ENT_FINN_LOUHI Louhi   Finnish shamanistic mistress of Pohjola Adversarial Being magic; shamanism; the North; Pohjola; cold; shape-shifting; obstruction       A           Mistress of Pohjola (the Far North, "the place of darkness"); the primary antagonist of the Kalevala. Louhi is a powerful shamanistic figure — "the gap-toothed crone of Pohjola" in Lönnrot's text — who controls the resources of the North and drives the Kalevala's main plot conflicts. Väinämöinen and Ilmarinen must negotiate with her for brides and for the Sampo (a magical mill that generates wealth); she demands the construction of the Sampo as bride-price (Runos 5-8, 10-11). When the heroes steal the Sampo back, Louhi pursues them as a great eagle-hawk and destroys the Sampo in the conflict (Runos 42-49). She can also spread plague and disease, and she steals the sun and moon, locking them in the mountain of Pohjola (Runo 47-49). Louhi is not a simple evil figure — she is a legitimate authority in her own domain, a mother protecting her daughters, and a formidable equal to Väinämöinen in magical power. As an adversarial shamanistic ruler she represents the hostile wilderness north of the Finnish homeland. Pentikäinen (1999) pp. 220-260. hero
