A mossy little friend (nearly finished) ready to be set free amongst the other mossy little friends. I only hope she remembers how to find her way back home. 🐓 🏠 🖤

"A Ukrainian ceremony in which an egg was used to cure fever has been documented. A Babka rolled an egg over a patients body and then broke it into water. The cure was said to be guaranteed if the healer was able to discern the cause of a fear by interpreting the egg-white formations (Podolinskii 1879, 186). In other descriptions, an egg was rolled over an inflicted person and thrown to dogs to eat (Chubinskii 1872, 42, 131)."

Chapter 13 is out!
We get to meet Mavka's sister, Rusalka (she's a mermaid), and I have a song that in my mind is about Rusalka's relationship with Mavka - The Hardkiss - Сестра (Sister). And the voice is spot in too.
While you're coming alive,
I will be your sister,
I will breath for you,
I will be your scream.
The morning will come - rise up, rise up,
Wrap yourself in the sun, listen, my dear,
The morning will come, and you came alive,
Believed and lived again.

"There are many descriptions of the use of wax in fortune telling in Ukrainian and other Slavic folklore. One tradition consisted of mixing a baby's hair with melted wax. If this nugget of wax and hair floated the container of water, the child would have a long life. If it sank, the opposite was foretold. (Afanas'ev [1865-9] 1970, 192-4)"
