As a Finn, I'm so happy to see Finnish stuff, be it mythology or history, covered on this channel. The tale continues roughly like this: Väinämöinen and Ilmarinen later set out to retrieve the Sampo. Väinämöinen sings a song that puts the people of Pohjola asleep, but once Louhi wakes up, she's furious to see the Sampo gone. She casts various spells in an attempt to stop the heroes, even transforming herself into a giant bird. Ultimately, the Sampo itself shatters into pieces, but Väinämöinen uses some of the shards that washed ashore to grant people some prosperity for their crop fields. This is just a brief summary, likely getting some details wrong, but that's how this story continues.

fun fact the Finnish myth for the northern lights is also beautiful once upon a time before the time of humans the god of the moon wanted to light up the night sky so he called the animals of the world to become constellations. a mother bear and her cub where the first to ascend when it came to the last animal the moon god saw a little fox and didn't want him to be lonely so he braided his tail with blades of grass and ice and told him to race his friends like he usually did which Is why the northern lights still shine to this very day

It's not a variant. It's canon. It happened after Ilmarinen got pissed off for not getting Rainbow Maiden. He and Väinämöinen stole Sampo from Louhi. Louhi of course didn't like this and raided their boat. In the middle of the battle Sampo fell into the bottom of the sea.

True. But then again sometimes I wonder what is his true ability? I mean, yes, Sampo is "invented" as there is no one knows what a Sampo should be, it's a novel Artifact at that time. But throwing stuff inside, do nothing else, and pulling stuff like it's a loot box and hoping it'll give you good results? I remembered Kalevala from Uncle Scrooge Adventures, and I always thought that Ilmarinen is indeed has godlike Ability and godlike imagination to be able to create Sampo. But after seeing this... Creating Sampo in his case, is more of pure luck, good conditioning and good relationship with the four winds, rather than skills. He didn't even hammer or tamper that thing even once while it's in the process, or think what it should be. Anything out of that furnace can be called Sampo, and no one can complain, IMHO, since Sampo is a non existent thing before he created it. LOL.

​@@ferretyluv Tolkien learnt Finnish (not an easy language) just to read original Kalevala. One version of Tolkien's elvish is obviously based on Finnish language, with same words. Gandalf is same angel demi god like being like Väinämöinen was. Odin was more distant god that was worshipped and given sacrifices (sometimes hanged humans). Väinämöinen was a wise and powerful wizard/Tietäjä ("one who knows things"), a figure you could seek out for advice, but don't worship or give sacrifices to. Väinämöinen collected others to his adventures and was not all knowing. Väinämöinen is literally called the "grey one" (Harmaahapsi). ... In the character of Gandalf, Tolkien clearly was influenced more by Finnish folklore, not Odin from Norse myths.

So later he and some other men went and stole the Sampo back. But that war trip did not go according to plan. I let you dear readers find about it yoursleves, because the Story of Kalevale, is one amazing tale to read.

It's actually an antiheroic story, Louhi legally owns Sampo and they go to steal it. Their reason for the theft is that Sampo brings prosperity and well-being only to the North, while the rest of the world suffers from withering and barrenness at the same time and if they go to steal Sampo from Louhi, they will get good and the North will suffer. But while Väinämöinen, Imarinen and the others are on their way back home, Louhi catches the thieves, they start fighting and as a result Sampo breaks down and falls into the sea, so no one can catch Sampo and all the seas becomes salty.

​​@@hullutsuhna​ In several non-Kalevala poems, Iku-Turso (or Turilas, or Tursas, or Tuuri, or Tuura) is also a different/parallel name for Äijö and Kaleva who have generally been regarded more as deities than as cryptic or mythical sea monsters. It has also been said to be Väinämöinen's father. But these are the things that Elias Lönnrot edited out when he wrote and harmonized the Kalevala. (Plus the Agricola's List of Gods also mentions the Hämäläinen war god Turisas who gave victory in war.)

There was also a detail of those items and Sampo itself, being made from materials like swan feathers and so forth, I believe. Also the 'golden maiden', which Ilmarinen also created, a metallic woman for a wife of his own, who she ultimately rejected the smith god, for she did not have a heart to requite that love for him and requested to be thrown back into the fire. You could technically read her as a robot.

This reminded me of a movie I saw as a child, I couldn't recall what it was called, and that it was a 'foreign' film so was also dubbed over in English. But after a short search on IMDB, the movie 'Sampo' came up and a the images were pretty bang on from my memories. The Sampo in this case was forged as payment for a sister being taken hostage. The hero then attempts to recover his people's treasure but the Sampo is destroyed in the escape. But a small portion of it remained in the hero's possession and was used to light the night sky while the hero went to rescue his sister again from the witch. The smith in turn forged a 'golden' harp string to string a musical instrument that was played to mesmerise the witch's forces and kept them from fighting.... Don't ask how I can recall so much info, but I also recalled that the movie was a Finnish film, even back then....

Oh to see the day when Extra Credits makes a Mythology series on Kalevala and a History series on Mannerheim (or someone, but personally I think Mannerheim has the wildest stories)

A mythology where a maiden has autonomy and a say in her marriage partner (without ending in tragedy for her)! Heck yeah!

If YOU know what a Sampo is, write it on a piece of paper, throw it away and then try not to think about it. You'll be glad you did! SAMPO!

"Hey boss, how come you are pulling wooden bows and boats from a forge, won't that stuff burn ?" "I'm just that good" "Also, why burn the magic cow ? Smithing is hard work, couldn't you invent the barbecue instead ?" "No, that will distract me from this quest for my waifu's hand in marriage"

Which just goes to show how ancient people viewed metallurgy. There was no theoretical science behind it, so nobody really knew why metalwork sometimes turned out good, sometimes bad, and once in a rare while, awesomely good. High-end smiths were literally seen as wizards, or as what we'd think of as alchemists.

My father's lineage comes from the hills outside of Helsinki, hence our surname. I'd love to see more of these, maybe a telling of the Kalevala.

That's some pretty impressive pronunciation of Finnish! Apart from Pohjola (Poh-jo-la) but definitely close enough!

I've heard of the Sampo because it's part of the plot of The Day The Earth Froze, as featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000.

A portrayal of Ilmarinen and depiction of selected tales from the Kalevala can be found in the 1959 movie Sampo (film).

The version I heard, years ago, was that the Sampo took orders to make anything, but was locked away because it couldn't be told to stop making.
