THE DARK SIDE OF MYTH & FOLKLORE: MARZANNA

In Slavic mythology, Marzanna (also known as Mara, Morena, Maržena, Morana, Moréna, Mora, and Marmora) was a goddess of winter, death, and sometimes magic. In Slavic countries, an effigy of Marzanna is burned and drowned in March to symbolize the end of winter and the triumph of spring.

     –✫ ❝ see, this is why i didn’t. there’s no viable proof you won’t bite me with THIS attitude, damn! you treat all your visitors like this? you must be real fun at parties (y'know, if people actually invited you to them, which I can’t imagine is a thing). ❞

“ No, only Americans and sometimes Poles if I am feeling particularly bitter. “ Though he’s joking, there’s no wink or nudge to betray his true feelings. He crosses his arms over his chest, rolling his eyes and scoffing.

“ Even if I was invited to parties often, I would not go to them, as I feel I have better things to do with my time, actually, thank you for your concern. “

You look like a walking skeleton. What have you been eating, acorns and snow.

No, raw berries and the occasional salmon which I catch from the stream with my teeth, thank you for asking, Natka. I really appreciate your concern for my well-being.

“ You know, if you are lost, you could have just told me instead of standing there gawking like that. I am not going to bite you, you can ask for directions. It is not difficult. I speak decent enough English, believe it or not. ”

ICE BREAKER MEMES

Have you always wanted our muses to meet, but didn’t know how they would first interact? Send me one of the following ice breakers so we can embark on our roleplaying adventure!

“Good morning, sorry I’m late!”

“I’m not late am I?”

“I don’t think we’ve met before…”

“You look familiar, have we met?”

“Do I know you?”

“Sorry! You dropped this!”

“Oh, sorry I thought you were someone else, I didn’t mean to hug you!”

“Watch where you’re going!”

“Are you okay? You didn’t fall too badly did you?”

“I should have said something earlier, I’m-”

“I’ve seen you around, I’ve just never had the guts to say hi.”

“You must be new…”

“Do you need a hand?”

“Have you just moved in?”

“If you want me to show you around, I don’t mind helping.”

“I saw you from across the room and I had to say hi.”

“I wouldn’t buy that if I were you.”

“Do you need some help?”

“Is this yours?”

“Sorry, I’m not from around here, do you know where the nearest pharmacy is?”

“Hey, have you got change for a note?”

“Want some gum?”

“Ah, sorry. I’ll move my bag, this seat is free.”

“Careful!”

“Not every day you meet someone with such a smile!”

“Thanks for holding the door open for me!”

“Uhm, excuse me. Hey, wake up! This isn’t your stop is it?”

I was watching a documentary about a dead American president today and by chance alone I have discovered that I lived in the same apartment complex as Lee Harvey Oswald. 

Isn’t life incredible sometimes.
