ПРИМИ ВСЕ-БОЖЕ
ТРЕБУ ВЕЛИКУ ОТ РОДА НАШЕГО
ТРЕБУ ЧЕСТНУ ОБИЛЬНУ
ТРЕБУ СЛАВНУ ВСЕСИЛЬНУ
[КАКО ПРЕДКИ НАШИ ДЕЯЛИ
КАКО НАМ ДЕЯТЬ ЗАПОВЕДАЛИ!]
ДА БУДЕ ЗЕМЛЕ НАШЕЙ БЛАГО!
ГОЙ! СЛАВА!

СВЕТИ, СВЕТИ, СОЛНЫШКО!
ДАМ ТЕБЕ ЯИЧКО,
КАК КУРОЧКА СНЕСЕТ В ДУБРАВЕ,
ОТНЕСИ ЕГО ДО РАЮ,
ПУСТЬ ВСЕ ДУШИ РАДУЕТ.

Приношения приносятся В ВОДУ, ЧТОБЫ ВОДА ДОНЕСЛА ИХ ДО УШЕДШИХ В НАВИ ЛЮБИМЫХ, БЛИЗКИХ И ПРЕДКОВ! Также, в воду бросается скорлупа от яйца, чтобы она доплыла до Нави, и к Русальному Дню даже те мертвые, про которых все уже забыли, узнали о весне:

ВОДА-ВОДИЦА, НАВЬЯ СЕСТРИЦА,
МЧИШЬСЯ ТЫ ПО ЛЕСАМ, ПО КОРНЯМ,
ОТНЕСИ МОЮ ТРЕБУ
ПРЕДКАМ К ОБЕДУ.

Требы Славян – это пища, предметы обихода, но только те, которые сделаны своими руками. Из еды и питья, это: кутья, пироги, калачи, блины, сырники, крашеные яйца, вино, пиво, канун (род браги).
Сегодня приглашают Умерших Любимых, Близких и всех Предков к столу и посещают их могилы.

Очень похоже отмечали этот День и Кельты. Праздник начинался в Полдень, пеклись Хлеба с Солярной (Солнечной) Символикой. Друиды окрашивали яйца в Алый Цвет в Честь Солнца, используя для этого цветки дрока, или корень морены.
Это являлось СИМВОЛОМ ЦИКЛИЧЕСКОГО ВОЗРОЖДЕНИЯ, так как из неодушевлённого яйца появлялось живое существо.
Красные скорлупки бросали в реки, чтобы они доплыли до берегов БЛАЖЕННОГО ОСТРОВА, неся с собой весть о том, что СОЛНЦЕ И СЕЗОН ВОЗРОЖДЕНИЯ ВЕРНУЛИСЬ!

Как видите, Друзья, Встречать Весну, надо с Проводов Зимы, и чтобы появилось Желаемое Новое, надо вспомнить ушедшее и ушедших...
Наши Предки знали об этом и соблюдали этот Природный Порядок Вещей. И мы, не забывая их Мудрость, сегодня прощаемся с Зимой на год, Благодаря ее за все Дни Жизни этих Трёх Месяцев, вспоминаем тех, кто ушёл из наших жизней с Любовью.. А завтра, мы вступаем в Обновлённый Год и в Обновленную Жизнь!
И мы Желаем Вам от Всей Души, чтобы все Обновления несли Вам много Счастья и Тепла, как и наступившая Весна!

🕊Ваша Venera Way! 🕊

OUR LEADING RUBRIC “DIARY OF SHADOWS” IS OUR MOST MAGIC RUBRIC! HERE WE LIGHT THE HOLIDAYS AND EVENTS CARRYING A BIG ENERGY EXPERIENCE, TALK ABOUT THE SACRED MEANING PLEDGED IN THEM, WE LOOK FOR THE CURTAIN OF MAGIC SECRET!

Mara-Marushka, hostess-the mother,
Let us now call you
Let us not waste, but collect
Come to us, to those who honor you,
Come to us, to those who keep your Day,
Come to us, to those who pray in the night ,
Come with the white roads,
Come with the green fir-trees
Come with the frosty snowstorms ,
Come with the severe servants,
Come, mother, but not with grief,
Come, mother, but not with disease ,
Come, mother, good and beautiful ,
Come, mother, soft and kind,
Come, cover the Earth with a white coat,
Come, save the seeds in the fields for their time
Build the icy bridges on the rivers,
Make the steep slopes on the banks of the river
Reject the cold and trouble,
Reject the completely old
Reject evil eye and jinx,
Reject all bad
Reject and do not return it,
Lead us from the old to the new!
Glory ! The Black Mother! Glory!

