Filed under: The Quests — Leave a comment

June 7, 2025

At last i am in a position to continue with the quest posts and to relive the wonderful experiences i have had. So time to regroup my personal army and to start sharing with you all again. I hope that many of you will learn and start to wonder about what life really is all about and will pick up the clues that Karl and myself leave for you. I am very much still learning myself but my, what an amazing journey my earthly one has been so far… April 2025

DAY SEVENTEEN: THURSDAY 25th April: Sagalund Museum: The official blurb for the museum is that it is a large open air museum founded in 1900 and is Finland’s first open air museum. Set in large grounds, a kind of garden setting in Kimito, there is quite a lot of walking to do between buildings. and exhibits. However it was winter when we visited so most of it was closed and in a strange way that was to our advantage, for it was one of the most strangest and weirdest places i have ever visited and i i loved it!

Most of the museum was closed apart from the shop and a section upstairs that the guy in the shop said we could visit. The whole place seemed to be set in another time line and the guy in the shop himself kept coming and going, as if he was drifting in and out of time, completely disappearing and then reappearing. But upstairs was another story entirely, for it was a cross between an ancient set of a supernatural movie and a historical tableau. There were certainly presences around and nothing was quite what it seemed to be. Eyes watching from places they should not have been, a feeling of being in another dimension altogether and seeing figures that did not see us. Whatever was happening there it was both an enjoyable and strange experience and i was so glad to be there! The whole place was drifting in another time….

So after that experience we had a lovely little break in a nearby cafe, although i must say that the whole area had a kind of ‘feel’ about it!

Tenola Church: After coffee and lunch we visited Tenola church nearby Tenala but sadly we could not get inside. It was a pretty looking church from the outside and look charming in the photos. The first record of Tenhola parish church is from the year 1329, and this medieval stone church was built in 1460. It has a richly furnished interior, so a shame we could not get inside. It has a crucifix from 1470, a 14th century trumphal cross and 17th century wall paintings.

DAY EIGHTEEN FRIDAY 26th April: Tytyri Mine Experience. Lohja. Finland: This was an amazing experience, fascination and very interesting. We were way below the ground and gained access via a lift that went way, way below. One down there we were able to make our own way around and enjoy the experience in our own time. There was a lot more in there than meets the eye with special displays for children. Calcite crystals are illuminated making for a very magical experience. One descends 110 meters underground and amazingly right inside the energy line that connects to Craft. There was a little visitors centre and coffee shop where one could get refreshments and gifts. One can read about the origins and history of the mine here below:

Church of St Lawrence (St Laurus) Janakkala. Finland: This church is the third largest medieval parish church in Finland. Sadly it was very closed so no access gained but it was very pretty from the outside and looked very photogenic with the snow all around. Prior to the introduction of Lutheranism into Finland the church served the Roman Catholic Church. The church is dedicated to St Lawrence of Rome. There are early sixteenth century murals inside which make it one of the most valuable medieval buildings in Finland. The church itself is a medieval sandstone church, probably consecrat in the 13th century. The sacristy and armoury of the church were demolished in the 19th century when it was transformed into an Empire-style cruciform church and a new sacristy was built at the eastern end.

DAY NINETEEN. SATURDAY 27th April: Karajamaki Hill stone circle. Eura. Finland: These amazing stones date from 38,000 BCE, making them currently 40,000 years old Stone Age sacred space, referred to as ‘Court Circle’, yet its real name has always been ‘Judge’s Stone’, it guards two special graves from that time, ‘settlers” that came to the Earth…. Both interesting and intriguing and what was also very intriguing was the personal realization of ‘watchers’ being around…. Although in a fairly populated area, the stones are hidden away atop a mound that use to be the shoreline of an ocean for at this point Eura was by the sea, a seaside settlement and like many stone circles it hides many secrets and riddles of earthly time. The stones that marks this burial site were in line with many burials of that time that were placed next to the sea.

DAY TWENTY SUNDAY 28th April – A well earned rest day!

DAY TWENTY ONE. MONDAY 29th April: St Mary’s Church. Pojo: This very unusual looking church with its distinctive stone walls was built in 1400 CE. The church’s wooden sculptures date from the 1200’s, the stone walls from the 1400’s, the pews from the 1700’s, the organ facade from the 1800’s, the brick floor, altar and organ from the 1800’s and the new altar from 2000. However the church was sadly closed and we could not get in to see any of this. But it was a lovely looking church with well kept interesting large grounds surrounding it.

After the church we had a little bit of ‘time out’ at the nearby river and marina

DAY TWENTY TWO. TUESDAY 30th April: Hanko Church and Hanko Water Tower, followed by a stroll around the picturesque seaside part of Hanko with our usual stop for a lovely coffee, chill and a good old browse around the stores there, before saying our goodbys. It was a simply gorgeous day, we could not have wished for a lovelier last day in Hanko. The church is set atop a mound on the edge of the town, overlooking the town. It is a neo-Gothic church built in 1892 and designed by Johan Jacob Ahrenberg. The church was damaged badly the second world war, but has been thoroughly renovated. While i was strolling around the church at the top of the mound, a large wild deer happened to walk through the church grounds just in front of me and simply disappeared into the forest scrub. Obviously knew just where it was going.

and then time for a nice coffee….

DAY TWENTY THREE. WEDNESDAY 1st May: Leaving Finland: Finland was a mixture of all sorts of things. It was both challenging and picturesque, it was a learning curve on both the metaphysical and the physical. Hanko was lovely and our apartment was brilliant, it’s always very sad to leave such amazing accommodation. The view from our huge windows was not only stunning but was a huge secret riddle in itself and I will never forget what i saw and felt there. So off we go to board the Tallink Silja ferry for the Baltic countries bordering Russia and to soak up the Russian influences along the way, probably the closest we will ever get to Russia these days.
