Pauanne 

Castles were shuddering, lakes were trembling

Copper mountains were quaking

In the Thunder God's (Pauanne) blast and bluster,

His rumbling and roaring.

Beliefs both old and new have inspired music.

Old folk beliefs have many practices that seem utterly outrageous. One might expect the advance of science and information to have weakened such beliefs. However, today's newspaper articles with their horoscopes and alternative therapies are not so very distant from the mythologies of the past.

In the past, there was thought to be only a limited quota of happiness available to the village community, and the happiness of others detracted from one's own. Even today, luck seems to be limited within the state, and some of us are reluctant to give it to strangers. In old beliefs, the wizard's iron fence protected from evil, just as walls are thought to protect today.
