Suomen Kansan Muinaisia Loitsurunoja
1880
''Suomen Kansan Muinaisia Loitsurunoja'' is a collection of 639 ancient Finnish spell poems compiled by Elias Lönnrot and first published in 1880. This anthology features traditional incantations used for healing, protection, and divination, reflecting the rich heritage of Finnish folklore and mythology. The work includes a preface discussing the origins and significance of these spells, which were integral to the daily lives of the Finnish people. The collection was translated into English in 1896 and is notable for its historical value, as it captures a tradition that soon became extinct.
