Lately I've been reading and studying a lot of Scandinavian poetry (making some very interesting content for you) 🧐 You know, Northern culture and its legends are very close to my heart and soul. Unfortunately, most of these tales were written or documented after the emergence of Christianity, and that's why right now we have an interesting synthesis of the cultures. Yet Scandinavia still inherited a rich variety of written and told legends and Scaldic songs. Russians are less fortunate in this regard. Very few monuments of ancient culture have survived in my country. Or rather, mostly archaeological monuments have survived: jewelry, weapons, utensils and musical instruments. But without a cultural context, we cannot always understand how certain objects were used and what ritual and religious significance they had. That vivid and brutal image of the Northern Slavic pagans that we have now, unfortunately, is just a well crafted fairy tale, originally created by the colonizers with the purpose of demonizing and discrediting these very "crude" pagans. And then (in the 20th century) this surrogate idea was happily picked up by neo-pagans and nationalists of all communities. Without such complex ideas and chimeras, it is impossible to justify the colonial crime and barbaric behavior of the "progressive" representatives of humanity 😸 In any case, I am glad to feel a connection with many peoples: the Finno-Ugrians, the Turkic and Germanic tribes who took a significant part in the formation of my gene pool πŸ˜… All these peoples left a certain mark on me and I periodically hear echoes of their memories, plunging my mind's focus into visions of days gone by... Do you ever have similar feelings? #cute #teen #babyface #babygirl #skinny # nature

In our country there lives such a people as the Mari, an ancient and unusual folk! I know several Mari people and they are very nice ✨ 

It may seem that they are closed and stern, but over time these people open up and you begin to understand that they are reliable, sincere and very kind. And they are often silent because they don’t like to waste time and always speak only if it's necessary.

They believe that a person's attitude towards nature can say a lot about their essence and inner world, and I couldn't agree more! 😌 

The Mari have preserved their ancient religion, and for them this is not just for a hollow tradition and showing off. For many Mari, their faith is what it was thousands of years ago - a spiritual and moral guideline on the path of life. They also have a pantheon of semi-gods, and I want to tell you a little about the forest deities! 🧚🏻

β€œThe god of the forest, Kozhla Yumo, protected forest animals from senseless extermination, protected the forest from cutting down, and it was especially strictly forbidden to cut down trees along rivers and on sandy hills. A person who, for any reason, destroyed such a tree, had to plant ten new ones in order to avoid the wrath of Kozhla Yumo.

The Mother of the Forest - Kozhla Ava - can appear to a person in the guise of a bear, a white squirrel or a giantess in white robes who rides through the forest on a moose. Her favorite birds are the owl and the eagle owl, so hunters often decorated their hats with their feathers to please her.
Her relationship with people also depends on how a person treats the forest.” – Myths of the Volga region by Tatyana Muravieva

Would you tell me about the ancient traditions of your people? πŸ‰
