Other topics include shapeshifting, the runes, charms, talismans, amulets, the Finnish festivals of the year and how they are celebrated, how to honor ancestors, and much more.

Tucked up under the Arctic Circle in northern Europe lies the lake-strewn land of Finland. Sturdily independent today, Finland has fought forty-two wars with Russia and lost every one. Finnish, a language like no other, has emerged intact from six centuries of Swedish rule. Both of these accomplishments are directly attributable to the Finnish people's long-cherished sense of national identity. "Of Finnish Ways" is a sometimes amusing, sometimes heartbreaking tale of what makes a Finn a Finn.

Finnish American Rag Rugs is about rag rug culture and the role of rag weaving in Finnish America. In a larger sense, it is also a study of how a craft can persist over centuries, reinforcing the culture, attitudes, behaviors, beliefs, and values of an immigrant group that retains a strong sense of its ethnic identity.     Finnish American Rag Rugs provides a history of Finnish immigration to and settlement in Michigan's Upper Peninsula alongside an examination of the tradition of rag weaving in the United States and the Nordic region. Although many other immigrants have a tradition of making rag rugs, Finnish Americans are one of the few groups to have maintained the culture of rag weaving since their immigration. In the process of studying this one activity of one ethnic group, the author uncovers new information about both the history of a ubiquitous form of fiber art and the beliefs and values of an understudied ethnic group. Illustrated with more than 200 color photos, Finnish American Rag Rugs is both informative and beautiful.
