I am very surprised by the opinion that Mara and Kashchey are evil. there are no evil gods and no good ones either. gods are neutral. and these are not magical invisible creatures at all. we just personify different types of energy into images of personalities, so that it's more convenient for us to perceive them. in the same way, cummir or icon isn't an object of worship or a place of residence of the deity. but this is a subject that helps us focus on the right image. this is a cheat sheet for visualization. Hel, Mara and Kali are different names of the same Death in different traditions. and the cult of the Dark Mother for me is not tantamount to lighting a candle in the shape of a skull or pouring a bottle of wine into the cemetery in the ground so that a giant magic lady in black comes and kickedass to opponent. but this is a specific character. it is the ability to face fears, survive crises, grow through pain and phobias - and therefore understand someone else’s pain. this is the ability to find a resource within myself, this is moral strength, this is Phoenix rising from the ashes, this is honesty and even courage. this is understanding how people, feelings and projects die. it's the awareness from which the decay energy is formed. and this ability to work with the energy of death - not only physical. thus, when I address the Goddess of Death, this is a message from the series "your image symbolizes completion and splitting into atoms. therefore, people present you as high - because greatness is characteristic of this state. you are contemplate - because of this statepeculiar observation. you are cold - because of emotional non-involvement. we see you as dark - because it is immersion in the depths of the subconscious. you always have the wisdom to understand what is happening, enough exposureperceive it impartially and have the strength to cope with the problem. you have no fear of loss. so I want to align with you by energy and gain the qualities that are peculiar to you" #helthegoddess #darkmother #asatru #witchesofinstagram #death #santamuerte #kali #богинясмерти #хель #темнаямать #севернаятрадиция #асатру #таролог #рунолог #консультацияонлайн https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt5VoIcHPDc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=u7jquiqfgop3
