Also want to take time to remember Ian Curtis of Joy Division, who also passed away on this day, in 1980. ❤️

Despite the overwhelmingly widespread portrayal as a gloomy mysterioso, Ian Curtis is known to have had a great sense of humor & was fun company. Despite what the photographs show, he smiled a lot.

Instincts that can still betray us,

A journey that leads to the sun,

Soulless and bent on destruction,

A struggle between right and wrong.

You take my place in the showdown,

I'll observe with a pitiful eye,

I'd humbly ask for forgiveness,

A request well beyond you and I.

Heart and soul, one will burn.

Heart and soul, one will burn.

An abyss that laughs at creation,

A circus complete with all fools,

Foundations that lasted the ages,

Then ripped apart at their roots.

Beyond all this good is the terror,

The grip of a mercenary hand,

When savagery turns all good reason,

There's no turning back, no last stand.

Heart and soul, one will burn.

Heart and soul, one will burn.

Existence well what does it matter?

I exist on the best terms I can.

The past is now part of my future,

The present is well out of hand.

The present is well out of hand.

Heart and soul, one will burn.

Heart and soul, one will burn.

One will burn, one will burn.

Heart and soul, one will burn.

Tulen morsian - English title: "The Devil's Bride" is a Finnish historical drama film released in 2016. It was directed by Saara Cantell and is based on the historical treatise of the same name written by the Finnish author, Leena Virtanen.

The film is set in the late 17th century and revolves around the life of Anna, a young woman living in a small Finnish village. Anna is accused of being a witch and is forced to confront the prejudices and superstitions of her time. The story delves into themes of oppression, religious intolerance, and the power dynamics between men and women during that era.

It is perhaps the most accurate historical film presenting witch processes as they were (but there is a lot of fiction too). The Movie and this podcast are based on Academical research of the subject and yet it is exiting and revealing. (Watch the video clip below)

*The first trials in Sweden-Finland influenced by Diabolism took place on the Swedish speaking island, Ahvenanmaa (Åland) situated between Sweden and Finland (1666) - map below.

*The judge of Ahvenanmaa Nils Psilander acted on his own initiative, and supposedly believed to have based his actions on the most modern information of the time - as he did, indeed.

*In the theoretical part I will sum up things from the psychoanalytical viewpoint. We are in the middle of the crisis now - learn what can happen to people’s mind in crisis. (The Audio Part was made during COVID-19)

My podcast series about Witches in Finland and witch films is coming to an end. It is time to remember the victims of these Witch processes.

There were about 1,200 trials in Finland in which the crime was witchcraft or sorcery - about 150 death sentences. It is not known how many of them were released in the Court of Appeal. Of the more than a thousand people accused in 1620-1700, more than half were men. In Åland, those sentenced to death (in 1666 - 1668) were all women.

Åland

A yellow roe deer stands on a blue background. Orginaly was originally granted to the similar-sounding province "Öland" of a red deer on a blue field. When Åland was to Swedish queen dowager Katarina Stenbock as a feif in 1569 it was awarded a coat of arms of two roe deer facing each other with 9 roses surrounding them. Theese arms where often confused early on, Öland's arms where reported as åland's. The switch up was not discovered until the 1940s. The heraldry authorities decided to give ölands deer a red collar and attire to distinguish the two.
