Tapiola is a country in Finnish mythology, subject to the god of the forest Tapio, a forest country - that is, one of the poetic names of Finland. "Tapiol" Sibelius - one of his last works - an allegory of his forest land, the embodiment of all soil, "native" and Finnish, that is, in this sense - archaic, primitive: the country of primeval forests with hidden nature life, inconspicuous and " North-faded "outwardly, but executed, if you look at (listen to) the inner secret life, in fact - the most refined and diverse. "Tapiola" is related to the imagery of the Fifth Symphony, but is like a concentrate of its most intimate. Tapiola is a quiet life of nature and a quiet anthem to the edge of Tapio, lyrical and heartfelt from everything created by Sibelius.
LUONOTAR ("nature maiden") - in Finnish mythology, the goddess-creator. At the beginning, only Luonnotar was alone in the midst of great emptiness. ” When she got tired of living in heaven, the maiden jumped into the cosmic ocean and swam through it until the eagle made a nest on her knee. Inadvertently the goddess destroyed the nest, the eggs broke. The yolks became the sun squirrel — the moon, the shell fragments turned into stars. later Luonnotar created the continents and gave birth to Väinämöinen.
UKKO - the supreme god of thunder, the owner of the sky and air, giving rain. Cancer created lunar eclipses, Väinämöinen created songs, weather at sea and successful swimming depended on Ilmarinen, Turi-sas brought victory in the battle, Kratoy took care of the property of a person, Tontu was a household. Apparently, the highest deities were heavenly - the elder Ukko and the storm god Ilmarinen.
The Finns worshiped TAPIO, the forest deity who helped the hunters. He could send loot, but he could drive a man through the forest to death. It was up to Tapio how long the game would end up in the forest, and the luck on the hunt was in the hands of Khiisi; Nirkes contributed to the hunt for squirrels, Hatavainen - for hares. Ahti, the god of waters, gave fish, but the rich catch on the net sent Veden-ema (“mother of waters”). Lecchio - the god of herbs, the roots of trees. Farmers took care of: Pellon Pe-ko - the spirit of barley, Virankaninos - the spirit of oats; Egres gave a rich harvest of beans, peas, turnips, cabbage, flax and hemp; Köndös patronized plowing.

VAYNYMAJENEN was born already old and wise, since he spent 30 years in the womb of his mother. He is considered the patron saint of Kalev's country (“the homeland of the heroes”), and Väinämöinen was endowed with amazing magical powers. However, God could not find a life partner. Joukahainen promised his sister Aino to be his wife when Väinämöinen defeated him in singing. But Aino rushed into the river, just to not marry the old man, and turned into a salmon.
LEMMINKJAYNEN - one of the main characters of Kalevala. As a child, his mother bathed him three times on a summer night and nine times autumn so that her son would gain the wisdom and gift of a singer. Forest secrets were revealed to him, he became a skillful hunter who owned magic spells. Calling for the help of the forest god Tapio, his wife - the forest hostess Meylikki and their daughter Tulikki - the goddess of the wind, he managed to catch the magical beasts of the sorcerer Hiishi. But in the grim land of the dead, where Lemminkäinen went after the swan of Tuoni, his spells were powerless.
In the dark country of Tuonela, from where almost no one came back, there lived Tuoni, the god of the dead, with his wife Tuonetar. They had seven children — deities of suffering, including Kipu-Titto, the goddess of disease. In search of magical amulets Väinämöinen visited Tuoni. Crossing the black river, he met Tuonetar, who served him a magic beer. While the guest was sleeping, the son Tuonetar set an iron lattice across the river to prevent Väinämöinen from returning home. However, the hero turned into an otter and overcame the obstacle.
