The Kalevala is the national epic of Finland, a poem compiled from Nordic folklore and credited for inspiring the emerging Finnish awakening movement that ultimately led to the country’s independence from Russia in 1917. The central plot of the epic traces the journeys of the bardic hero-shaman Väinämöinen in his quest for the powerful magical mill called the Sampo, a talisman of happiness and prosperity.
