Myth
In the folklore of the British peoples, a plot appears often enough to be called “marvelous funerals” — the funerals of the Fair Folk. Yet tales and legends repeat that Fairies do not die — at least, not of old age (they can only be killed or mortally wounded).
Yet at times they grow so weary of life that they begin to dream of death, which would deliver them from the burden of being. And to die, a Fairy must obtain an immortal soul, like a human one…
One would very much not want there to be more of such “marvelous funerals”…
We have already discussed that, according to the Slavic cosmogonic myth, the first creative Dyad Svarog and Lada is balanced by the Supporting biner Veles–Semargl.
We have also already spoken about the Lord of the Threshold Veles.
Now our task is to touch upon the Power of Overcoming generated by Semargl.
The European pagan understanding of reincarnation was deeper than modern primitive notions of the process. What was meant was precisely transmigration: the flowing of a special invisible and imperceptible substance, a life‑force, which made two lives of completely different personalities somehow connected to one another and tinged with the same tone.
The study of Dreaming has become very popular thanks to a vogue for Latin American writers who introduced the Western world to indigenous notions of trance visions.

We have repeatedly noted the exceptional role gods play in magically oriented mythology: those who bind the threads of life, who steward plants and animals, and who channel the Great Flow of Power into the backwaters of specifically embodied entities.
Among the Radiant figures who uphold the foundations of the Cosmos, the figure of the Great Guardian, the Mighty Earth God, occupies a central place in every mythology.
Though he is rarely at the head of any people’s pantheon, this God has nonetheless always enjoyed exceptional veneration as the Lord of life and death.
Magic begins with overcoming the fear of facing oneself.
And that fear is not accidental. If one peers into the depths of oneself, one can discern an alien, malicious and treacherous being hiding there.
Where did it come from?
The Four Great Rulers of the cardinal directions, who govern the kiners and, accordingly, the Spirits, enable a Magus who has contained their power and assumed their place to effectively command mighty forces.
Although Runes as a realizational-magical instrument possess considerable power, they, like all that is embodied, have limits to their capabilities.
