Wikipedia is occasionally decent. From the article on Finnish Paganism:
The Finnish pagans were also animists, worshipping local nature deities at site-specific shrines to that particular deity. These shrines are thought to be mainly "tree-gods": wooden statues or carvings done in trees or treestumps, depicting human figures, and have been scarcely preserved. One confirmed Stone Age wooden statue has been found in Pohjankuru, and folklore about worshipping tree-gods has been documented.

Schneewittchen und Rosenrot - Snow White and Rose Red, kept safe by a bear who turns out to be a prince! A metaphor for the animating spirit of such noble animals. The bear in this Grimm tale may also be a reference to the shapeshifting nature of the berserkers (bear shirts) and Paleolithic bear cults. The name of the legendary English hero Beowulf is Old English for "bee wolf" or a bear.

In the landscape throughout Northern Scandinavia, one can find sieidis, places that have unusual land forms different from the surrounding countryside, and that can be considered to have spiritual significance. Each family or clan has its local spirits, to whom they make offerings for protection and good fortune. The Storjunkare are described sometimes as stones, having some likeness to a man or an animal, that were set up on a mountain top, or in a cave, or near rivers and lakes. Honor was done to them by spreading fresh twigs under them in winter, and in summer leaves or grass. The Storjunkare had power over all animals, fish, and birds, and gave luck to those that hunted or fished for them. Reindeer were offered up to them, and every clan and family had its own hill of sacrifice.

Another example of animism in European paganism that lingered on in the folk tradition. Mother Goose has ties to Mother Holda. Human-deity-animal union is the essence of animistic worldview.
