In Finnish folk astronomy the Milky Way is known as the Linnunraata - a migratory path of white swans, also known as Sielulintu, or “Soul Birds”, who bring a human soul to the body at the moment of birth, and carry the soul away at the moment of death towards Lintukoto, the home of the birds.Sometimes the Sielulintu find us in our sleep and carry us into the dreamworld, and before waking, return us home again. A beautiful story that folds us back into the feathered wings of a universe that mothers us.
