  1. Found this masterpiece in my archive. Unfortunately, I'm not sure who the artist is. The artwork is titled Vužalki (Вужалкі), 2004.

    In Belarusian #mythology Vužalki are the daughters of the #Natrix King (The King of #Snakes). Naked, adorned with abundant gold jewelry, which they sometimes lose. Harmless to humans. Always surrounded by snake guardians.

    Photo taken in Zaslaŭje, #Belarus, in 2014.

  11. To start the week, a smiley Green Man (or rather yellow) I found at Abbey Dore in #Herefordshire. The abbey dates back to the 12th Century but was expanded a century later. The Green Man perhaps therefore dates from the 13th Century. #GreenMan #pagan #PreChristian #church #medieval #medievalsky

  14. 🌾 Pierwszy Snopek – The First Sheaf Ritual
    In pre-Christian Poland, harvest began with the Pierwszy Snopek – the first sheaf of grain was placed in the home in ceremony. Believed to hold the spirit of the field, it was blessed and its grains saved for sowing, Szczodre Gody, or spring livestock – a promise of prosperity until the next harvest. ✨

  17. #Māras /Mara's Day or Great Mother Day in the #Latvian tradtion- is now mostly celebrated Aug 15, conflated with the Virgin Mary; really it should be around Aug 6, for the cross-quarter day between Summer Solstice/Autumn Equinox. Māra is the #prechristian Great/Earth Mother celebrated several times a year. This one marks final flowering, harvest, final days of summer. Digital altar this year, +more in this #blog post from 2021 with an #altar #offering
