Rapaire ... I recently learned that the "Rosicrucian" philosophy, or perhaps it's a religion, I don't know which, was taken largely from the Kalavala. I haven't researched this, but I intend to soon. I'm curious as to the spin! And Yes, Longfellow used the rythmn and the cadence of the poetry from the Kalavala for his piece "Hiawatha."   CHEERS, Bob
