vaarisissa

vaarisissa is a Finnish term that translates to "in the crows" or "crow-like." It is primarily used in the context of folklore and mythology, particularly in relation to the god Ukko, the Finnish god of thunder and sky. In some narratives, crows are depicted as messengers or servants of Ukko, and their presence or behavior can be interpreted as omens or signs related to his will or the weather. The term can also refer to a general sense of something being wild, untamed, or even slightly sinister, drawing on the common association of crows with darker themes in various cultures. While not a widely used term in modern Finnish, "vaarisissa" evokes a sense of ancient beliefs and the natural world’s perceived connection to the divine. Its usage is largely confined to academic discussions of Finnish mythology or creative works inspired by it.
