Swaróg, Marzanna, and Perun. Oh my!

I wanted to draw slavic dieties as like... JRPG Summons. I dunno.

I got frustrated with Perun. Got a solid sketch and flow and then worked past it too much. Stiff again. Phooey. I really wanted to bring more Zakopane flavour into it- he summons down ciupaga and uses it as a way to anchor lightning across the battlefield to smite your foes! Maybe I'll return and fix it later, get a proper mountaineer feeling and make Tata proud.

Slavic Mythology

↳Marzanna /Морена/

She is associated with death and winter and often described as the goddess of death. Marzanna can be compared to the Greek Goddess Hecate or the Roman Goddess Ceres.

As Goddess of death, her realm was Nav - realm of dead and she wasn't respected as much as her counterpart and enemy Vesna. She represented long, cold winters that could bring death of 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.

She was imagined either as black-haired, pale woman with fangs and claws, or similar to Baba Yaga - as an ugly, old witch.

GODDESS OF THE DAY Marzenna. Themes: Spring Weather; Protection; Winter; Death; Rebirth; Cycles; Change; Growth Symbols: Doll (poppet); Water (including ice and snow) Marzenna is the Polish goddess for whom this holiday is named and represents an odd combination of winter, death, and the fruit field’s growth and fertility. As such, she oversees the earth’s transition from death to rebirth and likewise oversees the transitions we wish to make in our lives. -365 Goddess #Goddesses #marzenna #slavicgoddess #pagansofinstagram #themagicapothecary #witchesoffacebook #witchesoftwitter #witchesofinstagram #themagicapothecary https://www.instagram.com/p/BvXIyP5huDm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3qt5uzdleje5
