- We're celebrating Dziady Wiosenne (Spring Forefathers) and I'm talking a bit about Slavic image of afterlife and the otherworld.
I have created a painting for those who feel close to their Slavic roots but lack an image that would relate to the topic of loss and grief, and the wandering of the soul.
The image is available here: photos.app.goo...
Thank you for this precious, kind offering! A light Marzanna is so hard to come by! She's vilified everywhere!
Many thanks for offering this beautiful image to us - what a lovely gift. Happy Belated Birthday!
Thank you so much! 😊❤️🌸❤️
Absolutely in love with this painting. If you ever decide to sell prints, please let me know. I look forward to your oracle deck.
My condolences on your families loss. It is comforting to know they are in her hands. Such a generous soul you have.
Thank you so much, Adele!
It's a lovely image, and thank you for sharing. The thought of the goose as a soul is very endearing.
It is, isn't it? ^_^
@@wolfofcoins I love it! I made it my desktop background. :) Thank you! Also, I'm catching up on your videos and you inspired me to go to the library today and get Deathless, The Bear and the Nightingale, and downloaded the Russian fairy tales to pre-read. Enjoying your videos very much re: Slavic tradition and history, and Lenormand.
@@wyomingwynne That's wonderful to hear! I hope you'll enjoy your reads! ^_^
I like how you suggest that the type of relationship they have is less important than the fact they have a close relationship. That's a lovely way of looking at how the Gods interact I think.
Thank you!
I have read that Weles took another deity for a wife and they couldn’t have children due to her infertility.
Piorun took the goddess Dodola (goddess of rain and storms, sometimes replaced by Mokosz, or Żywie both similar to the Mother Earth).
They had two children; Jarilo (God of war, vegetation, fertility and spring; also associated with harvest) and Marzana (Goddess of harvest, witchcraft, winter and death).
When Jarilo was born Weles got so jealous of his brother's son (his nephew) that he took him from his cradle, took him into the underworld and raised him as his own.
When he emerged, Marzana fell in love and got married. Obviously he did not know and when he went to Piorun to ask for her hand when Piorun recognized his own son.
This union brought temporary peace between the rivalry of Piorun and Weles.
Thank you for your comment! Can you tell me the source where you read it?
I'm always happy when I see someone making content dedicated to Morana (as we call her here in Serbia 😊).. Thank you
She's amazing, isn't she? 😊
@@wolfofcoins my heart breaks every time I see her villified and outright demonized.
Very interesting ❤
Thank you thank you for the lovely art. YES, I think I needed this.
I want your oracle or tarot deck if you make one. Blessed be.
Thank you!❤️ I'm still working on it, but hopefully it will be finished in foreseeable future! 😁
Thank you also for the lovely painting. It makes a very beautiful desktop background. Did you ever publish your deck? (sorry these comments are 100 yrs. later :)
Hi! Unfortunately no, the deck is not ready yet :( I'm done with the painting part, but the guidebook takes a lot of time because I want it to be properly researched.
Very beautiful image. My condolences for the losses in your family.
Thank you very much! ❤️
Beautiful work!! Slavic paganism is so fascinating. I just wish there were more sources in English.
Thank you! I know, that's exactly why I'm working on an oracle deck with a proper guidebook. Lots of work, but worth it! 😊
@@wolfofcoins Wonderful!! I look forward to it!
Beautiful painting, full of meaningful symbolism. Her gaze really conveys a comforting wisdom. Very sorry for your loss but glad to see you're finding comfort in your creative endeavors, perhaps some divine inspiration? Also, of course, happy birthday! Hope you're able to do something fun.
Thank you so much, Alexander!❤️ Yes, my creativity definitely links me with the divine, so it's possible there was some inspiration from the gods! 😊
Thank you for sharing your lovely painting! Also I hope you have a wonderful birthday. Wishing you many blessings 💕
Thank you, Beth Anne! ❤️🌷
I’m so sorry for your losses. We are going through a loss right now as well and the timing of your video gift is perfect for me. It’s a beautiful painting. Really looking forward to your Oracle deck! Are you doing a Kickstarter campaign? Wishing you a happy birthday!
Thank you so much, Lisa and I'm sorry for your loss! I think I'll try traditional publishing first, I don't really feel I could deal with the load of work that Kickstarter campaign would require 😅
