Ask treasures from Ahti, the god of water
Fishing was the main livelihood in prehistoric Finland and it still is a lifestyle that upholds cultural traditions. In Finnish language the verb “ask” is still used as a synonym for fishing – we ask fishes from Ahti, the god and possessor of water in Finnish folklore and ancient religion. On a good day, Ahti gives us perches, pikes, arctic white fish pike-perch, or even burbots!
