Niečo málo o Černobohovi

Ďurov besovský boh, strážca krvavého ohňa, pán záhrobnej svorky vlkov, hrubá záplata na hrubé vrece nepriateľských potvor a zvrhlých božských súrodencov je postavička... Kontroverzná.

* Prvá zmienka je datovaná do 12. storočia a v oblasti Polabských Slovanov ju zaznamenal saský kňaz Helmold Bosau v Chronica Slavorum (Kronika Slovanov).

"Slované mají také [jednu] zvláštní pověru: při hostinách a pitkách nechávají kolovat misku, nad níž pronášejí slova – a nemůžu říci, že slova posvěcení, nýbrž znesvěcení[pozn. 1] – ve jménu bohů dobrých i zlých, protože vyznávají že všechen zdar a štěstí řídí dobrý bůh, zlý bůh pak všechno neštěstí. Proto také zlého boha svým jazykem nazývají „ďábel“ či „Černoboh“, to jest černý bůh." (Citát z wiki)

Saské pokresťančovanie týchto nespratných susedov prebiehalo už od druhej polovice 10. storočia a výklad videného pochádza od predstaviteľa v podstate cudzej okupačnej sily, takže je otázne nakoľko ide o predstavu pôvodnú a nakoľko o kríženca kresťanského dualizmu dobro-zlo s domácimi tradíciami. Je dôvod domnievať sa, že ani nešlo o boha, ale skôr o stelesnenie smoly lepiacej sa na päty.

* Niekedy ešte býva stotožňovaný s Čiernohlavom - Tjarnoglófim zo ságy Knýtlinga z 13. storočia, ktorá okrem dejín dánskych vladárov spomína aj jedno z posledných slovanských svätíšť na Rujáne a miestne modly.

"The fifth god was called Pizamar from a place called Jasmund, and was destroyed by fire, There was also Tjarnaglófi, their god of victory who went with them on military campaigns. He had a moustache of silver and resisted longer than the others but they managed to get him there years later. Altogether, they christened five thousand on this expedition. (Citát z wiki)

Nevraví nám o ňom ktovieako veľa - boh víťazstva, modla so striebornou bradou nosená do boja, zničeniu vraj odolával dlhšie ako iní. A čo sa akademických úvah o Tjarnoglófim týka, sú rôznorodé - iná podoba Triglava, Jarovíta, Perúna, alebo dokonca na základe porovnávania "tjarn" so slovom "tŕň" aj nositeľ tŕňovej koruny istého Nazaretského synkreticky šprajcnutého do predstáv o domácich ochrancoch pred dobyvateľmi.

K slovu sa dostala aj archeológia a Čierny sa ako vojnové božstvo vyskytol ešte inde. * Ján Kollár - kňaz, básnik, jazykovedec a snaživý (ikeď nie až tak exaktný) historik v 19. storočí účinkujúci uprostred vzmáhajúcich sa nacionalistických pretekov o to, čí národ bol najsamprvý, najkultivovanejší a na aké územia a úctu má nárok, si v ňom našiel dávnovekého burcovateľa slovanskej bojovnosti v obrane pred kresťanstvom násilne vnucovaným z Nemeckých zemí. Zložil o ňom aj pár veršov v Slávy dcére.

Jeho nález z Babenbergu, ktorým svoje úvahy podkladal, však dopadol neslávne. O starých sochách pred chrámom sv. Petra a Juraja na Michalskej hore sa tradovala legenda, že sú obývané zlovoľnými duchmi, čo kedysi po nociach sabotovali snahy stavbárov vztýčiť tamojší svätostánok (spoiler - vyhrali stavbári a kostol stojí). Keď na nich Kollár s mladomanželkou zbadal ryhy pripomínajúce písmená, nadchol sa myšlienkou, že by mohlo ísť o slovanské runy. A tak sa v 30. rokoch 19. storočia zrodil príbeh o Černobohových levoch, modlách odcudzených vierozvestcom Otom Bamberským. Zlanáril naň aj (o poznanie profesionálnejšieho) Pavla Jozefa Šafárika a táto správa dorazila až do intelektuálnych kruhov v Rusku. Hypotéza dostala trhliny, keď jeden poľský bádateľ na sochách našiel nápis Wallhalah (germánske sídlo bohov a záhrobie pre vyvolených bojovníkov) a definitívne sa zrútila, keď sa usúdilo, že sa to len nejaký okoloidúci na pamiatku podpísal (!!!a preto sú bytostne dôležité knihy návštev!!!) a/alebo poveternostné živly dali naštrbenej hornine zabrať.

