  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.

  4. 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

  5. #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
