Welcome to the 88th episode of the Science Witch Podcast!
In this episode, Anjel gets to have a wonderful conversation with author and teacher Niina Niskanen on Finnish Witchcraft. In this discussion, we talk about Finnish mythology, how it is very anamistic, and goddesses who have been continually worshipped for 10000 years. We touch on the importance of saunas in spirituality in Finnish Culture as well as some of the important plants and animals in Finnish Folklore. Niina’s book will be available for preorder in December of 2026 and hosts classes on Finnish Witchcraft on her Patreon.
