Finnish Neopaganism, or the
Finnish native faith (: "Finnish Faith") is the contemporary
Neopagan revival of
Finnish paganism, the pre-Christian
polytheistic ethnic religion of the
Finns. A precursor movement was the
Ukonusko ("Ukko's Faith", revolving around the god
Ukko) of the early 20th century. The main problem in the revival of Finnish paganism is the nature of pre-Christian Finnish culture, which relied on oral tradition and of which very little is left. The primary sources concerning Finnish native culture are written by latter-era Christians. They may be biased, tainted or unreliable. The national epic is the
Kalevala.
