Kuutar
Kuutar (lit. 'Maiden of the Moon', pronounced [ˈkuːt̪ɑr]), is the goddess of the Moon in Finnish mythology. She owns the gold of the Moon, spins golden yarns, and weaves clothes out of them.[1] In Kalevala, young maidens ask Kuutar to give them some of her golden jewellery and clothes. She is described as a great beauty.
