KOVLAD


KOVLAD

Function: The son of Svätogor and Magura, also called Zemetras, is the ruler of the mountains and the underground, guards and manages all underground treasures. With his power, he can shake a mountain, at his command, water or even fire can erupt from underground. All the elves, dwarves and permonians are subordinate to him and his wife Rune.

Image: This deity is described as a stout man, like a mountain. He is all golden, only his hair and long beard are made of silver, his eyes are green like two huge emeralds.

Symbols: Serpent with golden crown, lantern and chicane, precious stones and crystals.

Sacrifices: Salt, bread, wine, tools for replenishing treasures, and also products made from their gifts.

Holidays: At the beginning of December, sacrifices were made to Kovlad and Runa; in the Christian era, this holiday fell to Saint Barbara. The third day after the solstice, later St. John's night, was also an important day, when it is said that the secrets of the mountains and the underground are revealed.                    

Note: He is often gracious to people and shows them where to find hidden treasures. Kovlad does not like to be disturbed, and if he gets angry, it often ends badly for the miners.
