The Domain Of Meru To the Bogi (gods) our domain is know as Yav, but to us mortals it is Meru. A land slowly expanding into the aether of the cosmos. With its view of the World Tree’s branches, we know how special our place is in the universe. We are both blessed and cursed to live among the gods themselves. Let me give you a quick tour, if I may. The lands bordering the aether are the Obid. A land where Bogi make their homes, and brave heroes attempt to carve out their own domains and become Knyaz or Tsars immortalized in poetry and song. You too may desire a stronghold of your own, why not one with a divine neighbor? The ocean, Zhyttya Okeanu, holds five domains: Trypilia, Rozdollya, Sertse, Vishau Zemli and Povitrya. The islands of Trypilia sit motionless, centered between winter and summer, while the others travel around them over the course of the year. One can find adventures of all kinds among these lands: Eco-friendly excursions, wild kazyno nights, treasure hunting, spelunking, undead and demon hunting and quest for lost Rod, the All Father created Prav, the heavens that hold our sun and three moons. He planted wisdom to name a few. the World Tree whose leaves are home to numerous other realms. He birthed his sons and daughters, our bogs (gods), and bid them to “create something.” So, are your bags packed? What are you waiting for? See one our talented referees and book your next adventure or vacation immediately! Before someone else visits So under the shade of the World tree his first son Svarog brought forth Yav, or as we named it: and has the experience you were looking for. Meru. He began with life giving ocean’s, then raised lands around it to keep the waters from spilling out into the cosmos. He raised mountains, planted forests for shade and sowed fields for food. Lastly, he created Nav, an underworld to house the mortal souls he knew would have nowhere to go when they died. Then admiring his work he bid his younger siblings to make homes of their own there and fill it with life. And so they did, each adding something of themselves to this new domain. And for a time things were good. What Svarog did not see was that his new realm had cast a shadow over the base of the World Tree. In this shade, a dark and evil serpent born at the creation of the cosmos, Rods opposite, had what it needed to grow and scheme. It began to whisper corrupt thoughts to any of Rods sons and daughters who would listen. First among these was Chernobog, the lord of winter. He resented his place and despised the mortals worship of him driven only by their desire to be rid of him. He recruited other bogs who felt they to deserved a more respectful lot, especially those who had been tasked with keeping track of perished mortal souls in the underworld of Nav. He recruited the most powerful mortals and gifted them a kind of immortality. Then, he set about conquering Meru. His opposite, Belbog the lord of summer, rose up and opposed this affront. Many battles ravaged the lands, but in the end Chernobog was defeated when Svarog intervened and defeated the great serpent behind the chaos. Chernobog went back to his home in the east, while Belbog retired to the west. Now each watches the other and works in Meru through heroes, villains, witches and tsars.

Abstract The article provides an overview of descriptions of total solar eclipses in different literature forms, rites and toponyms of Slavs. It is shown that the solar eclipse had a prominent role in the worldview of the tribes. Explanations of some terms of Slavic outlook are given with suggestions for the correct terminology. A program for further investigation in Slavic and other people’s culture is proposed. Keywords: Total solar eclipse; Archeoastronomy; Mythology; Slavs; Character 'Akhet' (Figure 2) should be translated as 'eclipse' instead of Akhet; Myth of creation of the world; Myth of end of the world; 'horizon'. Then the next well-known text obtains a simple explanation.

  • MAN in NATURE Pre-Christian Eastern Slavic Reflections on Nature
    MAN IN NATURE Pre-Christian Eastern Slavic Reflections on Nature Molly Kaushal What follows is a simple account of how, in earlier times, the Eastern Slavs, particularly the pre-Christian Russians, interacted with nature. Pre-Christian slavic religion was mainly based on nature worship. Fire, Earth and Water figured prominently in its beliefs and ritual practices. The forces of nature were personified, feared, and revered, and the Slavs developed a whole pantheon of gods and goddesses. However, the three main gods of their pantheon were linked together not in a hierarchical way, but in a mutually complementary way, where each was incomplete without the other. A whole cycle of rituals revolved around various forces of nature and their personified images. The arrival of Christianity as the official religion and the establishment of the Russian Orthodox Church culminated in the banning of many folk ritual practices which were pre-Christian in origin, and in the persecution of those who practised them. Yet, a complete annihilation of earlier beliefs and practices could never be accomplished. Pre- Christian beliefs and gods exerted such a strong influence upon the Russian mind that the only way to come to terms with them was through incorporating them in the mainstream of the Christian order. Water, Fire, and the Mother Earth Goddess were, and have remained, the most powerful images of Russian religious beliefs and practices, and folk memory has remained loyal to the personified and non- personified images of these elements. According to some scholars, Rusi, or Russians as we call them, have their origins in the word Roce.

