    ZMEY. Of the Spirit Who Loved Mortal Women | Slavic Legends s1e51

    Hearken unto the secret of a forbidden love for a mortal maiden, and of fiery dragons that do battle in the night sky. – – – – – Pray, bestow a coffee for the tale ☕ https://buycoffee.to/legendy More legends 🎥 https://youtube.com/@MagiaSlowian – – – – – THE LEGEND OF THE ZMEY Olden shepherds do say that ere man did plow the first field, the wild mountains held their lord. And his name was Zmey, who hailed straight from the misty peaks of the Rhodopes. Know ye then a creature that possessed two visages, altogether unalike. Yet he sought neither gold nor bloody sacrifice. Hidden by day, by night he would descend unto the Slavic villages in the guise of a fair youth. The Zmey sought neither gold nor blood offerings. His heart yearned for the love of an earthly maiden, and when he met her, he did encompass her with mighty warding. When through the darkwood she walked, even the bloodthirsty wolves would fall silent at once. Hearken unto the tale that the storyteller Małgorzata doth recount, and know how the olden myths did explain the ruinous forces of nature. When the cruel demons of hail drew near, the defender of men would soar high into the heavens. His mortal vessel would shatter like a brittle shell, unleashing a fiery beast of three heads. For a true warden doth not forsake his subjects in their hour of need. Even if in bloody fray, as in that with the wicked, many-headed beast named Lamia, he were to lay down his earthly life. 00:00 Of the two visages of the lord of the Rhodopes 00:55 How in the night he went forth for his chosen maiden 01:33 Of the guarding of the realm and the driving away of black clouds 02:14 When into a fiery lamia for defense he did transform 03:06 Of the fair Mila, who stood at the shadow's side 03:38 Of the bloody night battle with a fell monster 04:15 The guardian's last words and his turning unto the wind #Zmey #SlavicPantheon #SlavicLegends – – – – – 🎼 music: Angevin - Thatched Villagers  🎻 composer: Kevin MacLeod 📄 Creative Commons 4.0 license 🔗 source: incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1200110 🛠️ editing & production: Bartłomiej Dwornik – – – – – The Slavic Legends podcast In this series, we tell ancient lore, myths, and folktales passed down by word of mouth through generations.

    RODOVYNY. How the Slavic Baptism Looked in Days of Yore | Slavic Legends s1e50

    Three spirits weave the child's fate by the cradle. Listen well to what the red yarn upon the threshold and the bath with a silver coin did signify. – – – – – Pray, bestow a coffee for the tale ☕ https://buycoffee.to/legendy More legends 🎥 https://youtube.com/@MagiaSlowian – – – – – THE LEGEND OF RODOVYNY The olden beliefs do tell that the mamuny do but wait for a little babe, that they might do it harm. Then must the wise woman perform her rites. She must cast mugwort and juniper into the fire, and drive away the evil powers with the smoke. Thus begins the wondrous rite of rodovyny. Rodovyny is an ancient rite, which doth tightly bind the kin. The father wraps the threshold in red wool, whilst at midnight bread, honey, and milk are set upon the table. The Rozhanitsy and the god Rod do arrive in silence, to write the child's fate and ward it against the mamuny. On the seventh day, the sacred bath of the newborn came to pass. Into the water went chamomile, oak leaves, a silver coin, and an egg for the vigor of life. 'Twas pure magic and the wisdom of nature, which our forefathers did fiercely revere. Listen well, as the storyteller Małgorzata doth speak of olden traditions. Of reverence for one's roots, the secrets of the Slavic chamber, and customs of centuries past. Let the ancient fire burn away the dread, and may wisdom grant ye strength. 00:00 Of the ancient custom and the breath of the god Rod 00:38 How in the deep of night the woman labored 01:40 Of the warding of the threshold against spirits 01:58 When at midnight the three Rozhanitsy arrive 02:40 Of the sacred bath and herbs from the mother 03:48 How the wise woman raised the babe unto the sun 04:28 Of the evening feast and everlasting memory #Rodovyny #SlavicMythology #SlavicLegends – – – – – 🎼 music: Angevin - Thatched Villagers  🎻 composer: Kevin MacLeod 📄 Creative Commons 4.0 license 🔗 source: incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1200110 🛠️ editing & production: Bartłomiej Dwornik – – – – – The Slavic Legends podcast In this series, we tell ancient lore, myths, and folktales passed down by word of mouth through generations.