* Podobne obišiel aj Kollárom inšpirovaný nešťastník od Skalska, Václav Krolmus - kňaz, zberateľ etnológ a priekopník terénnej archeológie v zemi koruny českej.

Ten sa v 50. rokoch 19. storočia nádejal, že v pivnici Josefa Kabeša našiel runový kameň podľa nápisu vyzerajúceho ako výraz "raksa" zasvätený raráškovi a tým pádom indickému rákšašovi (indoeurópanizmus a Slovania, veľká téma, veľa hľadania starých vzájomností), prípadne ešte aj blízkovýchodnému Baalovi. O nález sa so širšou verejnosťou podelil v Poslední božiště Černoboha s runami na Skalsku, v kraji Boleslavském, v Čechách. Odhalenia, že ide o komoru z obdobia renesancie a pukliny v jeho kameni sú prirodzeného pôvodu, sa už nedožil. Lokalita však bola osídlená už v praveku a je zdrojom rôznych nálezov.

* Mytológia, aj tá prežívajúca vo fikcii a popkultúre miesto praktizovanej viery, je však živý proces. Sútok nespočta potôčikov, divoké riečište s množstvom bočných ramien, prúd podzemnej vody tu tryskajúci na povrch, tam zase miznúci v skrytých hlbinách, spenená riava meniaca svoje koryto podľa ľubovôle, chutiaca všetkým možným, o čo sa obtrela. Každá komunita a každá generácia s ňou nakladá trochu inak. Podľa toho, čo rezonuje v ich životoch, čo zisťujú o okolitom svete, čo sa snažia dosiahnuť. Môžeme si zakladať na presnosti toho ktorého zaznamenaného prerozprávania, hľadať pramene toho ktorého prvku, body styku s inými vplyvmi, prirodzené prekážky, čo zmenili jej tok. A môžeme samozrejme aj razantne kritizovať tú ktorú verziu a jej mieru nadväznosti, či výživnosť, môžeme jej konkurovať vlastným výkladom. Ale nemôžeme ju zahatať a zmraziť. Či už bol Černoboh len slovným obratom, modlou celkom iného boha, alebo faktickou entitou na prelome pohanstva a kresťanstva, postupne sa stal aj čímsi ďalším. A Ďurov príspevok do všeobecného povedomia je dosť slušným základom pre ďalšie zaujímavé zákruty.

Nech teda oheň na Kančej hore planie vytrvalo a vytie vlčích besov znie doďaleka.

PICK A CARD: What Era Is Your Beauty From?

☯︎ “A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.” ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Disclaimer: This is a general reading, take what resonates. I am not suggesting any of these descriptions are cannon to your ancestral history, these are just how my intuition perceived, and then presented your beauty’s energy.

p1 → p2 ↙︎ p3 → p4

🂽 Pile One 🂽 (the devil, 2oC rev., ace of cups rev., 4oW, 3oC, king of swords, the tower, the world)

❖ Pile one, I feel like I’m watching the Game of Thrones out of context. Just flashes of people from around the Medieval 1400s living their day-to-day; singing, dancing, eating together, and then… not.

❖ The imagery I got when I asked what era your beauty came from, was very longing in nature. There was a lot of joy and celebration but it felt like I was watching the film through teary eyes and a heavy heart.

❖ The “movie” flashed between a thriving culture sharing tales of triumph and having happy, drunk sing-song moments together; and then those same people under a war-torn regime of a very cruel but powerful man. I sense themes of religious persecution, nationwide government-forced famine, and general desecration of the once-peaceful way of life. The population was going through collective mourning.

❖ People lamented over their unfulfillable desire to reconnect with their homeland and all of their loved ones. With the World card at the end of the spread and the Empress at the bottom of the deck, I get the clear image that your beauty is the physical embodiment of a large collective’s longing for the sanctity of their community. You invoke that feeling people get when they remember a bitter-sweet memory that hums fervor in their chest and gives them the fire they need to push forward.

❖ Your beauty comes from an era where the genuine smile and cheer of a pretty girl sparked a nation’s hope for reformation. You are the last remaining connection to long-lost celebration and the heart of a forgotten city.

How Do You Paint The Divine Image of Hope?

🂽 Pile Two 🂽 (7oC rev., 4oP rev., full moon, leo, sacral chakra)

❖ WHOOOAAaaaaa Ammberrr is the collluuhhhhh of ya enneergyyy!! WHOoaaA, shades of gaawwllddd displayyy naturraalllyyyyyy…..