One of these countries metaphorically "cut off the arms and legs" of the other in an 1893 border conflict that began after Inspector Grosgurin was killed. After converting to Catholicism, Constantine Phaulkon was a go-between for these countries. During World War II, a conflict between these two nations was instigated by Field Marshall Phibun's desire to gain back control of provinces like Sisophon and saw a naval battle Koh Chang. A 1688 coup in one of these countries ousted troops from the other and installed King Phetracha; two years earlier, one of these nations seized control of the other's ports of Mergui and Bangkok.

  • Mythical Spirits of the Volga-Ural Forests
    Acta Orientalia Academiae Scientiarum Hung. Volume 71 (1), 45 – 69 (2018) DOI: 10.1556/062.2018.71.1.4 ARÇURA/ŞÜRÄLE: MYTHICAL SPIRITS OF THE VOLGA-URAL FORESTS RUSTEM SULTEEV 49B Cowper Gardens, Southgate, London N14 4NS, UK e-mail: [email protected] Folk beliefs, which have their source in history, culture and geography, are among the most signifi- cant factors determining the identity and characteristic features of a people. In Tatar and Chuvash folk literature myths about mythological beings are often stories written in prose, describing su- pernatural creatures and spirits. These stories describe “encounters” between humans on the one hand and various mythological creatures, on the other. Among these Arçura/Şüräle is a Forest Spirit which has a very significant role in folk narratives of not only the Tatars and the Chuvash, but widely in the folk culture of other Volga-Ural peoples. These mythological beliefs help people of the Volga- Ural region perceive themselves as a part of the universe. In this paper, the etymology of the word Arçura/Şüräle is investigated; then its characteristics and its comparison with some other neighbour- ing Volga-Ural Finno-Ugrian and shamanic Turkic-Mongol spirits are examined. Key words: mythology, Forest Spirit, Şüräle, Arçura, Tatar folk narratives, Chuvash folk narratives. Introduction Folk beliefs, which have their source in history, culture, and geography, are among the most significant factors determining the identity and characteristics of a people. These beliefs which carry traces of paganism, above all show peoples’ ways of think- ing, traditional ties with the environment and nature in early ages, whilst each ethnic group has its own type of myths and beliefs related to mythical creatures.

  • The Slavic Vampire Myth in Russian Literature
    From Upyr’ to Vampir: The Slavic Vampire Myth in Russian Literature Dorian Townsend Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Languages and Linguistics Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences The University of New South Wales May 2011 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Townsend First name: Dorian Other name/s: Aleksandra PhD, Russian Studies Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: School: Languages and Linguistics Faculty: Arts and Social Sciences Title: From Upyr’ to Vampir: The Slavic Vampire Myth in Russian Literature Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) The Slavic vampire myth traces back to pre-Orthodox folk belief, serving both as an explanation of death and as the physical embodiment of the tragedies exacted on the community. The symbol’s broad ability to personify tragic events created a versatile system of imagery that transcended its folkloric derivations into the realm of Russian literature, becoming a constant literary device from eighteenth century to post-Soviet fiction. The vampire’s literary usage arose during and after the reign of Catherine the Great and continued into each politically turbulent time that followed. The authors examined in this thesis, Afanasiev, Gogol, Bulgakov, and Lukyanenko, each depicted the issues and internal turmoil experienced in Russia during their respective times. By employing the common mythos of the vampire, the issues suggested within the literature are presented indirectly to the readers giving literary life to pressing societal dilemmas. The purpose of this thesis is to ascertain the vampire’s function within Russian literary societal criticism by first identifying the shifts in imagery in the selected Russian vampiric works, then examining how the shifts relate to the societal changes of the different time periods.
