“They dance among the stars and hold the keys to magical powers.”

In Finnish auroras are known as “revontulet” which roughly translates to “fox fires”, a name delivered from mythological creature known as Tulikk or Tulikettu (i.e. Firefox, tuli = fire, kettu = fox). According to folklore, the Tulikko lives in the woods and is rarely seen. Tulikko is black during the days but glimmers like a fire during the nights. The leather (or fur) of a Tulikko is immensely valuable, since it can illuminate without burning. It is said that catching one could make the hunter rich beyond measure. Auroras are the result of the Tulikko’s tail light trail.
