Vainamoinen the ancient sage

Vainamoinen the ancient sage

Vainamoinen is the major creature in Kalevala and that character is very similar to Merlin, the sage in the Beowulf. That means that there might be a connection between those characters, and somebody has explained that the origin of this character would be some ancient druid, who might escape the penalty, what is given when the druid would take the wrong bite of the cake. If the bite is carboned, that means that the druid was sacrificed, and some people are thinking that Vainamoinen has been druid, who escaped from ancient Denmark to Karelia, or wherever the tales about that character has come from.

But there is another explanation about that character. There is claiming that also Vainamoinen is a symbolic creature. Symbolic creature means, in this case, the character, what would be a collection of many characters could be the creature, what everybody should want to be. Or the writer of Kalevala, Elias Lonnrot wanted to be. And there is a possibility, that the people, who told those stories wanted to be like Vainamoinen.

And the thing is that other characters of Kalevala could be the incarnations of Vainamoinen. The series of the characters would be the road or advantage, what Vainamoinen would be during his training. That means that the characters are symbolizing the learning of the skills, what are the road to be the greatest of all witches or sages and magic men.

During the learning and exercises, that person would learn to make machines, tame animals and train them as servants. And lead troops in a difficult situation. The end of the line of the advantage would be Vainamoinen, the person who knew things. But there is some other kind of explanations for that character, what could live forever.

Here we should describe what living would mean? Would that character made notes and those notes would make people remain him after centuries? But there is another version of this very interesting explanation, and that explanation is that this witch would store his memory to some kind of machine. In some theories, the ancient magicians tried to save their knowledge in the magic crystals, which makes it possible to transform memories into another person.

But those things remain in theories or pseudoscience until that kind of idea has proven true by using empiric methods. And the truth is a success and try are very different things. This is one version of the topics, that Vainamoinen could be some kind of superconducting storage for electricity. That storage or machine could transform the knowhow of the people for the next generations by using cerebral cortex stimulation, where stored EEG would transfer in the straight to the brains of the person.
