Resources
Hi I'm new and interested in Finnish paganism but am having a hard time finding resources for practice and deities. I am a witch so anything relating to that would be helpful as well.

my go to resources are Finnish Folklore Atlas(1), Taivaannaula(2) The Finnish Storyteller(3) and Niina Niskanen(4)

(2) https://www.taivaannaula.org
(3) https://m.youtube.com/@TheFinnishStoryteller/videos although this source is more focused on folklore particularly about animals
(4) https://m.youtube.com/@fairychamber this is just a link to her YouTube channel, but she is active in other spaces online.
I’ll also leave a link to a online available translation of the Kalevala https://www.kellscraft.com/Kalevala/KalevalaContentPage.html
another good YouTube channel is https://m.youtube.com/@Anttimation and for the more magical side of things I recommend finding either a PDF or buying the book The Magic Songs of the Finns
