Ilmatar -goddess


Ilmatar – "Luonnotar" she is the Finnish goddess of air and creator of the world. She was impregnated by the east wind with Väinämöinen. It is said a bird that landed on her and laid several eggs. When she moved a little the eggs rolled off and that the earth and heavens were formed. After she molded the lands with finishing touches Väinämöinen finally came out after 7 centuries of waiting.
