Mara - Ukrainian goddess of winter and death, as well as rebirth.
Known as Morana in some places, Marzanna in Poland, Mor in Lithuania. The various names are thought to come from "mor," an old Slavic word for death.
Mora is a significant deity in Ukrainian mythology associated with the forces of nature and the underworld. She is also known as the patroness of the underworld and symbolizes the end of the physical life of mortals on Earth. Mora is often depicted as a beautiful woman with long black hair, sometimes wearing a crown of flowers and leaves. She is also associated with the harvest, witchcraft, and nightmares, and her effigy is often burned or drowned in rivers to symbolize the end of winter and the beginning of spring.
Mara, Marzanna, Mor, etc., have been having a resurgence lately.
Perhaps related to the growing popularity of Santa Muerte or "Saint Death."
Perhaps because we get the deities we need at the time.
