Ilmatar (also known as Luonnotar) was the goddess of the air in Finnish mythology. Her story goes that after 700 years of only knowing primal waters and sky she descended. When she woke she found a bird had landed on her lap that felt safe enough to lay seven eggs. Six were gold and one made of iron. As the bird was incubating its eggs, Ilmatar’s lap started to warm up until it was burning. Out of reflex, she moved her leg, which dislodged the eggs from their nest of flesh. They fell and shattered in the waters, amniotic cradle of the world. The bottom of the eggshells formed the land while the top formed the sky. The white of the eggs created the Moon and the stars while the yolks became the Sun. Ilmatar continued to float for a few hundred years admiring the spectacle of her creation. Then, an urge to create popped again. Everything she touched came to life. Each of her moves was a silent incantation to life. Her footprints became pools for fish, and simply by pointing out with her finger, she created the contours of the land. Impregnated by the water, she gave birth to the first man, called Väinämöinen.(Marchesa Fall 2016 Ready-to-Wear Collection) -- source link
