| Summary | "Kuvaelmia itä-suomalaisten vanhoista tavoista 5: Kesäaskareet" by Johannes Häyhä is a cultural and historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the traditional summer activities and rituals associated with farming and rural life in East Finland, shedding light on the customs and practices that defined the community's seasonal cycles. It serves as a valuable document reflecting the agricultural lifestyle and spiritual beliefs of the region. The opening of this work introduces the reader to the customs surrounding the onset of the summer farming season, particularly focusing on "Touonalkajaiset", a festival marking the beginning of agricultural activities. We witness the preparations of the villagers, including discussions about the optimal timing for starting their farming practices, rituals performed to ensure the health of livestock, and various prayers and blessings dedicated to their crops and animals. The narrative is rich in detail regarding communal gatherings, the significance of lunar cycles, and the symbolic actions taken to invoke a bountiful harvest. Through these rituals, Häyhä paints a vivid picture of the interconnection between the people, their environment, and the spiritual beliefs that guide their lives.
