in Kalevala, he was kinda like a great wizard/sorcerer who used kantele as his tool to use spells. kalevalas story tells that väinämöinen was kind-of born from goddes and had lived before other humans... if u need more spesific information, just search from wikipedia "kalevala" ;)
@rozniy Väinämöinen is not a god persay, but he was there in the making of the world according to Finnish mythology, as can be seen in runes I and II of The Kalevala. =] He's mostly a very old and wise man who sings the reality, but his singing has nothing to do with him being a music god. He's more like the wisest but he's not really a god.
@halkalon Ah, but Väinämöinen is a god of Finnish mythology: it's just that in the Kalevala, Ilmarinen, Lemminkäinen and Väinämöinen all got a downgrade to "cultural heroes"! :D Lönnrots version of the creation of the world made Ilmatar/Luonnotar more prominent, but in the stuff he actually collected, it was Väinämöinen (after his birth) who "formed the bays and isles with his fingers", and so he was the demiurge rather than Ilmatar.
偏心？ A partial mind?

That one dislike is from the poet that got kicked by Väinämöinen on the ocean.. At least if I remember well, it was the ocean. :b

Vähän hilpeämpi versio kuin Amorphisin My Kantele :P
A little "happier" version than My Kantele by Amorphis :P
