In ancient legends, among the higher powers, some terrible spirits called the gods of revenge are mentioned, and in this article we will focus on them.
It is worthwhile to understand that nothing happens just like that - everything is natural. If a person thinks that he got completely unfair, then this is not an occasion to be angry with the gods, but an opportunity to rethink his own life and his actions. It is possible that somewhere in your path you took the wrong step.
You should turn to any higher forces very carefully, observing all the rules, especially you should not blame them for anything, since they are always right.
Scandinavian god of revenge Vali
In Norman traditions, he is also known by the names Bowes, Ali and Beav. Odin's son, born of the giantess Rind. God of revenge among the Scandinavians. It symbolizes the growing duration of daylight, as it grew from a newborn baby into an adult male in just a day. As just a one-day-old baby, he managed to avenge Kheda, the blind god of darkness, for killing Balder. Although, in fact, he committed it by accident, succumbing to the tricks of the sly Loki. Vali, who was responsible for the death of his brother, was hit with a mark arrow from his quiver. Actually, thanks to this, he is portrayed as a streltsy and patronizes archers.
This is a god who carries a well-deserved punishment to all those who have committed any serious crimes, and it did not matter to him, a deity before him or a man. His name was rarely pronounced, but criminals were afraid of him like fire.
If Vali's arrow has overtaken someone, then this may not be a punishment for past sins, but a “kick” in the right direction.
Chernobog
In the Black Mountains of Navi, the great Black Serpent was surrounded by rings, who lost the war with Svarog and his children, but his warriors scattered throughout the human world.
The dark-blooded god of revenge, death and destruction is unquestioningly served by dark magicians and magicians. Around his tsar's hut creepy creeps creep - lamia, and wolkolaks and gobbies snoop around the surrounding forests.
The kingdom and retinue of the god of revenge
Chernobog is the lord of Darkness and the kingdom of Navi. His throne is in the castle of the color of the crow's wing, and next to him is his wife Morena (Mora), the goddess of death, and in front of him is the beast-like Radogast, the god is the afterlife judge with the lion's head.
The commander in the dark army of Chernobog is Viy, who in calmer times acts as a jailer in the underworld. In his hand is a fiery whip, which he uses to punish sinners. His eyelids are so heavy that the servants have to pitch them with a pitchfork, but if Vija manages to look at a person, he suddenly dies. Daylight is worse for him than death, so it does not go out onto the surface of the earth during the day.
Also, the retinue of Chernobog is made up of demons: the goat-footed Pan (son of Wii); dragon Yaga; Black Buck Stork; Black Kali and the Witcher Margast; witches of Mazat and Putan.
The dark power of Chernobog is enormous - in his submission all the forces of Hell. He very much likes to scoff at the holy men, putting on a black robe and picking up a rosary.
Saxon mention of Chernobog
The terrible god of revenge among the Slavs, also mentioned among the Scandinavians under the name Zernebock, which brings misfortune and destruction to humanity. It is depicted in armor with a face glowing with anger, in the hand of his spear, ready to deliver an unexpected blow. To this bloody and vengeful deity, prisoners were sacrificed along with their horses, and on special days - tribesmen specially selected for this purpose. He prayed that evil would not fall upon them. His kingdom is in Hell. Only the wise men manage to turn away his fury. Belobog and Chernobog have been fighting since the beginning of time, and this war is eternal, until day replaces night.
In the famous historical novel about the knight Ivanhoe, written by Walter Scott, you can clearly see the traces of the Slavic religious culture. While reading the book, there comes across a scene in which a decrepit decrepit old woman, standing on the walls of the castle, poking her bony finger into the ground, yells heart-rendingly: “Zernebok rumbles! Roars! ”
An interesting fact is that the name Zernebock appears seven times in the original English-language manuscript. And this is the spelling of the name of Chernobog - the bloodthirsty god of revenge of the ancient Slavs. But with Scott, he is listed as the “Apollion of Angels” - after the name of the apocalyptic demon - the destroyer of souls.
Based on the data of many German authors, this deity is also mentioned among the Baltic and Polab Slavs. On the territory of the Luga Serbs, the mountain with the formidable name Chernobog is still popular, to which the locals drove the famous Slavic Sreznevsky to show hell. In addition, they have a mountain named after Belobog, who always fights with his antipode.
The origin of the Greek goddess of vengeance
Since ancient times, evil and treacherous females have been called vouchers, but not everyone knows the true meaning of this word. The word itself is translated from the language of the ancient inhabitants of Hellas as "envious."
Vixen is the most terrible goddess of revenge of the three Erinian sisters, and her appearance has several versions, these are:
- The daughter of Nyutta and Erebus.
- Child of the Night and Tartarus.
- Born from the blood of Uranus.
- A child of Gaia who has absorbed the blood of Uranus.
The third version is still considered more official.
Vixen is the goddess of revenge among the Greeks, born from the blood of Uranus (along with two other Erinians) after the sons who rebelled against him cut off his reproductive organ and threw it into the sea. It is portrayed as a nasty old woman, on whose head nasty snakes swarm instead of hair. There is a torch in one hand, and a scourge in the other.
The name of the god of revenge among the ancient Greeks with a masculine origin does not appear, it is possible that he did not exist, but was only a feminine hypostasis.
