In Slavic mythology, Dodola is the wife of the thunder god Perun, & the goddess associated with harvest & autumn rain. When she milks her celestial cows, the clouds, it rains on earth. She can control lightning & uses it to punish those who mistreat women.#FolkloreThursday🎨Hieu

Writing on 'analogue' #drone art as part of my @AestheticsDrone project. These paintings by elin o'Hara slavick, Mahwish Chishty, & @brimblecombe are esp. interesting in the way they disrupt the aerial view, 'encode' aspects of drone violence, & compel the viewer to look closer.

VAMPIRES & WEREWOLVES. In Slavic lore the #werewolf is closely related to the #vampire. VUKODLAK, Serbo-Croatian vampire, means 'wolf's hair'. VYRKOLAKA is a Greek term for either vampire or werewolf; werewolves can become vampires after death #mythologymonday
Early Slavic houses differ from Germanic longhouses by being small, made for one family, whereas the longhouse can shelter the whole kin. These architectural differences can be traced to the Neolithic period of Western and South-Eastern Europe.

#FolkloreThursday The Slavic believed that the Vodyanoy was born from the spirit of an unbaptised man who committed suicide, and thusis terrified of holy waters. As a result, people believed they could protect themselves from his evil ways by blessing any watering holes.

"The Family of the Vourdalak" is a novella by Alexei Tolstoy. The word "Vourdalak" was referenced by Pushkin referring to #vampires or werewolves from Slavic folklore. The novella became the basis for "I Wurdulak", one of the 3 parts of "Black Sabbath" https://t.co/SOJyWUUVLo

Lady Midday, or Poludnitsa, is a slavic demon associated with heatstroke. She appears before workers in fields, asks them riddles, and chops off their heads/drives them insane. Typical gal things.
