Updates for Kultapyörä/Golden Wheel https://kultapyora.neocities.org Thu, May 7 2026 14:00 +0200 1440 Small edits: I've added maps to multiple pages on creatures, myths, and the glossary. I added images of the Northern maiden. I changed the navigation and it now has a section for "other information", in which there is a page for information about witch hunts in Finnish history. Added more resources in Finnish, English, and... Latin. I started writing about marriage in rituals, but that section is still WIP. I added Veteinen and Näkki" in creatures and Päivölä in locations. Added additional info about creation myths to the dualism page. https://kultapyora.neocities.org/index.html#7-5-2026 Wed, Apr 29 2026 14:00 +0200 Added a page for Soini in heroes, a new ballad Song of a Shaman, and new incantations related to väki, haltijat and luonto. New blog post. https://kultapyora.neocities.org/index.html#29-4-2026 Wed, Apr 29 2026 14:00 +0200 I started my own Zonelets blog for writing that I feel like don't fit the rest of this website. https://kultapyora.neocities.org/index.html#21-4-2026 Tue, Apr 21 2026 23:00 +0200 I feel like my translation quality has been poor lately, but I kind of don't care. So now there are myths for the Death of Lemminkäinen, the Song of Lemminkäinen (+ Väinämöinen's journey to Pohjola), and the Drinking Party of Saariala, as well as the ballad Sing, My Wretched Tongue, and incantation for greeting the new Moon was added to incantations (it used to only be on the rituals page). I also added Hiiden malja to the rituals page. https://kultapyora.neocities.org/index.html#12-4-2026 Sun, Apr 12 2026 23:00 +0200 I got to meet some pagans irl, I'm pretty excited so I'm telling you *heart*. Anyways, first of all in deities, we now have a page for Hyytämöinen and Lievetyinen (winter and summer). Then, I translated plenty more myths: Runosong competition against Joukahainen, The Knee Wound of Väinämöinen, The Song of Vipunen, and The Awakening of Sämpsä. I also added more "subcategories" in the myths page so you can now see all myths listed, as well as Väinämöinen myths and Saari-related myths in their own lists. https://kultapyora.neocities.org/index.html#7-4-2026 Tue, Apr 7 2026 23:00 +0200 First of all, I added more to Louhi's page: a little bit of info on her in Tavastian (Häme, Pirkanmaa) runosongs. In deities, I made a page for Kuohutar/Kosketar. In myths, I translated runosongs of the Nine diseases, The Release of the Celestial Lights, Origin of Iron, and The Forging of Ilmarinen. https://kultapyora.neocities.org/index.html#31-3-2026 Tue, Mar 31 2026 10:00 +0200 In my spirit of being slightly controversial, I combined the pages of forest god Hiisi and male Tapio. As requested, I made a page for Tursas/Turilas, but that led me to side tangents and I also added pages for Uros (mythic saviour from the sea) as well as Tiera. I also added some... anti-Nazi stuff on the front page. At first, I thought I wouldn't need to do that as Finnish pagan spaces are not filled with Nazis or such. I mean like actual pagan groups, associations, companies, what have you, they are not fascist nor do they flirt with that. However, that does seem to be a big problem with international and English-speaking circles, so I just wanted to make it clear on here that Finnish tradition does NOT fit into the mold that neo-Nazis think paganism is. Any fantasies about "glorious warriors" or whatever has no space here either, most of these traditions belong to farming peasants and not some Glorious Warrior People or whatever. https://kultapyora.neocities.org/index.html#26-3-2026 Thu, Mar 26 2026 17:00 +0200 Woohoo, this website is now listed on powRSS! I also made a webgarden for it which you can find on the info page. And I also added more links there. In deities, I added a page for "Hiisi" as he appears as forest deity and giant (it's a bit of an unclear situation). In myths, I added the Ski Hunting of the Moose of Hiisi. https://kultapyora.neocities.org/index.html#18-3-2026 Wed, Mar 18 2026 15:00 +0200 Added an additional glossary for traditional clothing (link in the glossary page). Added a page for the world pillar, Sammas, as well as tietäjä in cosmology. In deities, I added an additional essay of mine on the supposed "wife of Ukko". Oh, and also! The little info we have on Köndös is also in deities. https://kultapyora.neocities.org/index.html#10-3-2026 Tue, Mar 10 2026 22:00 +0200 Added a Glossary which I should've probably started