- Source: Lempo
Lempo (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈlempo]) is a sort of fiend from Finnish folklore and mythology. Lempo is the god of love and fertility in Finnish mythology.
After Christianity came to Finland, the reputation of Lempo worsened: it is portrayed in the folklore usually as an erratic spirit, as love can be capricious, even dangerous, and it could even take control of a being and turn them to destruction.
Lempo brought down the hero Väinämöinen with the help of his two demon cohorts, Hiisi and Paha.
The words "lempo" and "hiisi" are also used as very mild swear words in the Finnish language. Piru is a slightly stronger swear word.