    DEVANA. The Birth of Nature's Warden | Slavic Legends s1e49

    Darest thou enter the thicket, where mortal voices fall silent in dread of the unknown? Listen then unto the legend of the lady of the woods. – – – – – Pray, bestow a coffee for the tale ☕ https://buycoffee.to/legendy More legends 🎥 https://youtube.com/@MagiaSlowian – – – – – THE LEGEND OF DEVANA There, where the path of man doth end, begins the realm of profound silence. In the darksome heart of the wildwood, amidst the mists, the great lady of wild nature was born. Ere she gained a visage and a voice, she was but the rustle of leaves and the chill of the morn. Men felt her breath when they ventured too deep into the thicket. Fear and humility brought it to pass that a mighty name was bestowed upon her at last. Devana. Listen well of the days when the forest hunted alongside its wardens. And of why the ancient Slavic mythology sought not deities high in the heavens, but within the earth itself. Of the birth of the sovereign of the woods. Of the wild Lady with hair like unto tangled branches, whose eyes gleamed as the moonlight upon the water. She had no need of weapons, for the whole of the wilderness was her faithful servant. 'Twas the words of men that called her into being. A goddess. The true queen of shadows. The tales of yore told by the hearth-fire gave warning of her wrath, yet also taught reverence for nature. Bear ye this ancient tradition in mind, for the earth was never empty. 00:00 Of deep shadows and questions of the lady of the wildwood 00:23 How the nameless wildness stood upon the marches 00:53 Of trembling hands and sylvan might 01:32 How they beheld the warden in the thicket 01:49 Of her wondrous form and the forest that hunts through her 02:24 How humble gifts and songs were offered before her 03:01 Of the birth of Devana from the living memory of men #Devana #SlavicPantheon #SlavicLegends – – – – – 🎼 music: Angevin - Thatched Villagers  🎻 composer: Kevin MacLeod 📄 Creative Commons 4.0 license 🔗 source: incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1200110 🛠️ editing & production: Bartłomiej Dwornik – – – – – The Slavic Legends podcast In this series, we tell ancient lore, myths, and folktales passed down by word of mouth through generations.

    PROVE. A Tale of the Sacred Grove and the Stone of Judgment | Slavic Legends s1e48

    Listen well of Prove, god of the Polabian Slavs. He doth see more than mortal man, and his law may not be broken. – – – – – Pray, bestow a coffee for the tale ☕ https://buycoffee.to/legendy More legends 🎥 https://youtube.com/@MagiaSlowian – – – – – THE LEGEND OF PROVE AND THE STONE OF JUDGMENT In days of yore, when the oaks did rustle upon the marches of Wagria, folk whispered in dread that 'twas a realm closed unto liars. 'Twas there that Prove, the judge of the gods, did wield his might. Today, this ancient legend doth awaken anew. Ye shall come to know the tale of a feud over land betwixt the warrior Kate and the wise Mirona, who did listen unto the whispers of the earth. The darksome oak grove doth guard the truth. The beliefs of the Polabian Slavs did show that there is no fleeing from the truth. The holy wildwood beholds every trespass, and the trees do guard laws older than the race of men. When a wrathful man accused a woman of the theft of his patrimony, Prove himself, the lord of justice, did pass an unyielding judgment. In the thicket of the wildwood, the stone of judgment gleamed with a cold radiance. The air did tremble, and visions of times past were revealed unto the eyes of the feuding folk. What great secret of a saved life did bind these kindreds together? This tale doth the storyteller Małgorzata recount for ye. For the ancient Slavic mythology doth hide a great teaching, which doth teach us reverence unto this day. 00:00 Of the Polabian land and the sacred grove of Prove 00:43 Of the smooth stone that shall betray all falsehood 01:11 How a mighty warrior waged a feud with a woman 01:53 Of the breath of Prove that visited the grove as a shadow 02:35 Of a strange vision and the gift of a grateful father 03:41 Of prideful blindness and stern wrath 04:11 When the sacred earth did speak its judgment #Prove #StoneOfJudgment #SlavicPantheon #SlavicLegends – – – – – 🎼 music: Angevin - Thatched Villagers  🎻 composer: Kevin MacLeod 📄 Creative Commons 4.0 license 🔗 source: incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1200110 🛠️ editing & production: Bartłomiej Dwornik – – – – – The Slavic Legends podcast In this series, we tell ancient lore, myths, and folktales passed down by word of mouth through generations.

