I'MÂ MARJUT TUULIA NUMMINEN
I'm the founder of WORLD OF MARJATTA, and my heart's desire is to bring new balance to Earth through Wild Womanhood and Alchemy.
I'm an empowerment mentor, ceremonialist, artist, and a Wild Woman. I'm a woman of Pohjola*, meaning that my roots are deep in the Northern soil, and the songlines of the North have coded my DNA. I live in Janakkala, Finland, with my wife Aino and our cat Taisto. My mother Leila lives right next to us.
Over the years, I’ve gathered wisdom about sacred alchemy, the Goddesses of Pohjola*, shamanism, ancestral work, and Wild Womanhood. As an artist, I’ve long drawn inspiration from the goddesses of this land and the wisdom of the Earth. After encountering my fair share of trauma — losses, fears, anxiety, depression, and a burnout — I was forced to face my shadows. And in a way, I did — but only the old, outdated version of me. In that darkness, the Great Mother, with her goddesses, caught me in their firm and loving arms. The seer in me was awakened, and I began to learn about alchemy. Alchemy was the divine gift found in the darkest places. And it brought me back to life.
I learned about the Sacred Way of the Balanced Divine, combining both healed feminine and masculine energy. I was called to understand that The Alchemical Cycle of the Woman is sealed in the Northern songlines. It is the liberating wisdom sung from the mothers of Pohjola* to their daughters throughout history. We are meant to rise up together as Golden Women, remembering our divinity and inner power. It is our honor, privilege, and responsibility to remember that wisdom and let it transmute us and our lives forever. We must do this together — for ourselves, for our ancestors, for the next generations, and for this planet.
That is why I’m leading the way for women who are ready to make a change and reconnect with their soul’s path, to start living the thriving and authentic life we all deserve.
Join me on this revolutionary journey of becoming the woman you are meant to be!
*Pohjola = the North or Northland, an ancient matriarchy where the Divine Feminine was revered. Pohjola is sometimes also referred to as Terra Feminarum. The stories about Pohjola can be found in many Baltic-Finnic traditions. The wisdom of Pohjola lives in the Finnish soil, waters, songlines, and ancestry. Â
MARJATTA'SÂ
STORY
Marjatta is the original Golden Woman, the primordial ancestral mother of Pohjola. She follows her authentic path, guided by the voice of her soul. She is a bringer of life and births a new world.
Kalevala, the Finnish national epic compiled by Elias Lönnrot in 1849, is based on traditional Finnish and Karelian rune songs. While I deeply respect Lönnrot’s work in preserving these songs in written form, it’s important to note that he modified and arranged these originally separate songs into a coherent story with a structured plot. Over time, these rune songs had already transformed through different historical layers, each era subtly shaping them. Within Kalevala, we can still sense the original story lying beneath the surface. However, the Finnish national epic reflects the patriarchal and Christian influences of its time, which largely leave out the wisdom of Pohjola’s matriarchs, primordial mothers, and goddesses.
For example, Aino chooses to end her life rather than marry the sage Väinämöinen. Marjatta, meanwhile, eats a lingonberry in the forest, becomes pregnant, and is outcast by her family and village. She gives birth to her son alone, but her son will later be crowned the new king of Karelia. Marjatta’s story is almost entirely reframed in Christian terms, echoing the story of Mary and the birth of Jesus.
The only “Golden Woman” in Kalevala is a golden statue forged by the smith Ilmarinen. And then there’s Louhi, who’s depicted as a dangerous, mad witch of Pohjola.
It’s time to set these stories right. Many sages, seers, and writers before me have read between the lines, recognizing the time frame’s limitations while listening to the wisdom of the Earth and the songlines of Pohjola. Many nights, I have been woken by our goddesses to feel and see their wisdom. They want their original stories told, and that’s what I aim to do. What fills me with joy is that sacred feminine wisdom is resurfacing globally, as people remember the authentic codes of their lands. Together, all these stories around the planet share so much sacred wisdom that, when brought together, can help us transform this world for the better.
The Alchemical Cycle of the Woman
This is both ancient wisdom and a prophecy, sung from mother to daughter in Pohjola.
Aino, a young woman, hears the ancient whispers of her ancestral mothers, and the wisdom of the Earth and the stars through her heart-womb connection. She feels her Great Mother’s power within her. When society pushes her to conform, her inner voice speaks too strongly to ignore. Though she feels fear, anger, and even desperation, she knows there is more for her. She leaves all she knows behind, all that’s familiar, sensing something calling her name.
She dives into dark, terrifying waters, struggling to breathe. She chokes and writhes, unable to go back, and finally surrenders. She just floats, thinking that this must be what dying feels like. Then a voice speaks: “Welcome home, you have arrived.” Mother Earth cradles her, and Louhi, the wise matriarch of Pohjola, assures her, “There is nothing to fear. This darkness is the sacred womb of the Divine herself.” Aino realizes she can breathe in the water. The alchemy of ancient waters changes her, transmuting her into Vellamo, the Goddess of Water. She learns to be one with the dark water. Her fears begin to disappear, her inner voice clears, and the lost fragments of her soul return. She allows time for the magic to unfold.
One day, she feels ready to rise from the water. On the shore, she feels herself transformed again: She is Marjatta now, ready for the world. She steps onto the land in a red dress, renewed and alive. The sun’s rays feel magical on her face, and she embraces her true path.
In the forest, she gathers lingonberries, greeting the trees, rocks, goddesses, and forest spirits. The forest feels ripe, sensual, and brimming with life force — just as she does.
Arriving in her village, she realizes the people around her haven’t changed, even though she is entirely new. Neither her family nor the people of the village understand her transformation. All the conditioning Marjatta thought she had left behind comes rushing back. Listening to her inner wisdom, she realizes she must rise as an independent woman, establish boundaries, and work toward her dreams. She will be the change she wants to see, embodying a new consciousness. Trusting her oracle-like visions, she is a Wild Woman on a sacred pilgrimage.
Then she feels herself rising from the Earth, an ascension that lifts her into a new world. She is now the Golden Woman — a master of alchemy, fully human and fully divine. Her whole being begins to glow with a golden light. She owns it all now: Aino's innocence to heed the divine calling, Vellamo's trust to dive deep into the dark, and Marjatta's bravery to choose herself again and again.Â
"Radiating starlit light and love, Marjut leads the way into the ancient womb wisdom of Mother Earth as well as into the eternal mysteries of the Universe. The way she channels the messages of the Nordic goddesses is heartfelt, down-to-earth, and genuine. I’m so grateful that I get to belong to the same mycelium of light with this woman. "
