Bovodar and the Bears has been featured on the Arkhaven blog, with fascinating information about Slavic myths--from which the tale derives some aspects--that I didn't even know!
Then there is Morena, goddess of Death. But like Maha Khali of Hindustan, she is more complicated than a simple reaper of lives. Morena is the daughter of Lada, goddess of Spring and new life, as such joins Winter and death together into the rebirth of Spring. She represents the different stages of life.
When the Slavs became Christian, Morena would become known as the Baba Yaga.
Read the post here, and get excited, because I think a new episode of Bovodar and the Bears should be coming soon on Arktoons!