    ASPEN AND HAZEL. The Mysterious Test of the Goddess Mokosh | Slavic Legends s1e47

    Thus did the goddess Mokosh write the fate of two trees upon the forest's edge. Who knows, if thou beholdest them, perchance thou shalt hear the echo of this ancient trial... – – – – – Pray, bestow a coffee for the tale ☕ https://buycoffee.to/legendy More legends 🎥 https://youtube.com/@MagiaSlowian – – – – – THE LEGEND OF THE ASPEN AND THE HAZEL There are ancient mysteries in this world, hidden by the whispering wildwood. When trees yet had names, the mighty goddess Mokosh did weave the fates of the earth. Side by side there grew two neighbors. The proud aspen did prize her beauty and lofty stature. The humble hazel kept close unto the earth, giving shade unto wanderers. When a stern tempest drew near, the time of trial had come. Why doth the aspen tremble in dread, whilst the hazel is never struck by lightning? Listen well, how pride doth bring forth everlasting doom. A mother did once flee into the wilderness before a storm, clasping a defenseless babe unto her breast. The haughty tree cast the mother out, fearing for its fair leaves. Only the humble neighbor, the hazel, opened its arms, forming a living shelter. It fed the woman with nuts and rustled a lullaby. The mighty Mokosh beheld this, and for all ages she decreed the fate of both trees. For its selfishness and pride, the aspen was punished with eternal dread. It doth tremble without end unto this day, even when the wind falls dead away. She bestowed a blessing upon the goodly hazel, that no lightning bolt should ever strike it. Listen well, as the storyteller Małgorzata doth speak of the secrets of the wilderness, and of how Slavic myths did condemn a heart devoid of mercy. 00:00 Of the ancient grove and the dominion of Mokosh 00:41 How the great mother did weigh the hearts of trees 01:27 Of the prideful aspen and the humble hazel 02:16 A stern tempest brought forth the time of trial 03:01 How the haughty tree did spurn the pleas 03:48 Of the goddess's wrath and the everlasting trembling 04:34 A blessing for the faithful hazel #Aspen #Hazel #SlavicMythology #SlavicLegends – – – – – 🎼 music: Angevin - Thatched Villagers  🎻 composer: Kevin MacLeod 📄 Creative Commons 4.0 license 🔗 source: incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1200110 🛠️ editing & production: Bartłomiej Dwornik – – – – – The Slavic Legends podcast In this series, we tell ancient lore, myths, and folktales passed down by word of mouth through generations.

