Early modern Finland is rarely the focus of attention in the study
of European history, but it has a place in the context of northern
European religious and political culture. While Finland was
theoretically Lutheran, a religious plurality - embodied in
ceremonies and interpreted as magic - survived and flourished.
Blessing candles, pilgrimages, and offerings to forest spirits
merged with catechism hearings and sermon preaching among the lay
piety. What were the circumstances that allowed for such a
continuity of magic? How were the manifestations and experiences
that defined faith and magic tied together? How did western and
eastern religious influences manifest themselves in Finnish magic?
Faith and Magic in Early Modern Finland shows us how peripheral
Finland can shed light on the wider context of European magic and
religion.
