Q: What's a Finnish Runic Selvännäkijä?
A: a Spiritual/Intuitive
My lineage goes back to the beginning of Finnish history. I’m American born, but both of my parents are Finnish; which makes me Finnish – American. In our household and community we spoke fluent Finnish, kept Finnish ways, and lived Finnish/Lutheran values.
My maternal Ammi (grandmother) was an effective and well known midwife and herbalist, along with having mystical gifts. (A couple of her daughters inherited some psychic abilities as well, along with my mother – but no one wanted to acknowledge or talk about them.) Then there was me. I am one of many, many grandchildren, and the only one with our generational spiritual gifts.
My rhyming ability is automatic in a natural rhythmic flow. But (as I later learned) like the Spiritual Seers of ancient Finland; no one else in our family ever rhymed…

Rhyming Roots . . .
Years after my cancers were over (and my rare rhyming abilities were well established, although I still had no idea what was going on) I met three professional women from Finland. They were exhibitors for a prominent Helsinki book publisher at the Frankfurt Germany International Book Fair, and showed no surprise when I told them I had written a book about my rhyming/clairvoyant abilities.
In fact, they acknowledged to me that hundreds of years ago, for centuries, certain people (the seers and shamans, then called "Tietäjä's") had my rhyming ability.
“Oh we have heard about people like you,” one woman nonchalantly stated. “You aren’t crazy; you are blessed to be one of the special Finns.” Patting my arm like I was a child who had just discovered the earth was round, she smiled.
This woman further explained that very few Finnish people today, in Finland, have use of this unique rhyming ability to share their clairvoyant gifts. “I haven’t heard of anyone like you lately. Use your gifts wisely.”
Then they all nodded, turned, and went on their way.
Finns have been known for having Sisu (grit), stamina and spiritual strength. They stand up for the underdog; believe in Truth; and bring LIGHT to the darkness, and they are, a "little different."
Yet I had no idea other Finnish Spiritual Intuitives (people like me) - had existed throughout the millenniums. I felt so relieved. Now I finally knew - I am a modern day Selvännäkijä...(spiritual-intuitive)
