Episode 9: The Sacred Grove | Libretto Short Stories

from Chronicles from the Lake Ladoga Shores · host Libretto Orchestra

At Kauppala stood an ancient tuomi tree where people brought first milk and first grain for generations, feeding the sacred spirits and honoring the old ways. Then a drunken man from Jaakkima cut down the holy tree, and the curse fell upon him before the year ended. Enter the world of sacred groves and blessed stones, where reciprocity with the more-than-human world was not superstition but survival, and desecration brought swift consequences.🎵 Libretto Orchestra Music Albums: Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube🌐 libretto.fi#folktales #folkfore #KarelianFolklore #laatokka #LakeLadoga #laatokankansantaruja  #KansantarujaLaatokanluoteisrannikolta #TheodorSchwindt
