In [[Finland]], it is popular for children to dress up as Easter witches and go door to door in neighborhoods and trade decorated [[pussy willow]] branches for coins and candy. This is an old [[Karelia]]n custom called ''[[virpominen]]''.

It is customary for the children to chant, with some variation, "Virvon varvon tuoreeks, terveeks, tulevaks vuodeks, vitsa sulle, palkka mulle!"<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.vartsi.net/2016/03/21/virvon-varvon-tuoreeks-terveeks-2/ |title=Virvon varvon tuoreeks terveeks… |last=Väänänen |first=Vuokko |date=21 March 2016 |website=Värtsilän verkkolehti |access-date=25 September 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170926143600/http://www.vartsi.net/2016/03/21/virvon-varvon-tuoreeks-terveeks-2/ |archive-date=26 September 2017 |url-status=live }}</ref> which very roughly translates as "I'm wishing you a fresh, healthy upcoming year, a branch for you, a prize for me!" The chant has been translated in [[Juha Vuorinen]]'s novel ''Totally Smashed!'' as "Willow switch, I'm the Easter witch! I wish you health and a love that's rich! From me I bring some luck today, for this branch what will you pay?"<ref>{{Cite book |last= Vuorinen|first= Juha |translator= Leonard Pearl|year= 2017|title= Totally Smashed!|publisher= Diktaatori|page= 165|isbn= 978-9525474756}}</ref>
