Morana arises




SerbianaArt.com IG @jelena.dada email jelenatankosicart@gmail.com NFT OpenSea Catena Mundi and Serbona "Forever intertwined, Morana, goddess of winter and death, and Vesna, goddess of spring and rebirth, could not exist without each other. However, they could not possibly exist in the same place at the same time either. They are the forces that kept the ancient Slavic world turning in a cycle of death and rebirth. One goddess loved for her beauty and bounty, the other feared and hated for her ugliness and darkness. Morana is most often depicted as a woman of terrifying appearance, with pale skin, long dark hair, and sometimes she’s shown with the claws and fangs of a wolf. To most she appeared as a withered old woman with an ugly face, however, it is said that to those who were not afraid of her she would appear as the beautiful maiden. While she has been likened to the Greek Goddess Hecate with regards to sorcery, as well as the Roman Ceres, goddess of agriculture, there are some distinct differences that set her apart from these similar traditions. She is most commonly seen as a bringer of death as seen in Slavic mythology when Morana seduced Dazbog, the sun god. Once Dazbog moved on to another lover, Morana poisoned him. As retaliation, Dazbog burned Morana and banished her to Nav (the underworld in Slavic mythology)."
