KEMERI BOG
(SURVEILLANCE)
Pavasari, Latvia
The fourth result in a Youtube search for “bogs”—titled “Estonian Bogs”, begins as follows.
“Hello, my friends. My name is Artur Rehi, and I am in Estonia, but I am not just in
Estonia, I am actually in a very special place, in Estonia and in the world. It’s a very rare
place, a very old and mystic place. It’s called, in Estonian, raba, and in this video we are
going to talk about what is raba, or bog, in English, what it is for Estonians, what does it
mean, what are the stories and the meanings behind it because it’s not just a physical
place for Estonians, it’s also mythological, spiritual—it has a big place in our cultural
history.”
