If you'd only have said something Penguin!
I know kalevala. it was heavily influential on Tolkien, who took words and/or phonemes from it. (Ilmarien, Aino, Vainamoinen) He also took plot points, and was fairly explicit in stating that the Turin cycle derives thereunto.
In this sense, I'd say your likely culprits for the symbolism will be those old europeans, somewhat masonic, who have beliefs of a derivative-tolkienish nature (merovingians?) and their propogandists, like Keith Bosley, who wrote the translation i own, also a member of the Order of the White Rose, which I assume you're aware of.

Wiki also says Aino was the most popular Finnish girls' name of 2006. its funny, because it gets used as a punform by Tolkien.
Ilmarien's part of the Vainamoinen story has the furnace/sevens symbolism (central to Blake, via the bible) indicating it may be somewhat older than its "present" form. (Vaina hisself is likely a Noah type, and their are etymological puns connecting him directly to JRR's Gandalf via Olorin)

The Forging of the Sampo
When the old sage, Väinämöinen, was traveling wide in the search of a wife, he was captured by the old mistress of Pohjola, the land of the North. In return for giving him safe passage from the land of Pohjola back to his native country, the enchantress Louhi of Pohjola wanted to have made the Sampo, a magic artifact. Väinämöinen replied that he could not make her one, but that Ilmarinen could, and promised to send the great smith to Pohjola to do just that. In return for this wondrous device, Louhi would also give Ilmarinen her daughter's hand in marriage.
On having returned home, Väinämöinen tries to awe Ilmarinen with tales of the maiden's beauty and so lure him to Pohjola. Ilmarinen sees through the ruse, however, and refuses. Not to be outdone, Väinämöinen tricks the smith into climbing a fir tree trying to bring down moonlight that is glimmering on the branches. Conjuring a storm-wind with his magical song, Väinämöinen then blows Ilmarinen away to Pohjola.
Once there, Ilmarinen is approached by the toothless hag, Louhi, and her daughter, the Maiden of Pohjola, and having seen the maiden's beauty, consents to build a Sampo. For three days, he sought a place to build a great forge. In that forge he placed metals and started working, tending the magic fire with help of the slaves of Pohjola.
On the first day, Ilmarinen looked down into the flames and saw that the metal had taken the form of a crossbow with a golden arch, a copper shaft and quarrel-tips of silver. But the bow had an evil spirit, asking for a new victim each day, and so Ilmarinen broke it and cast the pieces back into the fire.
On the second day, there came a metal ship from the fire, with ribs of gold and copper oars. Though beautiful to behold, it too was evil at heart, being too eager to rush towards battle, and so, Ilmarinen broke the magic boat apart and cast back the pieces once more.
On the third day, a metal cow emerged, with golden horns and the sun and the stars on its brow. But alas, it was ill-tempered, and so the magical heifer was broken into pieces and melted down.
On the fourth day, a golden plow is pulled from the forge, with a golden plowshare, a copper beam and silver handles. But it too is flawed, plowing up planted fields and furrowing meadows. In despair, Ilmarinen destroys his creation once more.
Angered at his lack of success, Ilmarinen conjures the four winds to fan the flames. The winds blow for three days, until finally, the Sampo is born, taking the shape of a magic mill that produces grain, salt and gold. Pleased with his creation at last, Ilmarinen presents it to Louhi, who promptly locks it in a vault deep underground.
Returning triumphant to the Maiden of Pohjola, Ilmarinen bids her to become his wife. To his dismay, she refuses to leave her native land, forcing him to return home alone and dejected.

The recurrent symbols above (Furnaces, Mills, etc) should be familiar to students of Mr. Frye.
the five pointed star is in all the similar cycles, connected to the global flood myths (?) and is fairly ubiquitous in being the symbol of the Atlantean kingdom and kings.
&etc.
Freemasons do indeed use the five pointed star, but not like it appears on your monument. The cults of the Boatmen however, do, and I'd say that is who you're dealing with here. They're usually less evil, but when they're not, they're not.
(they are also more than likely freemasons as well, but that is a different subject)
those are my thoughts.
