| Otsikko: | Excellent book on Finnic bear cult |
| Arvostelu: | There is not a whole lot of litterature on Finnic mythology and old folk beliefs in English. In addition to In The Footsteps of The Bear (Clive Tolley, ed.) and Mythic Images and Shamanism: A Perspective on Kalevala Poetry (Anna-Leena Siikala), this book represents a must-have English language text for anyone interested in the subject matter.
Juha Pentikäinen (born 1940) is a professor in the Department of Comparative Religion at the University of Helsinki. His work on the Finno-Ugric (Uralic) bear cult is widely regarded as central analysis on the subject. This book is highly recommended. |
