The Finnish pantheon is a rich and diverse collection of gods and goddesses that have been worshipped by the Finnish people for centuries. These deities were believed to have control over various aspects of life such as nature, fertility, war, and death.

One of the most important gods in the Finnish pantheon is Ukko, also known as the sky god. He was considered to be the ruler of the heavens and was responsible for weather phenomena such as thunderstorms. Another important deity is Ahti or Ahto, who was the god of water and fishing. He was often depicted as a merman with a fish tail.

In addition to these major gods, there were also many other deities that were worshipped by the Finnish people. For example, there was Tapio who was the god of forests and hunting; Mielikki who was Tapio’s wife and goddess of forests; Ilmarinen who was the god of smithing; Väinämöinen who was a hero-god associated with poetry and music; Lemminkäinen who was a hero-god associated with war; Louhi who was a powerful sorceress; Kullervo who was an ill-fated hero; Hiisi who were malevolent spirits or demons.

These gods and goddesses were often invoked in prayers and rituals to seek their blessings or protection. They played an important role in shaping the beliefs and practices of Finnish society.
