Kalevala: The Epic Poem of Finland PREFACE / JOHN MARTIN CRAWFORD. / THE KALEVALA. / PROEM; lines 6717-6911 confidence: medium
Lemminkainen begins incantations; lightning and flames appear from him; by his singing he silences witches and wizards and banishes heroes and minstrels to barren places, waters, fire, boiling waters, and torment.
Opponents are banished by song to unproductive lands, oceans, waterfalls, a hot flaming whirlpool, fires, boiling waters, and everlasting torment.
