Morana

Back to shelf
Living antiquarian grimoire portrait convention for Morana or Polish Marzanna as a status-uncertain seasonal figure, distinct from the drowned or burned ritual effigy.

Morana is the canonical inventory record resolved from the Polish form Marzanna and related regional forms. The controlled evidence concerns a layered West Slavic seasonal ritual figure and effigy practice, not a securely uniform ancient goddess cult.
