Finn Magic Woman

By Sini Sysimetsä

This absurd yet true story reflects the pagan flight and balancing act of a wild native Finnish woman between the visible and the invisible over 17 years, complete with clogs, a sheepskin, a leather backpack, a dash of humour and a sense of adventure.

When the conditions are just right for it, the magic of nature pops the inner springs into a cosmic transformation and self-initiated movements, manifested in the universe as the simple beauty of existence.

She believes that there is a tiny mystic native space traveller, the star of the Circus of Life, living inside each one of us.

It is a question of whether we identify ourselves with the limited essence of the finite human body, or whether we elevate ourselves to the eternally free and fiery soul living above it, above the constraints of the mind and the material world. Sysimetsä's stories are based strongly on her own life and experiences.

Finn

Truth, heroic tales, and all of history itself is usually heard from the mouths of conquerors and brutes. Real black magic, complete with its spiritual witch-burnings, is still rife wherever the truth cannot stand the light of day.

The word The Finn is associated with many different meanings, but the most common is white. As a name, it also seen as a symbol of fairness, strength, courage, and bravery due to its mythical pagan roots.

"My research indicates that everything essential originates from a magical box. When the conditions are just right for it, the magic of nature stirs an initial explosion, which seeks a way out by all possible and impossible means. Some go crazy, others follow their vision to the world outside.

Now I shall tell my own little tale..."

There was a tiny cottage with a low ceiling and square windows, which seemed as if it was gradually sinking into the ground. Outside the cottage reigned the wild reality of space. I used to slip barefoot across the yard at dusk and climb onto an apple tree branch to watch things unfold, to sit with a big steaming teapot in my hands and the moon as my companion, my hair fluttering, wondering at the strange twists and turns of my life and the cosmic nocturnal movements of Moon Mountain.

The tree held me and I the tree, as if we were carved from the same piece of wood. I as if I was safely at home, yet at the same time safely on my travels, floating above the Earth’s crust. My friend was also carved from the same piece of wood. He too could fly. It was actually he who had taught me to fly.

This can happen when you end up following a creature who in no way appears to suit the urban landscape, let alone a natural phenomenon known as gravity. I had set off following a dark, long-haired, colourful-looking guy. We had first met when I was 16. The creature called me his winged one.
