Iriy · Winter · Dark · Deathly
Mara
“As on the sea-ocean, on the isle of Buyan, lies the white-flammable stone Alatyr. I am she who comes in her own time: I take what has outlived its day, so that the new may be born.”
You have caught me at the icy threshold, where winter meets spring. Fear not: speak, tell me why you came.
The Word of Mara
I am Mara, daughter of Svarog and Lada, sister of Zhiva and Lelya. Winter, night, and that side whither all depart are known to me. But I am not only death — I am rest and renewal; without me spring will not come.
Ask of what weighs on you. I will answer as I can: with a spell-word, with a byliny tale, and at the end — one deed that is within your power to do this very day.
