Vyrai
🕑 Added 2023-07-12 20:07:09 +0000 UTCVyrai is a mythical place in Slavic mythology where "birds fly for the winter and souls go after death" that is sometimes identified with paradise. Spring is believed to have arrived on Earth from Vyrai. It was apparently located far away beyond the sea, at the end of the Milky Way.
The pagan Slavic peoples thought the birds flying away to Vyrai for the winter and returning to Earth for the spring to be human souls. According to some folk tales, the human soul departs the Earth for Vyrai during the cremation of its deceased flesh on a pyre; however, it does not stay in paradise forever, returning some time later to the womb of a pregnant woman.
For the two photos I used an AI to get rid of the warm light spot in the background. I'll post the tutorial tomorrow :)
Love, Erinthul.
