 The Ancient Religion of the Finns — Virtual Finland
The unlettered culture of the Finnish people was for the historians of the ancient world a complete terra incognita until Tacitus, in the year 98 AD, mentioned in his Germania a people called the Fenni, living somewhere in the northeastern Baltic region "in unparallelled squalor and poverty".
The northern area referred to by Tacitus was at that time already inhabited by peoples of various ethnic and historical origin, and it is questionable whether the barbarians of whom he spoke were in fact the forefathers of the present Finns or the Lapps.
The basis of folk material on Finnish mythology and worldview is to be found in the old Finnish poems.

In the Spring of 1841, Margaret Fuller (1810-50) assembled a circle of friends to converse on the subject of mythology (although the original intent of these conversations had been to answer the questions "What were we born to do?" and "How shall we do it?").

To understand this Mythology, we must denationalize ourselves, and throw the mind back to the consideration of Greek Art, Literature, and Poesy.

 Terra Cotta Three Piece Bench, 19" tall
Terra Cotta in Italian means: “baked earth”, literally, any kind of fired clay but, in general usage, a kind of object—e.g., vessel, figure, or structural form—made from fairly coarse, porous clay that when fired assumes a colour ranging from dull ochre to red and usually is left unglazed.
Much Roman architecture is decorated with relief themes from mythology, especially of Dionysus and his revellers.
The use of terra-cotta for all purposes virtually died out between the end of the Roman Empire and the 14th century; in 15th-century Italy and Germany it appeared again, either molded or carved, and in its natural colour as friezes, moldings, or inset medallions decorating buildings.
