Morena (Slovak and Macedonia) was the goddess associated with seasonal agrarian rites based on the idea of death and rebirth of nature in Slavic mythology. As the Goddess of death, her realm was Nav (realm of dead) and she wasn’t respected as much as her counterpart and enemy Vesna (goddess of spring). She represented the long, cold winters that could bring death to both humans and their cattle in form of starvation and freezing. Her arrival was always expected with fear, while arrival of Spring season was always celebrated. Among Eastern Slavs, there was belief that Yarilo (god of rebirth), when he was taken by Veles (god of forests), he met Morena at the beginning of Spring and their love brought wheat and fruits. However, when Yarilo stopped liking her, she murdered him and that caused Autumn and eventually Winter to happen. Morena also goes by other names in Slavic mythology including Marzanna (Polish), Marena (Russian), Mara (Ukraine), Morana (Czech, Slovene, Croatian, Bosnian and Serbian) and Mora (Bulgarian).

Halloween Series: Witches in Fiction 🔮✨

The Enchantress is a minor, yet crucial, character from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. Disguised as an elderly beggar woman, the Enchantress went to the castle of the Prince on a cold winter’s night, and requested if she could stay overnight to be protected from the cold in exchange for a beautiful rose she was carrying. Unimpressed by the beautiful gift and repulsed by her appearance, the Prince refused and shut the door in her face, despite her warning not to be deceived by appearances for beauty is found within. When she knocked on the door again, she revealed her true form to the Prince. Seeing how powerful she was, the Prince sought her forgiveness, but it was too late, so the Enchantress put a curse on him: for his selfishness and cruelty, he would become a Beast until he learned to love another and earned her love in return. She also cursed all the servants transforming them into anthropomorphic objects, the castle became dark and lonely and the surrounding forest became dark, misty, and infested with wolves, bats, and other vicious animals so only very few would dare to enter it.

Sif was the goddess of the earth in Norse mythology with her name meaning ‘relation by marriage’ which related to her marriage to Thor (god of thunder). It was also said her long golden hair represented fields of wheat, which were the two most prominent things known about her. One of her more well known stories involved Loki cutting off her long hair as she slept whilst Thor was away. As punishment Loki was forced to seek out dwarves to make Sif a wig out of the finest gold. The trickster God then dared the dwarves to make more masterpieces. One of which turned out to be the magical hammer called Mjollnir, that was then presented to Thor along with Sif’s new hair. (Atelier Versace Fall 2017 Haute Couture Collection)
