"Nowhere you can go is more peaceful — more free of interruptions — than your own soul." - Marcus Aurelius.
The sacred healing space, the cosmic centre, the "spiritual" centre, the fountain of youth, the source of immortality, is right here & now.
Daily reminder that every society has its own mythology. When agriculture arrived in Europe the myths developed around it, and the vegetative cycle of the crops was mythologised. The essence of course always remained the same - reincarnation.
Daily reminder that the Slavic god Triglav is NOT a fusion of three Gods, akin to the Holy Trinity. He is Veles - the bear; dragon; the ancestor. His realm is Trojan town (cf. Troy) - the womb/mound. His three heads are the three pregnancies & stages of rebirth, but also time.
Reminder that Christianity in Europe is just paint over a pagan surface which we SHOULD remove today. The myths of Gods became myths of saints and heroes because it was the only way to PRESERVE them. The essence is the same.

@odelsarven We have the same tale, which i illustrated a long time ago. The only digital illustration i made. With slight variations of course. The North wind lives beyond 7 lakes and mountains, he gives him a table, instead of tablecloth, a bag and a stick. .-)
This could be the case, but there is not enough evidence to prove it. It is not impossible, and if we consider it to be the case, then the account of Pseudo - Caesarius would imply that there were some pan-tribal groupings of young warriors which have passed such an initiation.
...own tribe than to be enslaved and submit to Roman laws, nor have they received the sacrament of the baptism of the Savior until our
time, in this case giving way to some extent in the practice of their ancient freedom".
Slava Perunu!
