The Man-Eating Tree - Karsikko 

#Rusya'da Kilise ve yetkililer #Runik yazıya karşı acımasız bir mücadele yürüttüler: kitaplar ve el yazmaları yakıldı. Bununla birlikte, karelya toplumunda büyülü olarak kabul edilen runik semboller uzun süre korunmuştur. Bu tür işaretler Karelya geleneğinde bulunabilir - "#Karsikko" ağaçlarında veya #Runik_Takvimler'de. Resim: Tabletlerde takvim. #Kuzey_Karelya.

Original text: In Russia, the Church and the authorities waged a merciless struggle against runic writing: books and manuscripts were burned. However, runic symbols have been preserved for a long time in the Karelian society, being considered magical. Such signs can be found in the Karelian tradition - on "karsikko" trees or runic calendars. Pictures: Calendar on tablets. North Karelia.

Karsikkopuu is an old tradition in finnish mythology and folklore. It is usually a big tree, such as pine or spruce. When someone died people used to carve the deceased's initials and year of death to the tree. The purpose was to join the deceased to the underworld, and to prevent them to return and haunt the living.
