Ukko is the god of the sky, weather (especially thunder), and the harvest in Finnish paganism. Though often invoked in myths, he rarely appears. Modern sources often call Ukko the king of the gods, though that may be a mistake caused by comparing him to the Greek god Zeus. Robert Ekman

Nice local elections result in #Finland indeed!
And my candidate got through, for the first time! Yeehaa. Congrats, Paco Diop!
Relating: when checking the results, I noticed that my party Vasemmistoliitto (”The #Left Union") has the highest amount of immigrants in the new city council group. Both percentage-wise and in absolute numbers: three. This either a) is great news or b) tells something about latent #racism in #Finland.
I ’ll pick a) for now.
Europe’s new war with Russia: Deep sea sabotage
Suspicious Russian tankers keep slashing Europe's internet and power cables. It's not an act of war … but someday it might be.

This #Finnish #tradition is called #virpominen. It means that #children dress as witches and knock at neighbours' doors while carrying salix tree branches decorated with colourful feathers and crêpe paper. They pronounce a blessing rhyme and leave a branch as gift, while receiving sweets in return. "I'm wishing you a fresh, healthy upcoming year, a branch for you, a reward for me!" #easter #palmsunday #finland #suomimastodon
