Myths of the Volga Region. From the Wolf Lord and the World Tree to the Cult of Snakes and the Bird of Happiness
Why did the great god Kugu Yumo turn a person inside out? Who appears to people in the form of a destructive whirlwind? Which bird symbolizes the feminine principle? And what to do during the rampage of evil forces?
The myths...
of the peoples of the Volga region became the subject of research in the 19th century. At that time, the mythological representations of the Mari, Udmurts, Chuvash, Mordvins, Tatars, Bashkirs, and Kalmyks seemed to scatter into folk tales, fairy tales, sacred rituals, and beliefs. "Myths of the Volga" offer to piece together a beautiful and poetic picture of heroes and tricksters, heroes and sorcerers, animal symbols, spirits of the household, and giants.
