Mythical Pictures of the South Slavs Mitske podobe Južnih Slovanov
The author writes about the so-called “mythical pictures”, a new source for the research of Slavic mythology, which were created in order to express people’s religious notions. The article is centered on four of the most common groups of mythical pictures which, due to their archetypal characteristics have survived to the present: paintings of the human body, those representing the female principle, solar mythical pictures, and the paintings of t…
Slovenskite panteoni vo likovniot medium
The article represents a segment of global research emanating from the visual images of the Slavic deities, mostly manifested on archaeological finds, in this particular case, early Slavic artefacts (the plates of a cult character, and the so-called radiate-headed fibulae) found in the Balkans. By analysis of the iconography and symbolical features of these finds, the author attempts to define a type of mythical picture of an “anthropomorphic fir…
Ranosrednovekovnata bronzena raka od Romanija i nejzinite relacii so slovenskite paganski tradicii Romanian Bronze Hand from the Early Middle Ages and Its Relation to Slavic Pagan Traditions
The article analyzes a bronze hand from Romania found at an unknown site. The hand, which was dated between the 6th and the 7th centuries, was placed on auction in New York in 1989. With the help of artistic, stylistic and iconographic comparisons it has been established that it belongs to the so-called Early Medieval pagan-Slavic iconographic system. By employing the symbolic and iconographic comparative analysis, the first part of the article f…
Dažbog vo hronikata na Malala i negovite relacii so drugi srednovekovni i folklorni izvori Dažbog in Malalas’ Chronicle and His Relations with Other Medieval and Folkloristic Sources
This article introduces new perspectives on the Slavic pagan god Dažbog (or Dajbog/Dabog) on the basis of medieval historical sources, folk traditions, linguistic analyses and artistic depictions on archeological objects. Special attention is focused on remarks concerning Svarog and Dažbog in the Slavic translation of the “World Chronicle” (Hronografia) of Ioannes Malalas. Thus this article contributes to discussions concerning Svarog published b…
Mitskite oponenti na ranosrednovekovite pojasni jazičinja Mythical Opponents on Early Middle Ages Belt Tongues
The paper explores the iconography and symbolism of certain types of late Avarian belt tongues (7th - 8th centuries) which depict three figures (zoomorphic, zoo-anthropomorphic, or anthropomorphic), two of which are engaged in a combat. The author proceeds from a thesis that this scene depicts a symbolic struggle between two opposing gods, a representative of the celestial/luminous principle, and a representative of the htonic principle. The auth…
Predilkata so zoo-antropomorfni i demonski obeležja vo slovenskite mitski tradiciii The Spinner with Zoo-Anthropomorphic and Demonic Features in the Slavic Mythic Traditions
Five fragmented tiles originating from the 15th century and found in Prague are the research topic of this text. A woman and another zoo-anthropomorphic figure spinning in front of a spindle can be seen on the better preserved examples. An attempt has been made to connect the second figure with: (1) some forest or house female spirits from the Slavic folklore that are linked to the textile activities; (2) the initiation rites of girls into adult …
Mitologiziranoto gumno vo slovenskata tradicionalna kultura - II The Mythologized Threshing Floor in the Slavic Traditional Culture - II
In this part special place is given to the “Myth of the Metallic (Copper / Bronze) Threshing Floor”, present in the toponyms, legends, magical stories and in the mediaeval apocryphal texts. It contains analyses of the next mythical elements: the metallic components (threshing floor, castle, field, plants, food ...); the connection between the mythical threshing floor and the cosmological myths about the first mountain; the relation between the “m…
Mitologiziranoto gumno vo slovenskata tradicionalna kultura - I The Mythologized Threshing Floor in Slavic Traditional Culture - I
This work is pointed towards the semiotic and mythological aspects of the threshing floor in Slavic culture, including the period from the Middle Ages till the contemporary folklore. According to the real form and the functions of the threshing floor, its dynamical cosmological symbolic is stressed, accenting its celestial character: - threshing floor = sky/heaven; - the hinge = axis mundi; - the circular movement of the animals = cyclical dynami…
Crepna i vršnik. Mitološko – semiotička analiza Crepna and vrshnik. Mythological – Semiotic Analysis
The paper focuses on the semiotic function of the crepna (bread baking dish) and the vrshnik (its cover). These traditional clay dishes were characteristic of the Balkans. Examined are several topics: the form of the crepna, which is reminiscent of the female body and therefore connected with a number of ritual magic procedures; female symbolism of the crepna; the crepna – dish – uterus – woman relation; and analogies and etymologies from Slavic …
