Marzanna (Morana) The Slavic Goddess Of Death | Slavic Mythology (4)

Marzanna or Morana is an ancient Slavic goddess associated with winter’s death and rebirth of nature. In Slavic mythology and folklore, Morana played an important role and was portrayed as a pale goddess with long dark hair and a slim figure. She was the daughter of Lada and Svarog and was prominently worshiped by the Kievan Rus. Morana was initially viewed as a goddess of fertility and mother of all that is living. She resembled the positive sides of the Great Mother archetype just to later be shifted into an evil bringer of disease and old age. She became a goddess of long and cold winters that brought death, famine, and extreme temperatures of a deathly gaze. Some Slavic legend states that Baba Yaga was the creation of Morana or that even Morana transformed into her. As it goes with her trickster nature, Morana was believed to transform into a girl called Marinka who tempted the hero Dobrynya. The tradition of burning or drowning an effigy of Marzanna to celebrate the end of winter is a folk custom that survives in the Czech Republic, Poland, Lithuania, and Slovakia. #Marzanna #SlavicMythology #Mythology Here at HermesHub, we share a wide range of interests ranging from mythology and history to psychology and philosophy, while having a great time at gaming.
