Morana was a Slavic goddess of winter and death. She represented a long and cold winter, a winter that could bring death through famine and extreme cold, that could cause disease and massive death of the cattle. Her arrival was therefore always expected with fear and her departure was celebrated with a lot of noise and cheer.

Mokosh was one of the most popular Slavic deities and most often associated with the great Mother Goddess or Mother Earth. She was worshipped as a protector of women, force of fertility, and the ruler of death. She is a wanderer and a spinner. She weaves, spins, and holds the threads of fate.
