[QUOTE="Kalevalatar, post: 71088781, member: 116770"] [I]Pohjola[/I] refers to the place, "the Northland" or "North Farm" in [I]Kalevala[/I] as opposed to Kalevala-land, the home of the heroes and enemy of Pohjola. Thus, Pohjola indeed means northern Finland/Lapland or simply a mythical Ultima Thule. The eponymous Daughter of Pohjola is the daughter of the mistress of Pohjola, Louhi the "gap-toothed hag." A powerful witch but no moon-god. "Pohjola" is also somewhat poetic name for the Nordic countries (Pohjoismaat) and often used together with "wild" as in "Villi Pohjola," the Wild North, not unlike the Wild West. [/QUOTE]
