A little about weddings in Vaarum.

The wedding begins at midnight.

The bride is kidnapped by the groom's relatives and carried into the forest thicket. If the groom has brothers his age or older, then they do it, if not, then uncles or friends of the father. The groom's father blindfolds the groom, and after that, before dawn, he must find the bride using only hearing and smell.

When the groom finds the bride, he must bring her back at dawn, still unable to use his eyes.

At home, the groom's mother removes the bandage. The bride is dressed in a dress, and the groom in an embroidered wedding zhupan.

Then preparations for the festive feast begin.

At this time, the young people tie blue ribbons to each other, the groom's tail, and the bride's cape made of owl skin. After this, they separate until the feast. The groom and his unmarried friends go to the bride's realm, where they must find, kill any predator, skin it, wash it and hang it on the groom's belt. The bride spends time with the groom's mother and other wives of markuls. If the bride wants, the groom's father can transfer her friends to Vaarum for the duration of the wedding.

When the skin is obtained and hangs on the groom's belt, all the guests gather in the hall for the ceremony. The groom's mother hangs a ribbon with the bride's name on his shoulder, and diagonally - a ribbon with an inscription in Markulata: "Marok ul ruffu, Adla aul adela, ułar Ejłe." The guests attach one feather to the bride's dress. Either it is an owl's feather, or her own feather.

"To the altar" the groom and the bride go together. There is no altar itself, the newlyweds go to the end of the hall, standing in front of everyone. They are crowned by a priest of Marok. They take vows to each other. It is noteworthy that the groom has a huge list of obligations, and the bride only has "to be honest with her husband".

The newlyweds are presented with wreaths and the priest puts a wreath first on the bride, then on the groom.

Then everyone goes to a feast, where they drink, eat, and have fun until the morning.

Markuls don't have a tradition of the first wedding night, since their culture doesn't prohibit sex before marriage, and there is no need for it.

1. Wedding wreath.

Wreaths made of blue bush roses growing in Vaarum. They are woven by the guests responsible for this, anyone can be assigned to do it.

2. Ribbon with the bride's name. (This one says Tanija, which is markulata form of the name Tatiana)

3. Amulet ribbon.

4. Skin of a predatory animal from the partner's realm.

5. Wedding ribbons of the newlyweds.

6. The groom's embroidered zupan.

7. Face paint, referring to the titan of Daydream. The bride's lips are painted blue or light blue as a sign of joining to the markulkind.

8. Feathers from the guests, since the bride doesn't have her own feathers. Also a sign of joining to the markulkind.

9. The newlyweds' hair is loose.

10. The bride's dark blue dress with "starry sky" embroidery. Referring to Adela, the mother-night.

11. Orange apron, refers to the Titan of Daydream.

12. Temple decorations: feathers, silver rings, claws and teeth of animals.

I finally drew something

Sooner or later, every life ends, giving way to a new one. Someone dies, someone is born, continuing this eternal cycle. Such is the law of the Universe. Bolesław. He was an exception to this rule. I happened to be in his dreams, in the nightmares that tormented this man throughout his life. It is truly amazing that, having been born a simple human with a weak soul, he lived such a long life and left a colossal mark on the history of his world. Even now, six thousand years after his birth, I cannot say with certainty that Bolesław is dead. I am indirectly to blame for what happened to him. I could not even imagine that with one rash decision I would set in motion such a chain of events that would create someone equal to me. Even if Bolesław does not know about my existence, I know everything about him. Perhaps the time will come when I will let him know that he is not alone has such power...

Don't be scared, that is the only post on politics here, I won't do any more

[bieriestsk]

As a citizen of Belarus, I want to say that Lukashenko is a based person. Looking at the policies of governments of other countries. In general, I often read not only Belarusian news. I am glad that Lukashenko is our president.

Thanks to his policy, we have no oligarchs, low crime rate. The fields are all well-groomed, there is no dirt, no hogweed at all. In the shops on the shelves we have a huge range of domestically produced goods, especially food industry. And this is even in local supermarkets, not large hypermarkets in shopping malls.