    DWARVES of Gubin. They Were Here Before Men | Slavic Legends s1e46

    The folk of the river Nysa know this legend. Of little beings that come forth from beneath the earth by night. Whoso breaketh their ancient pact, a stern doom shall befall him. – – – – – Pray, bestow a coffee for the tale ☕ https://buycoffee.to/legendy More legends 🎥 https://youtube.com/@MagiaSlowian – – – – – THE LEGEND OF THE DWARVES OF GUBIN There be great mysteries in this world, of which young peasants have not dreamt. Ere the first men came unto the river Nysa, a hidden life did throb beneath the layer of clay. Ancient, little creatures did dwell there. Mysterious beings, that heard the growing of roots and felt the trembling of pure water. They guarded the earthly order with devotion, lest the dampness should ruin the woods. The folk of yore by the Nysa swiftly grasped that they were not alone in the wilderness. Tools left behind did shift their place of their own accord, and the dead fire smoldered pale in the night. One time they understood why. From out the thick darkness came little, stout figures. Subterranean beings, that desired neither mortal dwellings nor gold. They demanded naught but a morsel of sustenance and holy silence. Thus was born a pact that none ever set down in writing. Whoso gave them bread in silence, his earth was lighter to dig, and his toil went briskly. Yet woe betide them who brought great clamor and pride unto these parts! This legend of the dwarves of Gubin, enshrouded in the gloom of ages, doth bring to mind the ancient beliefs of the Slavs. And they do hide the great wisdom of our forebears. And they explain why the elders still leave crumbs of sustenance before their homesteads ere nightfall. Bear thou the ancient pact in mind, and listen well as the storyteller Małgorzata doth speak of that which lurks upon the edge of the firelight. 00:00 Of the ancient order hidden beneath the roots of trees 00:43 How little beings did guard the earthly order 01:30 Of the coming of men and marvels by the pale embers 02:19 When little figures peered from the dark toward the hearth-fire 03:34 Of silent parley and the demand for holy silence 04:20 Of stern doom for denial and the boons of the pact 05:20 How the name of the Dwarves and their memory remained in Gubin #Dwarves #Gubin #SlavicBestiary #SlavicLegends – – – – – 🎼 music: Angevin - Thatched Villagers  🎻 composer: Kevin MacLeod 📄 Creative Commons 4.0 license 🔗 source: incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1200110 🛠️ editing & production: Bartłomiej Dwornik – – – – – The Slavic Legends podcast In this series, we tell ancient lore, myths, and folktales passed down by word of mouth through generations.

    DAZHBOG. He Who Guides the Sun Across the Sky | Slavic Legends s1e45

    Ancient Dazhbog, god of the sun, doth bring unto men everlasting bounty. Know thou the Slavic myth of hope and the secret of the meteorite. – – – – – Pray, bestow a coffee for the tale ☕ https://buycoffee.to/legendy More legends 🎥 https://youtube.com/@MagiaSlowian – – – – – THE LEGEND OF DAZHBOG In days of yore, when the world did awaken from fierce chaos, the first wondrous radiance flared within the forge of Svarog. From this uncommon heat was born a mighty god with a heart as burning as life itself. Dazhbog. A youth who brought unto the tribes of men the promise of a bright day. Great Svarog did forge a starry shield from a meteorite, which did blind the demons of the night. Yet the earth was still barren. Dazhbog, lord of the sun, set forth then into the depths of the wildwood. There he waged a stern battle with the Primeval Aurochs and ended this strife in victory. From the beast's flesh sprang forth straightway the first golden grain, and from its horn flowed mead and bounty unto men. At the last, the god received a heavenly chariot and twain fiery steeds. Without fear he harnessed these beasts and ordained the first course of the year. Today doth Dazhbog traverse the heavens each day, bearing hope unto mankind. This Slavic tale doth unveil the wisdom of bygone ages. And the ancient song is told with great mastery for ye by the storyteller Małgorzata. 00:00 Of the first dawn within the forge of Svarog 00:45 How the young god awoke from the bright fire 01:34 Of the forging of the shield that blindeth dark hags 02:13 The lord of light did battle with the Primeval Aurochs 02:54 Of the wondrous horn of plenty and the blossoming of the earth 03:35 How the god did harness steeds of fire unto the heavens 04:21 Of the eternal chariot and the memory that fadeth not #Dazhbog #SlavicPantheon #SlavicLegends – – – – – 🎼 music: Angevin - Thatched Villagers  🎻 composer: Kevin MacLeod 📄 Creative Commons 4.0 license 🔗 source: incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1200110 🛠️ editing & production: Bartłomiej Dwornik – – – – – The Slavic Legends podcast In this series, we tell ancient lore, myths, and folktales passed down by word of mouth through generations.