The Glorification to the Goddess Mara !

🕊Dear Friends!🕊

Today, on the First day of Spring, we FAREWELL THE WINTER AND CELEBRATE AN ANCIENT SLAVIC HOLIDAY - THE DAY OF THE WINTER GODDESS MARENA -THE DAY OF NAV, OR VYUNITSA!!!

MARA-MARENA — IS THE GREAT GODDESS OF WINTER AND DEATH, THE MIGHTY, THE FRIGHTFUL GODDESS, THE WIFE OF KOSCHEI—THE GOD OF DEATH, THE HOLIDAY OF WHOM WE CELEBRATED YESTERDAY, ON THE LAST HOLIDAY IN THE YEAR OF THE GODS OF NAV (THE GODS OF THE WORLD OF THE DEAD).

In Slavic Mythology Marena (Marana, Morena, Marjane, Margina), as the PERSONIFICATION OF DEATH IS ASSOCIATED WITH SEASONAL RITUALS OF DYING AND RESURRECTION OF THE NATURE.
And the Ancient Authors who speak about the Deities of the Slavs draw a parallel between the Goddess Marena and the Ancient Greek Goddesses Hecate and Demeter, who Grant both Death and Fertility.

In contrast to her sister Jiva— the Goddess of Life , and to Yarilo— the God of the Spring Sun, MARENA PERSONIFIES THE VICTORY OF MARA — THE "DEAD WATER" (the Will to Death), that is, the FORCES OPPOSING THE LIFE-GIVING FORCES.
But the DEATH that comes with MARENA, is not a complete interruption of the Currents of Life, it is only a TRANSITION TO ANOTHER LIFE, TO A NEW BEGINNING, because the Almighty God Rod made that THE SPRING COMES AFTER THE WINTER, WHICH TAKES EVERYTHING OBSOLETE WITH IT!

In the Hands of the Sisters Mara and Jiva are all the THREADS OF FATE AND LIFE! However, if JIVA tries to Extend and Strengthen these Threads, then MARA HAD TO CONTROL THEIR END.
The Goddess of Death plays a very Important Role in the Worldview of the Slavs and in existing Holidays and Rituals!
Yes, MARENA IS THE PERSONIFICATION OF DEATH, BUT DEATH IS ALSO A CHANGE!
As well as the change of Night Darkness to the Light of the Day, of the Cold Winter to Spring Heat and etc.
MARENA - IS THE PERSONIFICATION OF THE FATE, THE EMBODIMENT OF PART OF THE CYCLE OF LIFE.
It was she, MARA-MARENA WHO CUT THE THREAD OF HUMAN LIFE!

MARA —IS THE PUNISHING FORM OF THE GODDESS!
SHE DOESN’T TOLERATE THE DIRT OF THE SOUL AND WHEN SOMEONE "TELLS LIE" , AND THIS IS SHE WHO GUARDS THE CLEAN SPACE OF LIFE OF IT!
AND THEREFORE, SHE IS THE GODDESS VEDA—WHO KNOWS WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE SOULS OF EVERYONE!
To the mentally "stinking" people, She sends the whole "pack of vices" and "pack of troubles" — her dark servants.

Cutting the Thread of life to people MARA-MARENA GIVES HOPE FOR A NEW INCARNATION.
And for those who during their lives became a FEARLESS HERO, WHO SERVED THEIR GODS AND THEIR GENUS FAITHFULLY, MARENA GIVES AN IMMORTAL KISS, THAT IS SHE GIVES THE BREATH OF ETERNITY INTO THEM, THUS GRANTING THE IMMORTALITY TO THEM!
Marena takes them by the hand and FAREWELL THEM TO THE GLITTERING HALLS OF THE MAGICAL IRIY (IRIY is the Ancient name of PARADISE in Slavic Mythology).

