Regarding your fake wasp nests. Theoretically, you COULD make a fuzling nest. Perhaps.

YES! Theoretically yes, absolutely! They would be super cute <3

Since spring is here, I want to bring this one out again for friendly way to keep bees and wasps away from places where you don't want them to be.

Last year I got a little wasp problem when wasps decided that my balcony's wooden ceiling would be a perfect spot for a nest. The nest apparently was never finished and I found large pieces of it on the floor but I still contacted maintenance to ask what to do.

The maintenance came to visit and didn't find any nest, so that's good. I was told that I should put a crocheted fake wasp nest on my balcony, near the spot wasps favor, because they refuse to built a nest on someone else's territory. Better yet, fill the nest with newspaper because it smells like a wasp nest.

I found some handmade nests online and I'm going to give it a try! Many of the sellers said that they and their friends and family have been using the fake nests successfully for years in home, summer cottages, outdoor buildings etc.

Here are some patterns (in English) for crafty people.

Sharing this here because I didn't even know about such a solution! I hope it helps anyone who wants to keep unwanted wasps away from certain parts of their home and yard.

Here's the book for you all! There's lots of information about Finnish, Karelian and Sami monsters for the first time ever in English. I'm a Native Finn and have used Finnish sources for the book. It has also been proofread by a native English speaker (as my own English is not perfect).

Finnish folklore is actually rather well recorded in Finnish, if you know where to look. More and more books are being published in Finnish regarding the topic. Of course, lot has been lost, too, due to Christianity and its efforts to eradicate Finnish native belief systems. For example, during a renovation of Kuopio's Tuomikirkko church, two wooden boxes with frogs were found under the church altar. They had been hid there in secrecy sometime during the mid 1800's but we have lost any records of why. It is clearly a spell of some sort, mixing together the old faith and the evangelic Lutheran faith but we don't know what was the purpose of this spell.

There's one spell book released in English called Magic Songs of The Finns. You can order it here.

The main problem is that the topic is globally so niche that there are very little books in English. I hope that I can help a little with my Nordic Monsters collection.

i know your blog says finnish grammar but honestly I have no idea who else to ask. If I wanted to learn more about Finnish mythology, what's a good place to start? I'm specifically trying to learn about Tellervo if you could help me out there.

Thanks so much :)

Sadly, there's very little sources even in finnish about finnish mythology. The christians spent over a thousand years painstakingly scrubbing out any trace or knowledge of The Old Pagan Habits of the common people, so everything that's left is a fraction of a fraction of a remnant of a trace. Researchers specialising in finnish mythology have occasionally resorted to comparing their sources with the mythologies of other peoples of common ancestry, such as Estonians, to see if there are similarities and which old details and traits were probably shared and original.

The finns didn't have a written language before the 1500s, and the first finns who could read and write in their own native languages were priests, determined to teach christian teachings to the peasants in their own language. Figuring out what old finnish folklore and mythology was really like is a lot like figuring out what dinosaurs looked like. The best we can do is look at the traces that remain and make educated guesses about it.

Is anyone else ever genuinely shocked when you find out you have an impact on someone’s life? A coworker can be like “I’ve missed seeing you” and I’m just like “???? you?? missed me????? My presence has an effect on your daily experience???? I affect things??? W h a t ? ? ?”