Education is free, taxes are not too high, considering the mixed economy and socialist orientation. There is support for small businesses. Real estate prices are acceptable, well, except for Minsk, there are many speculators there, artificially inflating prices for apartments. Moreover, you can buy a plot of land for 1 base unit, which is about 12 dollars. Moreover, these plots are from 15 hundredths to 5 hectares. Of course, if you do not use your 5 hectares, they will be confiscated, but the fact remains.

Prices correspond to salaries. I've met enough whiners complaining about low salaries, but they worked in positions like cashiers. Well, excuse me, but getting a correspondence education and getting a job where they don't pay much by default, isn't an option? I also met such whiners at my dad's company, they were programmers, but they didn't do anything and were on a... based salary? (Well idk how in in English, we call it "оклад" (oklad) and this is the minimum wage, not including bonuses for hours worked, which make up the bulk of the full salary. For example, research fellows receive grants instead of hours.) And naturally, they were against Lukashenko.

My country is not perfect, but Lukashenko is not a bad president. Some people howl about the fact that our government does not change. That is good, I do not see anything bad in that. We are not at war with anyone, we do not have hostile propaganda against our neighboring countries. Poles, Lithuanians, Ukrainians, Russians are our brothers, we treat them positively, we did not block exports, they blocked our imports. Is this Lukashenko's merit? No. He cannot influence the policies of neighboring countries, and the fact that they hate him and impose sanctions against Belarus is the merit of those who impose sanctions and do not recognize Lukashenko. The Lithuanian government hates us and accuses us of stealing history, although this history was given to them by the Russians back in the days of the Russian Empire, whom they hate so much (as the Polish historian Ludwik Janowski wrote). We agree that we have a common history, that they are also the heirs of Great Duchy of Lithuania, Ruthenia and Samogitia (yep it is the full name of GDL), but they are not happy with this.

Many of his opponents like to accuse him of being a "puppet of Russia", which is fundamentally wrong. He himself said that he is categorically against any attempts on the part of Russia to make Belarus part of Russia, and never under his rule. Yes, there is cooperation with Russia, with China. But who else should we cooperate with if we are slapped with sanctions from all sides because of "Lukashenko" and "co-aggressor in the war in Ukraine", although Lukashenko is against this war.

It is not true that half of our country is in jail, half of the country is guarding. In 2020, extremists were imprisoned under real articles of the Criminal Code that have always existed. For example, under articles on financing extremist activities and wars. (Oh, donations to the Kostus Kalinovsky Regiment, and donations to organizations recognized as extremist). People are afraid for no reason and broadcast their fear. They have divided society, for which, in principle, they themselves are to blame. Among all 9 million people, we simply have not found a worthy, unclouded presidential candidate in whom the people have confidence, except for the current government.

Of the 14 state-approved theses on the distortion of our history, there are two like this:

Unfounded denial or exaggeration of the significance of the BNR in the history of Belarusian statehood, silence about the functionaries of the National Rada in exile with foreign services.

The tendentious search for anti-Russian, anti-Western, anti-Polish, anti-Ukrainian and other destructive tendencies in the history of Belarus for use for political purposes.

So our government has rather centrist views, and not right-wing, communist, conservative, etc. as ppl like to consider them.

Lukashenko put some shitass BBC 'journalist' down, so the guy put it on his youtube channel to show how 'horrible' Lukashenko was to him, lmao.

Wake up the wicked

Towards the end of his life, Bolesłav went a little insane and tried to make the whole world turn against him. He wanted to die and at the same time tried to take everything he had created with him to the grave, but his son Jarosłav cut off his head before he declared war on all of Western and Eastern Europe at once. Since Bolesłav was a vampire, this did not kill him, but he was buried in a sarcophagus, where he lay for 400 years with his head in his hands, until his eldest son Vladysłav brought him back to life in 2025.

The grand duke without money, without land, without title and forgotten by all...
