>>13417034>Are they known for telekinesis at all?Not that I know of.
>What are their practices like? I'm guessing lots of sense concentration exercises, one pointedness, and deep relaxation, and maybe some kind of cultivation of life-force/prana? What else?Until a century ago, it was believed that the words of spells have the power to heal and destroy, lift up spirits, and cast out devils. Every Finnish village had a healer who knew, among other things, “blood closure words” to stop the bleeding. Some of the spells were more ordinary and used in everyday life from animal husbandry to pain relief.
When man has wanted to control supernatural forces and influence the course of events, the power of the word has been taken to help.
Professor Anna-Leena Siikala, who studied spells, writes in her book “Finnish Shamanism” how the words used in spells were believed to have a real connection to their subject. Words about supernatural phenomena or beings had the power of their object, that is, the people. The recounting of intense deeds and events also made those events topical again.
One of the oldest recorded Finnish spells is the spell of fire uttered by the Karelian poet Petri Shemeika (1821 / 1825–1915). Finnish folk musicologist, composer and journalist Armas Launis recorded it with a phonograph in 1905.
