What Wikipedia says

Finnish mythology commonly refers to the folklore of Finnish paganism, of which a modern revival is practised by a small percentage of the Finnish people. It has many shared features with Estonian and other Finnic mythologies, but also with neighbouring Baltic, Slavic and, to a lesser extent, Norse mythologies.
