For beginning of the #Spring I created this, #Slavic deities Jarilo (Jarowit) and Morana (Marzanna), reunited in afterworld. They have keys to open gates between dimensions, allowing Earth to reborn.

Last weekend I was celebrating traditional Morana's effigy drowning in Vistula river to bid farewell to Winter. Later our group marched through Warsaw Old Town with Spring pole made of young branches, singing about Jarilo looking for his partner and awakening nature to new life.

📷 Reaching goals. Summer of 2024
.
Can a fifty plus guy still built a sixpack? That was the question. And the answer came here in the outback of Alaska.
.
With a long past of various fysicsl deficits and downfalls since young years, and continued at adult era, there was always a spirit to get back.
To nevertheless find a forgotten body after Covid times, when bad habits of wrong nutrition and perhaps too common use of alcohol had created the typical body of a 50+ guy who thinks it's due to age.
.
Since summer of 2022 there has been work and dedication to alter that.
.
On this inlet shore the celebration was there.

I attended a Solstice ceremony in Ingapirca, Ecuador, in June 2023. The floor was adorned by sacred geometry patterns drawn in flower petals, with the Andean mountains watching over the ceremony.

Rituals like this one bring together people.
