Hel The Norse Goddess Of The Dead Image
HEL IS THE NORSE GODDESS OF THE UNDERWORLD KINGDOM OF HELHEIM. SHE IS THE DARK HAG WHO WALKS THE LINE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH AND THINS THE VEIL BETWEEN THE WORLDS. SHE PRESIDED OVER THE DEAD, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO WERE KILLED IN BATTLE. THOSE WHO DIED HEROICALLY IN BATTLE ENDED UP IN VALHALLA, THE HALL OF HEROES. THE LEGEND GOES THAT WITH A SIMPLE WAVE OF HER HAND SHE COULD CAUSE DISEASE, DECAY, AND DEATH. SHE WAS THE DAUGHTER YOUNGEST CHILD OF THE THE TRICKSTER GOD, LOKI AND THE EVIL GIANTESS WHO WAS CALLED ANGERBODA. HER BROTHERS WERE FERRIS (THE EVIL GIANT WOLF) AND JORMUNGARD (THE MIDGARD SERPENT). IT WAS HEL WHO GIFTED ODIN WITH HIS TWIN RAVENS OF PROPHESY AND WISDOM.

HEL HAD QUITE A DISTURBING APPEARANCE, AN UGLY HALF-DEAD HAG WITH GANGRENE LEGS AND A HIDEOUS FACE. IT IS SAID THAT SHE IS BOTH BLACK AND WHITE AND HER BODY WAS SAID THAT HER BODY REPRESENTED BOTH SIDES OF THE SPECTRUM. THE OTHER GODS WERE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH HEL'S APPEARANCE AND AVOIDED HER. THIS MADE HEL VERY UNHAPPY AND LONELY, AND SHE ASKED ODIN IF SHE COULD LEAVE ASGARD. IT WAS THEN THAT ODIN GAVE HER THE WORLD OF HELHEIM TO RULE OVER. SHE WOULD JUDGE OVER THOSE WHO WERE GOOD AND EVIL AND GIVE THEM THEIR JUST REWARDS...THE LEVELS OF 'HEAVEN' OR HELL'.

Goddess Mati Syra Zemlya Image
"MATI SYRA ZEMLA" OR "MATKA", FOR SHORT, IS THE SLAVIC GODDESS OF THE EARTH. HER NAME TRANSLATES TO "MOIST MOTHER EARTH", AND DESCRIBES HER AS A FOREVER FERTILE, LIFE-GIVING FORCE. SHE IS NOT SEEN IN HUMAN FORM BUT AS THE EARTH ITSELF...ALTHOUGH IT IS BELIEVED THAT AT CERTAIN TIMES, SHE WILL TAKE HUMAN FORM. AND WHEN SHE DOES, SHE IS USUALLY PORTRAYED WITH BLACK SKIN WHICH ASSOCIATES HER WITH THE BLACKNESS OF THE FERTILE SOIL. MATKA IS BELIEVED TO BE THE MOST ANCIENT AND POWERFUL OF ALL OF THE EASTERN EUROPEAN DEITIES. IN FACT, MATKA IS SO POWERFUL THAT SHE SURVIVED INTO THE 20TH CENTURY DESPITE ALL ATTEMPTS OF THE CHURCH TO DO AWAY WITH HER.

SHE IS THE MOTHER OF ALL--THE PEOPLE, THE ANIMALS, AND ALL OF THE PLANTS OF THE EARTH. THE SLAVIC PEOPLE HAD A STRONG CONNECTION TO THEIR MOTHER GODDESS AND AN ALTOGETHER DIFFERENT RELATIONSHIP THEY HAD WITH ALL THE OTHER GODS. THEY LOOKED UPON HER WITH A MIXTURE OF LOVE AND ADMIRATION, AND SHE WAS THE ONLY DEITY THEY ADDRESSED PERSONALLY. WHEN THE PEASANT PEOPLE SPOKE OF HER, THEIR EYES WOULD FILL WITH LOVE. THEY CALLED ON HER TO WITNESS PROPERTY DISPUTES AND SWORE BY HER NAME. OATHS AND MARRIAGES WERE CONFIRMED BY SWALLOWING A CLUMP OF EARTH OR HOLDING SOME ON THEIR HEAD WHILE THEY SWEAR AND OATH. HER AID WAS INVOKED DURING EPIDEMICS AND WHILE IN CHILDBIRTH.

MATKA IS ALSO VIEWED AS A CHAMPION OF JUSTICE AND A WISE PROPHETESS WHO ALLOWS HER PETITIONERS TO COME TO HER WITHOUT THE AIDE OF A PRIESTESS OR A SHAMAN. IT WAS SAID THAT SHE HELD ALL THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORLD AND WHEN ASKED, WOULD RELEASE THE SIGNS THAT COULD BE INTERPRETED.

WHEN THE SLAVS CONVERTED TO CHRISTIANITY, THE CHURCH ATTEMPTED TO TRANSFORM HER CHARACTERISTICS THE VIRGIN MARY, BUT THIS WAS NOT WHOLLY SUCCESSFUL, FOR DURING TRYING TIMES, THE PEOPLE WOULD REVERT TO THE WORSHIP OF MATKA. HER HOLY DAYS ARE MAY 1ST, JUNE 24TH AND AUGUST 1ST. A RITUAL TO HER TOOK PLACE ON THE FIELDS IN AUGUST. AT THIS TIME, A LIBATION OF HEMP OIL WAS POURED OUT ONTO THE FOUR DIRECTIONS...ACCOMPANIED BY A PRAYER FOR PROTECTION AGAINST THE DESTRUCTIVE FORCES OF NATURE.
