I will be presenting at the Fates and Graces Mythologium on Friday, July 28 at 2:00 PM. My presentation is called “The Forest as Cultural Heart of Estonians.”
The Mushroom King from Estonian Folklore
In Estonian folklore, the forest forms an integral cultural theme that serves as an anchor for “Estonianness,” culture creation, and nation building as outlined by Atko Remmel and Tõnno Jonuks. However, due to historical and linguistic challenges, Estonian folklore has been underrepresented in mythology studies in the USA. Read more here.
There are three days of amazing presentations by mythologists from around the globe. Registration to stream the event live closes on July 25th.
