While Finland was theoretically Lutheran, a religious plurality – embodied in ceremonies and interpreted as magic – survived and flourished. Blessing candles, pilgrimages, and offerings to forest spirits merged with catechism hearings and sermon preaching among the lay piety. What were the circumstances that allowed for such a continuity of magic? How were the manifestations and experiences that defined faith and magic tied together? How did western and eastern religious influences manifest themselves in Finnish magic? Faith and Magic in Early Modern Finland shows us how peripheral Finland can shed light on the wider context of European magic and religion.Palgrave Historical Studies in Witchcraft and MagicHistory, ModernEurope—HistoryReligion—HistorySocial historyModern Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/713000European Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717000History of Religionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A7000Social Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/724000FinlandReligionHistory, Modern.Europe—History.Religion—History.Social history.Modern History.European History.History of Religion.Social History.274.897/07Toivo Raisa Mariaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut894505BOOK9910254780403321Faith and Magic in Early Modern Finland1998304UNINA