with, lol. Added information about Saari in Locations. Added information about Juoletar in Deities. Added myths of The Island at the Center of the World and Birth of Kaleva, the ballad of the Golden Wheel Oak, and incantations for Löyly and Shrove Tuesday. Added Tuuletar/Tuuliainen and Lempo to creatures. More links in Links! Had to create a FAQ because I encountered unbelievably dumb claims on Xitter and wanted to just kinda dodge them on here from the get-go. And also made a page for photos of tietäjät from the 20th century because someone tried to tell me all the stuff I'm talking about on this site "died a thousand years ago". Really testing my patience! https://kultapyora.neocities.org/index.html#3-3-2026 Tue, Mar 3 2026 22:00 +0200 Divided runosongs into myths and ballads for now, and added translation for the ballad of Iivari Kojonen. Added a page for Joukahainen in deities and heroes, and for Rahkonen in creatures. Encountered some frustrating assumptions elsewhere so I made a FAQ section. Also added a photo of a Kallohonka to the holy sites page. https://kultapyora.neocities.org/index.html#22-2-2026 Sun, Feb 22 2026 22:00 +0200 Huge expansion on Maahiset page, added pages for Kivutar, Kaleva and Kullervo in deitties and heroes, and for Liekkiö in creatures. Additional resources linked in Links. https://kultapyora.neocities.org/index.html#15-2-2026 Sun, Feb 15 2026 22:00 +0200 Added pages for deity Aarni, and creatures Sinipiiat, Mettänneitty and Maahiset. https://kultapyora.neocities.org/index.html#5-2-2026 Thu, Feb 5 2026 22:00 +0200 Added Väinölä/Ulappala and Tapiola/Mehtola into the Locations. https://kultapyora.neocities.org/index.html#2-2-2026 Mon, Feb 2 2026 22:00 +0200 Added Väinölä/Ulappala and Tapiola/Mehtola into the Locations. https://kultapyora.neocities.org/index.html#30-1-2026 Fri, Jan 30 2026 22:00 +0200 Reworked the navigation, and added a new section for "cosmology and belief" and there two pages: "dualism" and "gender and sexuality". https://kultapyora.neocities.org/index.html#28-1-2026 Wed, Jan 28 2026 22:00 +0200 Big update here, I changed the link colours and everything so I'd be able to see something. Added a new section for locations and there, Pohjola, and added a page for Lemminkäinen. I also added a new section below that features a runosong incantation that should change every month if I got this javascript to work properly... I also added extra information on Päivätär's page. https://kultapyora.neocities.org/index.html#26-1-2026 Mon, Jan 26 2026 22:00 +0200 Added pages for Etelätär, Otavatar and Louhi. Also amendended the front page text below on request. https://kultapyora.neocities.org/index.html#19-1-2026 Mon, Jan 19 2026 22:00 +0200 Added a new section for festivals and rituals, but it's still under construction. Also added a page for Kärehetär. https://kultapyora.neocities.org/index.html#18-1-2026 Sun, Jan 18 2026 22:00 +0200 Added the page for Sämpsä Pellervoinen, as well as Mielikki and Tapio. I'm not sure if I'm satisfied with the latter and might expand on it later. Also added into on Tapionpöytä in the holy sites. https://kultapyora.neocities.org/index.html#17-1-2026 Sat, Jan 17 2026 22:00 +0200 Added the page for Väinämöinen which was a lot of workkkkkk so I'm sure I'm missing something and will need to add later! Also added new images for Päivätär, Kuutar, and Vellamo and Ahti. https://kultapyora.neocities.org Thu, Jan 15 2026 22:00 +0200 Added more names for Syöjätär Ajattara as I knew I had missed some, and likely will add more later. Added pages for Maatar and Suonetar in deities. https://kultapyora.neocities.org Mon, Jan 12 2026 22:00 +0200 Added pages for Ilmarinen and Kavet in deities, plus added a new link in navigation for "laws" such as things Väinämöinen prohibits in runosongs. https://kultapyora.neocities.org Fri, Jan 9 2026 22:00 +0200 Added info about Väinämöinen's secret son, Juonetar, Vento and Runkateivas, and Sanervatar.

I have added a section for site info and links to resources, another page of info about Ukko Virankannos, as well as additional explanations of the regional pages at the bottom of this page. https://kultapyora.neocities.org Wed, Dec 31 2025 22:00 +0200 Added pages for the sons and daughters (mostly just explaining Lemmetär though) of the Underworld. I also made an RSS feed for the site. https://kultapyora.neocities.org Mon, Dec 29 2025 22:00 +0200 New page for symbols added. https://kultapyora.neocities.org Sun, Dec 28 2025 22:00 +0200
