GODDESS
Cold but just Morena, beautiful Lada,
mother Mokosha. Today we no longer perceive
the Slavic goddesses, yet for our foremothers
they were intimately close.
They relied on them, prayed to them, sought their advice.
The goddesses were omnipresent. They shaped and guided
the daily lives of our ancestors, the changing of the seasons,
and the vital agricultural cycles.
It seems that today these goddesses have vanished somewhere.
We no longer perceive them. We no longer remember them.
Can something that accompanied us from birth to death, for dozens of generations, for thousands of years, truly disappear? No, the Slavic goddesses are still here, only a little less visible. This doesn’t mean they hide only in legends, open-air museums, or folklore festivals. They have transformed into archetypal beings that we carry within our collective subconscious.
Do they watch us from above, or are they within us, even if we don’t realize it? By discovering the qualities of our Slavic goddesses, we learn that each of us carries a part of each one. The goddesses inspire us, give us energy, and motivate us to greater achievements. It doesn’t matter whether we’re searching for a cure for cancer, conducting, playing the harp, studying anthropology, or writing a vegan blog.
