@mnk756 Andrus Kivirähk's book is meant as a joke, actually. In reality, according to the actual Estonian ancient religion Estonians believed that elves and spirits usually took the form of an animal (house guarding spirit/elf took the form of a snake) and gave practical advice to Estonians non-verbally. Then they had to sacrifice to the spirits/elves. Ussisõnad in actual folklore is actually just a chant/spell. Read Oskar Loorits' "Eesti Rahvausundi maailmavaade" if you want to know more.

@Takukasable

I just began to try to read Andrus Kivirähk's "Mees, kes teadis ussisõnu" in estonian, and if I understood correctly, "ussisõnad" was some kind of ancient language that men used to command animals to their will. Some kind of mythological concept in folklore? I guess its not so narrow idea, but thats at least one meaning behind "ussisõnad"? It seems pretty logical now that Metsatöll has a song about it.

@mnk756

Its not easy to explain, actually they does not mean nothing.

[mnk756]

Isnt "ussisõnad" literally translated as "snake words"? I have wondered what does the term or concept of "ussisõnad" actually mean in estonian culture? Could someone from Estonia explain it?

Tervitused Soomest!
