oylmpians:moodboard: mielikki↦ Mielikki is the Finnish goddess of forests and the hunt. In a country where the forest was central to providing food through hunting, gathering and cattle grazing, it was thought very important to stay on her good side. She is also offered prayers by those who hunt small game and those who gather mushrooms and berries. Mielikki is known as a skillful healer who heals the paws of animals who have escaped traps, helps chicks that have fallen from their nests and she is said to have played a central role in the creation of the bear.. She knows well the healing herbs and will also help humans if they know well enough to ask her for it. Her name is derived from the old Finnish word mielu which means luck.requested by @itwouldbeajoytobringyoutea -- source link
