"The Magical Release of the Kite: A Connection with an Ancient Tradition"


Kites and lanterns of light, ideally created by our own hands, are now considered children's entertainment, but what if I told you that these flying beauties can be more than just innocent play? Consecrated moments, full of contemplation, can connect our world with the world of the gods and ancient traditions.

Let's take a deeper look at this ritual. Can you imagine that our ancient ancestors might have had a much deeper connection to this act? Perhaps flying a kite can be a ceremony itself that carries messages, requests and thanks.

Picture our ancient ancestors standing on the plain, ready to fly their kites or light a flying lantern in the early evening and release it into the darkening sky. Maybe it was more than just fun for them. Perhaps it was their way of communicating with their gods.

So, when you fly your kite or lantern into the night sky, remember all the thousands of generations that may have done the same thing before you. Perhaps in this simple act you will find a connection to an ancient tradition and to this ancient way of communicating with the gods. And who knows, maybe your requests and thanks will reach them.

THE DAYS OF STRIBOG, but summer is surely slowly ending and the wind is clearly starting to blow, and that is the time of the god STRBOG, so I added something about him in the section  STRIBOG
