using cerebral cortex stimulation, where stored EEG would transfer in the straight to the brains of the person.

Sampo the magical artifact in Finnish mythology

Sampo the magical artifact in Finnish mythology

Kalevala the national epos of Finland is full of symbols. And maybe Sampo was the symbol of person or machine, what people can benefit in their life. But for benefiting that thing, they must realize the value of that thing, what seems like worthless. The thing is that the value of a thing can see when somebody can make contact with it and start to operate with it.

So if people would get benefit from the Sampo they must keep their mind open. And they should not close any things from the mind, even if they seem to be unrealistic.

Today I had an idea that for some researchers Sampo, what is mentioned in Kalevala as the mythical artifact, or celestial sphere would mean that the thing, what creates money, salt and corn. That thing has been explained in many ways, and one explanation, that is connected with UFOs is interesting. The explanation is that Sampo was the communication or data transmitting between some things, what was staying on the ground, and the Black Knight satellite.

This means that this thing could be a portable device, which would send the image from satellite to the user. And if we are thinking that the blacksmith would make that system, that could mean that this person just fixed a couple of electrodes. This is one of the most fascinating and original explanations of this thing. In this theory that device would be dropped from some kind of humanoid, but as you know that this thing is not a scientific theory. But it is a theory as well as other theories.

But there is another explanation of Sampo, and this explanation is very interesting. The thing is that Sampo could be some person, who could make those things. The thing, that is called the celestial sphere could be the curriculum vitae, and the people like Vainamoinen understood the value of that person, who might be different than others. Or that person knew where to take those things like money, salt, and corn. In this version, Sampo was the person, who had the models, what could be made for creating the faked money. And then the people were going to the marketplace and test that money with tradesmen.

And of course, another version is that Sampo created those things by using some kind of genetic manipulation and chemical reactions. But that thing is straight from some humorous book, and this is why we must be careful when we are writing about this kind of thing. The thing is that Sampo is many ways symbolic machine or artifact.

Maybe it symbolizes things like some kind of steam or water-powered hammer. If some village would have a perfect place for that kind of tool, that would mean that it could rent that machine to other people, and this would make them rich. In this scenario, Sampo is some kind of place like race, where water flows with very high speed.

And that allows it to give power to the mill or some giant hammer, which is used for creating heavier parts than a single person can. So that might mean that Sampo symbolizes the opportunity to get the benefit of something, what is original and belongs to something, what is very special and reserved to people, who have skills and abilities to see things that other people don't understand.
