In Finnish traditional belief, Väki is a rich and layered concept that blends animism, folk magic, and an older worldview where every place, element, and being carries its own power. Here’s a concise overview:Väki literally means people, folk, or crowd, but in folklore it also refers to an invisible force or collective spirit.It is both the power itself and the entities embodying that power.Finnish animistic thought sees the natural world as alive and morally charged. Different realms have their own väki:Metsän väki – the “folk of the forest,” the forest’s own living force and spirit beings.Veden väki – the power of waters, rivers, lakes, and their spirits.Tulen väki – the force of fire.Rautaväki – the spirit of iron or metal.Niina's website http://www.fairychamber.orghttps://www.instagram.com/fairychamberart/ Hosted on Acast.