On This Day people Honor, Praise and Remember the GODDESS, which one day will farewell them over the BOTTOMLESS RIVER SMORODINA, SEPARATING THE WORLDS OF YAV AND NAV (the World of the Living and the World of the Dead), OVER THE KALINOV BRIDGE, WHICH IS GUARDED BY THE THREE-HEADED SERPENT TO THE GATE of the black, cold and unknown NAV where is HER HOME !

This Day is a HOLIDAY OF THE THRESHOLDS, which are personified by the KALINOV BRIDGE and MARENA IS HONORED AS A GUIDE OF THE SOULS TO THE AFTERLIFE! ...
But the Mistress of Death, of Nav, of Winter and Frosts— the Goddess Marena, on the Day of Spring Arrival, gives way to a Sunny and early Spring, and on this Holiday , the Goddess Opens and Illuminates the Path to the Bright God Yarilo.

The Day of Worship of Marena is also called THE DAY OF NAV or VYUNITSA — AS A HOLIDAY-THE CULT OF VENERATION OF THE SPIRITS OF THE DEAD!
These SPIRITS were called NAVII, and with the coming of March, the Slavs began Ritual Visits to the graves with an offering of Treba.
VYUNITSA, AS THE DAY OF MEMORY OF THE DEAD, REFLECTED BY ITS ANCIENT ESSENCE THIS CELEBRATION — AS THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD!
And today, people bring TREBA to the dead — the Offerings.
When the Slavs buried their relatives, they "created" the so-called TRIZNA: they laid Treba and Made Ritual Libations, and on this Day they brought Treba to the dead in the Water, saying:

PLEASE ACCEPT EVERYTHING-OH, LORD
ACCEPT THE GREAT TREBA FROM OUR GENUS
THE HONEST AND PLENTIFUL TREBA
THE NICE AND MIGHTY TREBA
[AS OUR ANCESTORS DID AND
WHAT THEY COMMANDED TO US TO DO!]
BLESS OUR LAND!
GOY! GLORY!

SHINE, SHINE, SUNSHINE!
I'LL GIVE YOU AN EGG,
AS A HEN WILL GIVE IT IN THE OAK GROVE,
TAKE IT TO THE PARADISE,
LET IT REJOICE ALL THE SOULS.

The Offerings are brought INTO THE WATER, SO THAT THE WATER WOULD CARRY THEM TO THE LOVED ONES , TO THE RELATIVES AND ANCESTORS , WHO HAVE GONE INTO NAV! Also, the shell of an egg was thrown into the water so it would swim to Nav, and by the Mermaid Day, even those dead, about whom everyone has already forgotten, would learn about the Spring:

WATER-WATER, THE SISTER OF NAV,
YOU RUSH THROUGH THE WOODS, THROUGH THE ROOTS,
BRING MY TREBA TO THE ANCESTORS FOR DINNER.

The Treba of the Slavs – is a food, household items, but only those that are made with your own hands. From food and drink, these are: kutya, pies, rolls, pancakes, cheesecakes, colored eggs, wine, beer, Braga.
Today, people invite their Dead Loved Ones, Relatives and all their Ancestors to the table and also people visit their graves.

The Celts also celebrated This Day very similarly. The Holiday began at Noon, and Bread with Solar Symbols was baked. The Druids painted eggs in the red color in Honor of the Sun, using the flowers of the gorse or the root of the moraine for this.
This was a SYMBOL OF THE CYCLICAL REBIRTH, as a living creature appeared from an inanimate egg.
The Red egg-shells were thrown into rivers to swim to the shores of the BLESSED ISLAND, bringing with them the news that the SUN AND THE SEASON OF REBIRTH HAD RETURNED!

As you can see, Friends, in order to Meet the Spring, it is necessary to start with the Farewell of Winter, and in order to get the Desired New, you need to remember what and who had passed away...
Our Ancestors knew this and kept this Natural Order of Things. And today we, not forgetting their Wisdom, farewell the Winter till the next year, saying Thanks for all the Days of the Life of these Three Months, and remember with Love those who had left our lives.. And tomorrow, we are entering a Renewed Year and a Renewed Life!
And we Wish you from the Bottom of our Hearts that all the Renewals would bring you a lot of Happiness and Warmth, as well as the coming Spring!

🕊Yours Venera Way! 🕊
