In our country there lives such a people as the Mari, an ancient and unusual folk! I know several Mari people and they are very nice ✨ 

It may seem that they are closed and stern, but over time these people open up and you begin to understand that they are reliable, sincere and very kind. And they are often silent because they don’t like to waste time and always speak only if it's necessary.

They believe that a person's attitude towards nature can say a lot about their essence and inner world, and I couldn't agree more! 😌 

The Mari have preserved their ancient religion, and for them this is not just for a hollow tradition and showing off. For many Mari, their faith is what it was thousands of years ago - a spiritual and moral guideline on the path of life. They also have a pantheon of semi-gods, and I want to tell you a little about the forest deities! 🧚🏻

“The god of the forest, Kozhla Yumo, protected forest animals from senseless extermination, protected the forest from cutting down, and it was especially strictly forbidden to cut down trees along rivers and on sandy hills. A person who, for any reason, destroyed such a tree, had to plant ten new ones in order to avoid the wrath of Kozhla Yumo.

The Mother of the Forest - Kozhla Ava - can appear to a person in the guise of a bear, a white squirrel or a giantess in white robes who rides through the forest on a moose. Her favorite birds are the owl and the eagle owl, so hunters often decorated their hats with their feathers to please her.
Her relationship with people also depends on how a person treats the forest.” – Myths of the Volga region by Tatyana Muravieva

Would you tell me about the ancient traditions of your people? 🐉
