Myths and legends about Northern Lights. The Valkyries, spirits or fire fox?

In Finland, the Northern Lights are known as ‘revontulet’, which can be literally translated as ‘fire fox’. The name comes from the rather beautiful myth that Arctic foxes were responsible for creating the aurora. They would run through the sky so fast that when their large, furry tails brushed against the mountains, they created sparks that lit up the sky.
