Scholars suggest that the virgin birth depicted in this text after Marjatta eats a berry is a result of Christianization. A woman in this text uses honey to revive her son, pieces of whose body she finds with a copper rake and sews together after seeing the omen of his bleeding hairbrush. The Mistress of the North who rules over Pohjola in this text promises her daughter to its protagonist if he can successfully forge the Sampo. After the witch Louhi steals the sun, the moon, and fire in this text, the smith Ilmarinen and the kantele-playing first man, Väinämöinen, work to restore them.
