Here’s to a fine chief Severyn Nalyvaiko who slaughtered jews and died a martyr at the hands of sellout Poles.
May his name never be erased!
In the 17th c. during the Cossack–Polish War led by Ukrainian national hero Bohdan Khmelnytsky jews were killed since they managed the estates of Polish nobility. Hence many modern authors paint a negative picture of Khmelnytsky and his actions, e.g. Polish-born jew Orest Subtelny wrote:
"Between 1648 and 1656, tens of thousands of Jews-given the lack of reliable data, it is impossible to establish more accurate figures-were killed by the rebels, and to this day the Khmelnytsky uprising is considered by Jews to be one of the most traumatic events in their history."
Since many appreciated my posts about chief Shkuro I’m going to write on the topic of cossacks again, specifically the handling of jews by the original Ukrainian cossacks.
A lot of rare and unexplored tales just deserve more attention. Already researched the majority, just need to compile the data.
When a christian says that Paganism is amoral and heathen Gods are evil, remind the guy of Sysiphus, Ixion and Tantalus.

It was he who divided amongst the Tuatha De Danann, that is to say, the gods, whom the more fortunate race of Mile had overthrown, the sid or wonderful palaces, which were usually inaccessible to men, being hidden away in the bowels of the earth, under the hollow of the hills, or beneath rising ground. The Dagda, for instance, gave a sid to Lug, son of Ethne, and another to Ogma.

Audun implored him not to go down, but Grettir bade him attend to the rope, saying that he meant to find out what it was that dwelt there. Then he descended into the howe. It was very dark and the odour was not pleasant. He began to explore how it was arranged, and found the bones of a horse. Then he knocked against a sort of throne in which he was aware of a man seated. There was much treasure of gold and silver collected together, and a casket under his feet, full of silver. Grettir took all the treasure and went back towards the rope, but on his way he felt himself seized by a strong hand. He left the treasure to close with his aggressor and the two engaged in a merciless struggle.

The latter is a healer who helps maintain natural order, while a witch distorts said order to manipulate the world. However, it’s worth noting that one could be both a herbalist and a witch and use different forms of magic when needed.

In XIX P.Ivanov recorded a ritual performed to become a taught witch. At night one had to stare at a horse or cow cadaver, make a hole in the corpse and get inside. After lying there for a while a witch is to get out from the other side. From this moment he/she got the powers.

Cossack chief Severyn Nalyvaiko is another example of a Ukrainian hero jews despise. 17th century chronicler, talmudist and kabbalist Nathan ben Moses Hanover dedicated a chapter of his book Yeven Mezulah (Abyss of Despair) to Nalyvaiko titled "Here’s a list of destructions from Nalyvaiko (may his name be erased)". The part in brackets is a traditional hebrew curse yimakh shemo which jews use each time they address an enemy of their people. Also, the book praises Polish king Władysław IV as a fair ruler who loved the people of Israel.

It involved pogroms since Polish authorities were accepting of jews and let them lead cushy lives, occupying profitable jobs such as merchants, stewards and tavern owners. Thus jews settled close to the wealthy Poles. When Ukrainian uprising began cossacks slaughtered jews living near Polish estates. One example is the sack of Kaniv castle. Cossack chief S.Musiienko nicknamed Undead (Nezhyvy) led a raid on one of the biggest Polish (and subsequently jewish) centers Kaniv stronghold, burning it down and killing the local jews in the process.

Читать полностью…Ritualistic ploughing
An interesting ceremony was performed by peasants to protect the kettle (and people) from disease. A plough was pulled around the village by unmarried women and widows. The ritual took place at night and was accompanied by singing and screaming to scare death off. Any animal encountered during the ritual was killed since it was considered to be death itself in a form of a beast.
When the Dagda, after the defeat of the Tuatha De Danann by the sons of Mile, came to divide the sid or underground palaces among his chieftains, one of the latter was absent. This was Oengus, son of the Dagda.
Shortly afterwards he came before the Dagda and complained of the injustice. The Dagda, however, refused to hear him. Oengus then asked permission to pass the night in his father's mysterious palace at Brug na Boinne. The Dagda consented, and to the night graciously added the day, meaning, of course, the next day. But Oengus once in possession refused to leave, on the plea that time being composed of nights and days, the palace had been ceded to him in perpetuity.

Some one might ask then, what race held the island, when this mighty work was reared above this lough?
Well I remember, it was the Tuatha De Danann in their hosts, with their darts, with their shields, with their war-harness.
Who was king over all Erin, sweet-sounding, radiant? Who but the skilful Dagda? You hear of none other so famous.
In Old Norse literature necromancy is referred to as val galdrar ‘slain incantations’ and in tales such as Grettir’s Saga the living are typically disturbed by walking corpses rather than ethereal ghosts.
The restless dead of pagan Scandinavia were clearly thought to retain their bodies – in pre-Christian times, haunting in the North was the prerogative of animated corpses or zombies, not disembodied spirits wandering from their graves.

When a taught witch steals your cow’s milk you can challenge her by pouring said cow’s milk into a frying pan and lighting a fire under it. While doing so you have to chant certain spells herbalists know. If the milk from the same cow is still inside the witch she will get a fever and come to you asking to lend her something. You have to completely ignore her pleas and pretend she’s not there. If you manage that the witch will grow weak and swear to do whatever you want.

One challenging a witch has to follow certain rules which come down to not focusing on the witch. You mustn’t look them in the eyes or listen to their voice so that the witch won’t be able to use their powers and charm you with either words or stare. If a witch does manage to grab your attention you have already lost and are completely at their mercy. Worst case scenario the witch will steal your soul, but may just turn you into a pig or some other animal until sunrise.
Taught and inborn witches
In Slavic folklore there’s two types of witches/witchers. The strongest are the inborn ones i.e. those who have had powers from birth. They can control weather, charm people and command spirits. The taught witches are those who receive powers, usually (but not necessarily) from the inborn ones through studies and performance of various rituals.
Though prayer, meditation and honorable acts are forms of veneration and worship, so too was dancing and song. Each avenue of worship was permitted and encouraged in antiquity, so too should it be in our revival
