I realy doubt that Tülihänd is an elf. And let the Vanatühi be "old empty one". Berhaps a little explenation of Ahjualune, it was in "Kalevipoeg" and some other fairy tales. And why are the names of Vanatühi, Kurat, Vanapagan scatterd arround, it st the same character. And Näärivana isnt from Estonian original mythology, it is later gotten from the cristianity or some thing.
But what chains do you see at the hearth of winter, it was cold before and will be cold after 1 of january.
There is Latvian variation of this tale, but it tells only about Latvian and German so I was wondering if there were other languages and if there is english translation in web for this tale
Does anyone but on of the authors of this and some neighbouring pages use the ethnonym "Setonian"? I have received the impression that Seto is good enough (I think ethnic Seto tend to use this when writing in English). The Wikipedia article on the Setos is entitled "Setos", not "Setonians". Besides: Google reveals that The Setonian is a tri-weekly newspaper published by the students of Seton Hill. Similar confusions with things referring to people or places called Seton may occur. I have so far tolerated "Setonia" as a Latinisation of "Setomaa". (It has also been used as a name of a student firm founded by students of Verska High School.) But still, I think it is best avoided in the future (again some confusions with the same Seton Hall University are predictable). Ohpuu 11:24, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
What sources are available in english on this subject? I stumbled upon the topic of Estonian myth on Wikipedia, & am more interested by the second, but I can't seem to find anything written on the subject in english, or at least published in the US. Any recomendations? mordicai. 14:18, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Does the White Ship really belong into Estonian mythology, if that has been talked only in 19th and 20th century, is not mentioned in any myth and is no related to Estonian ancient religion? DJ Sturm ( talk) 17:48, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
How is this not here? The Herring is a mythical being in Estonia.
A rough retelling of the legend: In the ancient time the herring used to have legs and live on dry land. It used to destroy Vermin, like Rats and it was kept like a cat. One time a two masted Sailing ship was transporting a large load of Salt. Back then salt was expensive. Some unit of it called "saam" (or something like that) cost 100 of something in gold. There was a herring aboard the ship. The specific herring liked to eat salt, so it started to tunnel its way around the salt sacks. Eventually it accidentally chewed its way through the ships wooden hull, causing it to sink. This angered Neptune (the god of sea), who said to the herring: "Hey herring, because you chewed a hole into the ship and sunk the new ship, you will now have to live in seawater as punishment." The salt from the ship was released into the sea, resulting in the seas now having a salt composition.
This is common knowledge in Estonia. GMRE ( talk) 22:30, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello all,
I have made some minor edits. I have added a citation to the first sentence of Literary Mythology. I have also added an additional detail to the sentence following Giant's as Germanic influence. I have also added a brief block quote from Faehlmann noting how difficult is becoming to study Estonian Mythology. Afratoballa ( talk) 17:13, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
