We continue our series on the Kalevala with Runo 8 - Väinämöinen's Wound, where we read about how Väinämöinen gets distracted on his way home from Pohjola when he sees a maiden of Pohja, she makes him complete seemingly impossible challenges in order to win her hand in marriage, and Väinämöinen makes a potentially grave mistake!
