About This Book

A coastal Häme community in the waning era of pagan belief navigates tension between traditional rites and encroaching Christian authority. Local leaders, a respected elder and a powerful sorcerer, manage marriage alliances, protection against misfortune, and folk justice while visitors from eastern regions bring news, trade and songs. Young women and suitors, seasonal feasts and seafaring traders form the social backdrop as ritual healing, popular verse and disputes over faith reveal competing loyalties and practical accommodations between old customs and new religion.