    KRESNIK. Slavic Monster Slayer | Slavic Legends s1e44

    Behold how ancient Kresnik, god of fire, saved the mortal harvest from the demons. Hearken unto the Slavic myth of the great battle against the lady of storms and vampires. – – – – – Pray, bestow a coffee for the tale ☕ https://buycoffee.to/legendy More legends 🎥 https://youtube.com/@MagiaSlowian – – – – – THE LEGEND OF KRESNIK When fear and darkness lay upon homesteads, Kresnik alone, the god of fire, bringeth salvation. With a spear he smiteth night monsters and can melt the fierce hail. This forgotten mythology of the southern Slavs concealeth eternal truths of the struggle between light and darkness. And it discovereth the mystery of why to this day the St. John's fire burneth upon the hills. Once upon a time Slavic fields bore golden grain, and fat herds grazed safely in the valleys. The peasants knew no harsh hunger, and their life flowed in great peace. But unexpectedly the eternal night arrived, refusing to recede. From the dense gloom crawled forth the creatures of the night. These monsters drank blood and milk from the cattle, leaving the beasts without strength. The cruel serpentine demon took the shepherds' breath away in sleep, and from the black clouds struck Hala, mistress of storms and hail. The severe frost broke the crops, and rivers swelled destroying human property. The terrified people had already lost all hope. Then did the elders kindle the holy pyre upon the highest hill. From the great fire stepped forth the defender. Mighty Kresnik, god of fire. His eyes were bright as the summer sun, and upon his brow he bore the sign of the flame. Bend then your ear to our audio drama, which revealeth these ancient deeds. The tale is told with great artistry for you by the Storyteller Małgorzata. Pray thee bestow a thumb up upon her therefore. 00:00 Of glorious Kresnik, who is master of fire 00:46 How dark phantoms began to oppress the livestock 01:24 When fierce Hala sent down ice and tempest 02:03 About the kindling of the holy pyre for salvation 02:38 How the fiery warrior vanquished the night hags 03:46 Of the dawning of bright summer and the choosing of the king 04:17 How living memory abideth in the St. John's flame #Kresnik #SlavicGods #SlavicLegends – – – – – 🎼 music: Angevin - Thatched Villagers  🎻 composer: Kevin MacLeod 📄 Creative Commons 4.0 license 🔗 source: incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1200110 🛠️ editing & production: Bartłomiej Dwornik – – – – – The Slavic Legends podcast In this series, we tell ancient lore, myths, and folktales passed down by word of mouth through generations.

    MISERY. The Demon of Destitution that You Had to Invite | Slavic Legends s1e43

    Behold the legend of a creature that feedeth not upon an empty pot, but upon an empty soul. It dwelleth not where there is lack, but where a man shutteth the world from himself. – – – – – Pray, bestow a coffee for the tale ☕ https://buycoffee.to/legendy More legends 🎥 https://youtube.com/@MagiaSlowian – – – – – THE LEGEND OF MISERY (BEDA) She appeared long ago, even in the days when smoke from hearths ascended by a straight path to the heavens, and men spake more with the earth than with one another. 'Twas then she wandered through villages and across the field-boundaries. Not in the bright day, but at dusk, when human thought groweth frail. This is Misery (Beda). The demon of destitution, who stood at the threshold and waited. And whosoever invited her with lamentation, grumbling, or a covetous gaze upon another's goods, into their chamber she entered without knocking. She possessed not a single form. To some she appeared as a woman, withered and stooped, in ragged garb. To others as a wayside stone, some small beast, or another trifling object, so that it might intrigue a man and he would bear it across his threshold. As the ancient Slavic legend proclaimeth, wherever Misery tread, there the bread hardened, the grain rotted, and the hearts of men turned to stone. The Storyteller Małgorzata telleth today a tale of the demon of destitution and woe, which feedeth not upon an empty pot, but upon an empty soul. It dwelleth not where there is lack, but where a man shutteth the world from himself. Beware then of Misery, for she is quiet and patient. But beware even more of doubt, for it openeth the doors unto her. 00:00 Who Misery was and how she might be recognized 01:01 What the demon of misery lay in wait for 01:31 How misfortune was drawn into the cottage 01:52 Of Miłostek, who was consumed by envy 02:33 How the will to live fled because of Misery 03:44 Of a poor widow who drove Miseryaway 04:33 Not upon an empty pot doth Misery feed #Misery #Beda #SlavicDemons #SlavicBestiary #SlavicLegends – – – – – 🎼 music: Angevin - Thatched Villagers  🎻 composer: Kevin MacLeod 📄 Creative Commons 4.0 license 🔗 source: incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1200110 🛠️ editing & production: Bartłomiej Dwornik – – – – – The Slavic Legends podcast In this series, we tell ancient lore, myths, and folktales passed down by word of mouth through generations.
