Finnish Neopaganism

So imagine you live in a land called Finland. A long, long time ago, people who lived in Finland believed in gods and spirits that they believed controlled things like the weather and crops. But as time went on, some people stopped believing in these gods and started believing in other things, like a god from another land.

But there are still some people in Finland today who believe in the old gods and spirits, and they call themselves neopagans. They believe in gods like Ukko, who controls lightning, and Tapio, who is the god of forests. They also believe in spirits that live in things like trees and rocks.

These neopagans have special ceremonies where they offer gifts to these gods and spirits, like food and drink. They also have celebrations for things like the summer solstice, which is the longest day of the year.

So Finnish neopaganism is just a way some people in Finland still believe in the old gods and spirits of their ancestors, and they have special ways of showing their respect and celebrating.
