We’re back to covering Finnish mythology via the Kalevala! This time, adapting “rune 2” where all sorts of pyrotechnical shenanigans ensue, including talking animals, a fire-breathing walrus, and beer! It’s all just as nonsensical as you’d come to expect from a video on this channel!

Some footnotes: Just like with parts 1 and 2, the primary sources I used in this video were the Kojiki and Nihongi. It may have seemed like I was throwing a bit of shade at Tsukiyomi in this video, that’s not to say I don’t like him as a mythological figure. It’s just… he actually does nothing for the entire era of the mythos we’re going to be covering in this video. Some of the more learned amongst you may have an objection to this, but let me just tell you, whatever you’re about to say in the comments in based on a lie fabricated by early Imperial Japan, as we’ll be exploring in part three. Don’t worry, part 3 is already recorded and undergoing editing. I do have to make an incredibly small correction though, in this video I stated that Amaterasu was the older sister of Susanoo, however, later on in the Kojiki, Susanoo introduces himself as the elder brother of Amaterasu (and I guess subsequently Tsukiyomi?) Technically though, they are triplets and born literally seconds apart. The reason I thought Amaterasu was the eldest child of Izanagi was because in most accounts, it describes him washing out his right eye first, then the left, then the nose. Knowing what we do now, I guess the order goes, the nose, the right eye, and then the left? It also just made more sense to me that she would be born first for Izanagi to give her jurisdiction over the sun while Tsukiyomi and Susanoo get stuck with the moon and the storms respectively. Now, I realize that I also referred to Susanoo as a Hitorigami in this video, which may not be correct, as one of my sources describes Hitorigami as asexually produced Gods, while another states that the Gods in question must also be genderless to fit this criteria. If anyone is actually an expert in Shintoism, let me know down in the comments if this is an accurate description for Susanoo, Amaterasu and Tsukiyomi given how they came into being. That being said, there’s really not much more to note here, as this is one of the most famous mythological stories in Shintoism, and since it takes place pretty much immediately after the Izanagi and Izanami arc, I figured I’d lump it and the next major myth (which also takes place immediately afterwards) into a three-parter. (Even though this basically means parts 2 and 3 are at the view count of Part 1’s mercy) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk%3ATsukuyomi-no-Mikoto http://www.sacred-texts.com/shi/kj/kj021.htm https://www.ancient.eu/Amaterasu/ https://archive.org/details/nihongichronicl00astogoog/page/n66 White, T.-A.
