@Vojak3 there were orthodox christians, but I saw pictures from the old country that they keep the totum poles and fire place to honor the gods. Carelian was very close to the nature and they have alot of shaman in their community. Christians try to convert carelians to christiany, but they just blend with orthodox.
@Vojak3 I dont recon. I'm a carelian and one thrid of finnish (if you count my mom half finnish and half carelian and my dad as a carelian) and I feel the sprits of my ancestors thorugh. Specially my granddad, who died four years before I was born, but Im talkin with them all the time. Even their are not here, so I choose a path of godness, that make my unqiue in many ways.
@Vojak3 I don’t think that there is some carelian nationalist movement. What I speak of is more spirituality way, before we spoke so many different languages. We live a world that war is a good thing. That some people thinks god exists. We need more understanding and stop this nonsense. We need open our hearts and seek our own path in life. Even some people can have a different option than me, which makes us very unique.
The lyrics of the first song are an old spell that was sung by lament singers. The spell calls for the protection of the guardian spirit and inner force of the person. Last verse goes something like this:
Arise my Nature from the deep (Natur = personal guardian spirit),
my Origin from the earth (Origin = personal protective force or guardian ancestor = "synti" or mor correctly "synty")
my Origin from the earth,
my guardian spirit from under the aspen! (haltiainen = guardian spirit)
That's definitely Sami joiker Wimme Saari joiking on that track, but Baltic-Finnic Viena Karelians also did a type of joik (check out Karoliina Kantelinen's video on YouTube), and other Finns and Baltic-Finnic peoples performed vocable chants during rituals, too. I like the cross-cultural, postmodern, neo-folk Hedningarna piece used, but I agree a Karelian tune--or simply the original audio track would be great.
Oh, please :D find CD's by Hedningarna, you're right they are absolutely Great! Both the songs, lyrics and instruments is authentically ancient. (Hedningarna = The Heathens).
Where the Karelians at this time already orthodox christians?

Shouldn't the music in the background be actual lament-singing, rather than "joiku" which is from Lapland?
