Finnish Neopaganism (Finnish: suomenusko or suomenuskoinen pakanuus; also formerly ukonusko) is a Neopagan religious system that attempts to revive old Finnish paganism, the pre-Christian polytheistic ethnic religion of the Finnish people.
The main problem in the revival of Finnish paganism is the nature of pre-Christian Finnish culture, which relied on oral tradition and was completely nonliterate. The primary sources concerning Finnish native culture are written by latter-era Christians. They may be biased, tainted or unreliable.
Finnish Neopaganism is advocated by the Taivaannaula voluntary association (since 2007). Its existence is not reported by adherents.com (as of 2010).
