"Ragana's name derives from a root word meaning "horn" or "crescent". Alternatively, her name derives from a root verb meaning "to see". Ragana is an ancient pre-Indo-European spirit, a powerful prophetess who reveals the future. She also knows the past: devotion to Ragana dates back to the Neolithic era, the New Stone Age. Ragana rules over night, winter, birth, death, destruction, rebirth and regeneration. She is a goddess of fertility, abundance and menopause, which begins with the touch of her red wand. Ragana, the prophetess, sees all, knows all and is all-powerful. She is a goddess of death and a master healer who can supposedly cure any illness or disease. Ragana can bless or curse. She controls the fertility and milk supply of women and animals. It causes and cures infertility and impotence. Ragana controls the weather, raising and calming storms and winds. She is the guardian of the cycles of nature: creation, growth, decline and destruction. Ragana can be understood as a spirit of balance. Even her negative powers can be understood as a blessing. Ragana stops the rise of the sun after the summer solstice. What would happen if the power of the sun was not controlled? If after the Summer Solstice, the power of the sun only increased? • There may be a goddess Ragana. • There may be a family of closely related spirits all called Ragana. • There may be one more goddess Ragana with her retinue of servants, lesser but still formidable spirits called Raganas. • Ragana's priestesses and mortal devotees are also known as Ragana. In modern Latvia and Lithuania, the word ragana literally means “witch” (and not in the most positive sense of the word!). According to Lithuanian folklore, witches fly to the tops of hills to meet Ragana on her holy night, the Winter Solstice. Ragana cuts ice holes in frozen lakes to bathe in icy water. Ragana rarely walks. She flies by transforming into a bird or riding on a branch, twig or tree stump. Ragana is a seer. She doesn't necessarily want to be seen. Woe to the men who surprise her and her servants, especially if they are caught bathing, dancing, skipping, celebrating or otherwise in ritual. First Ragana and Raganas devour men sexually; then they literally devour them."

"Ragana was demonized long before Christianity arrived in the region. Worshiped before the arrival of the Indo-Europeans, she was never assimilated or incorporated into their pantheon, in which male deities like Perkunas play dominant roles. Pre-Indo-European goddesses were assimilated by marriage to these deities. Ragana, apparently not ideal wife material, was not married to any of them. Author Vilija Vyté in the book Of Gods and Holidays: The Baltic Heritage describes Ragana as the "nightmare of patriarchy". After the arrival of Christianity, her image only worsened: Ragana was demoted to a witch who supposedly brings misfortune to humans and animals, a warning perhaps intended to make devotees stop worshiping her. Fairy tales often portray Ragana as grotesque. The stories simultaneously celebrate and warn against it. Like her Russian soul mate, Baba Yaga, Ragana may be portrayed as a cannibal, but her spiritual appeal and mastery remain powerful. Ragana is invoked in positive and malevolent magic. Spells and enchantments attempt to focus (or redirect!) her legendary destructive powers against the spellcaster's enemies. She is an increasingly popular neo-pagan goddess."

A Baltic witch! 🧙‍♀️🌾

.

It’s interesting that in our culture witches were never evil. They were either something like dryads, guarding sacred trees or mediators between humans and spirits. They were wise and respected, often giving advice to people.

.

I think this is why I have such an affinity to them - they’re wise, they live together with and respect nature, because they, more than any one else, know how powerful and scary nature can be.

Here in Finland, Thanksgiving is not celebrated at all. On the subject, however, we have a national cornucopia myth. The national epic Kalevala focuses on the Sampo story, which is a kind of miraculous mill, whose forging and the struggle to own it are told in the poems.

Keywords: cornucopia, folklore, Kalevala, witches, envy

youtube

🎧Is from Hunger Games The national anthem Horn of Plenty. In the film (s) it is like the goddess Diana is fighting against the evil ideology, but she herself becomes an ideology.

In the Greek mythology Zeus as a child broke his nursemaids horn (she was a goat Amaltheia), that became a Horn of plenty. A kind of magical phallos - mother was no longer needed.

Miracle mills can be found in fairy tales and folklore round the world. Philosophers have always been preoccupied with the question of whether man would be happy if he did not have to strive for his livelihood. Even Neurological research supports the idea that the search itself gives a meaning, the seeking process. (Panksepp).

In the ancient Finnish (Baltic-Finnish peoples) poems Sampo had a very prominent role. The most familiar story we find in the Kalevala. The main characters in the Sampo poems are: the wise man Väinämöinen, the blacksmith Ilmarinen, the queen of the north Louhi. All of them have magical powers. I have made some non-serious “player cards” that might make it easier to remember these characters.

Matriarch Louhi helps the wizard Väinämöinen, basically saves his life. As a reward she asks a Sampo, magical mill. Väinämöinen knows that a blacksmith Ilmarinen could make it. Mistress Louhi has also a lot of daughters. Both Ilmarinen and Väinämöinen start a competition where they try to prove their value to Louhi.

Finnish myth Sampo is also a cornucopia myth. Like so often in the myths, things go badly and the task remains unreachable. In the myth of the Sampo men of the väinöland are trying to steal the Sampo back from the phallic woman, by using phallic means.

It is suggested that the Finnish word “kateus” (envy) is synonymous with “Noita” (witch). It is oftentimes suspected that part of the 15th-17th century witch-hunts was the result of hunger. That people lived through particularly bad harvests. But the Envy does not explain the phenomena fully. Surely it is one emotion that featured in those times, between the neighbors.

Psychoanalytical point of view: As Melanie Klein has stated, envy is in all of us and the lack reinforces it. Magical phallos is denial of the lack - in the perverse universe (Chassequet-Smirgel) the lack is denied and the desired thing is stolen rather than worked through.

The opposite is to tolerate the rejection and trauma of smallness. Integration of good and bad images of the mother/object (and your self), and acceptance of the difference can lead to growth. Inner space - mother’s special force stays with her like the lid of the Sampo in the myth is finally scattered for everywhere. In many magic mill -tales it is lost in the sea. “Pushed back in to the subconscious” - like G.Hägglund & V.Hägglund have suggested.

For the ask game: it's teal, light blue and yellow.

Baltic-nocturnal-witch here, I'm sending it as an anon bc i am genuinely unable to figure out how to use asks with a specific sideblog instead of my main one.

@baltic-nocturnal-witch - unfortunately, Tumblr doesn't let you send asks, like, follow, and such from side blogs. Maybe they'll implement that someday, but today is not that day.

Why do you follow me?

Light Blue: we're being sent to the same circle of hell Teal: same stench of death Yellow: an unknowable force compels me

Again, this sounds about right.

~Jasper

The Evermore Grimoire: Magical Relics

A Water Portal is a magical portal that allows merpeople the ability to travel throughout the Seven Seas in an instant. The portals were created by the Baltic Mermaids after the war between mermaids and mermen so that they and the other surviving mermaid pods could stay connected to one another. The mermaids vowed to keep the portals a secret by carving a symbol of their tails on rocks hidden deep on the seabed throughout the Seven Seas. Only a mermaid or sea witch can open the portal by simply hovering their hand over the symbol which will then glow bright blue, as the oceans tides swirl together creating a whirlpool. Thus allowing them to pass through and travel to any part of the ocean that their heart's desire. Over the years the water portals and their sacred locks have become lost to the ever changing tides of the ocean. However that doesn't mean they're lost forever and will still unlock to any sea witch or mermaid looking for a fast way to travel between the Seven Seas.
