![]() maiden of Spring as the last of Winter’s breezes blow cold the larks announce your return on this day of Maslenica we celebrate your return from the darkness of vrij and rejoice in the gifts of your beauty Goddess of love may the songs of your larks fill our hearts with joy and may the warmth of your Spring bring life to our souls Lada is the Slavic Goddess of Beauty and Love who returns every Vernal Equinox (Maslenica) from the Underworld (vrij) bringing the Spring and the Larks with her. For another picture, and more info, please go here: Lada ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |
