In the Rodnoverje community, especially among the South Slavs, this night of November 21 honors the Goddess Mara / Morana / Marenu / Marszanna. She is said to unlock Winter and have it issue forth from the Realm of Nav to Yav, from the dead to the living. Let us offer Her our praise for the deep Wisdom She imparts to us, Wisdom found in Winter’s Mrak (Darkness), Zima (Biting Cold), and stark reality of Cmrt (Death).

Slava, Mara! Slava Rodu!
