SOMETHING ABOUT FINLAND: "Twig Sunday"
This is the rhyme that the witches say. There are different versions but this is the only one that I have heard.
Virvon varvon, (I don't think this means anything, but signals the witch is waving his/her wand.)
tuoreeks, (fresh), terveeks, (health)
tulevaks vuueks, (for the forthcoming year)
vitsa sulle, (twig for you)
palkka mulle! (reward for me!)