❖ Just know I was HOLLERING that. This is my hippie pile. My people. Yea that’s right, I’m talking the late 1960s - early 1970s.

❖ Your beauty arose at a time when society desperately needed color (specifically seeing some of you wearing a lot of bright colors or eye-catching jewelry or hairstyles). The world was bleak and the war’s aftermath on the overall mental and emotional welfare of the general public pushed people to radical ideals and birthed a revolution centered around liberation, pleasure, and community.

❖ Your beauty is all sunshine and rainbows. Psychedelics and organic food. The best music in human history (feel free to argue with me, but know that it is going straight out the other ear, mama) and week-long outdoor festivals full of peace, love, and vulnerability with total strangers.

❖ Your beauty brushes people with the chilling winds of shameless pleasure. The taste of unadulterated personal freedom that is almost a societal taboo. Your beauty is so purely liberating.

❖ Lmao, I imagine a guitar riff going off everytime you walk into a room.

❖ You are the physical embodiment of eccentric love and vivacious rebellion.

Play That Funky Music

🂽 Pile Three 🂽 (The lovers rev., the High Priestess rev., Ace of Swords., 4oC. 7)

❖ Revolution is a running theme for all of the piles. This collective’s beauty awakens people.

❖ I’m seeing a brilliant man going mad at the lack of creative intelligence around him and pushing for societal rebirth. A complete cultural shift from the Dark Ages (pile one), to modernity. This is my Renaissance pile.

❖ You embody the mystical fusion of art, religion, architecture, and science. You are all the world’s intrinsic beauty rolled up into one figure. You are the art that attracts painters, inventors, and philosophers alike.

❖ You have the beauty of an all-around muse. You invoke the spirit of creative passion. It is like people see you and get a stroke of inspiration. Something that kicks them in the ass and tells them to go outside and create.

❖ This pile is very romantic. A classical beauty, like red roses and bottle poems. The universal innate desire to dream big.

❖ Shoutout to my Aquarians, 11th housers, and Shatabhisha natives.

The Medieval-Modern Muse

🂽 Pile Four 🂽 (king of pentacles, 2oP, 5oP rev., 9oP)

❖ OKAY PLOTWIST?? I don’t know what era this pile’s beauty is from because it’s set in the future.

❖ It’s funny how the last piles were all set in periods of revolution (putting in the WORK) and your pile, the final pile, is set in a better world full of financial stability, the end of inequality, economic fairness, and universal abundance (the fruits of the labor).

❖ Dude, I was trying to read the message at first and was just scratching my head. I was like, “When has anywhere, literally ever been this good???” Then I saw the ace of wands reversed at the bottom of the deck and saw impending change and it clicked.

❖ I also saw some star semblance, and see that your beauty is a reminder to mankind that the “impossible” is already set in motion. The hell we have created will crumble.

❖ You are a physical embodiment of society’s future triumph. You radiate wealth and fairness. My Venusians, especially Libra. You also look regal, something about you makes people want to stand taller.

❖ You got the pride card, I see that you give people the feeling of victory. You are living proof of future triumph in a better world where greed and sorrow are eradicated.

❖ You are the harbinger of the next era.

OKAY SO what with the TWO new Hermits implied by the updated banner I will say that, though the Skizz truthers have me convinced, I now have room to do my own crazy red string monologue and throw my hat in for my choice

1) Mythical J. Sausage (the J is silent) is a multitalented S-tier builder that absolutely deserves to be shoulder to shoulder with the Hermits. The man does buildings, interiors, terraforming, custom trees, and he does them SO WELL.

2) The production values!!! Beautiful replay mod sequences with shifting camera perspectives, shaders, music that sets the tone for each segment that's different from series to series. He already has more than a million followers on YouTube and for good reason!!

3) He has been SO consistent lately. He started a hardcore world about three months ago (about the time you might expect the Hermits to finalize their s10 choices maybe...???) and already has 15 episodes and hasn't gotten involved in any other big content. (He did just start playing a little of the BCG server but from what I understand that's super casual /copium copium copium).

4) That hardcore world is conveniently about to reach a good "pause" point. He started his world on a cherry blossom biome island that he's filled with a medieval village and starter farms, he's said it's almost full and what's left is the castle. I'm guessing the new season will start the first week of February, so if Sausage puts out a video this week building out that Castle and finishing that island it will be MIGHTY CONVENIENT TIMING.

5) This man can GRIND. His Hardcore world hasn't even been going half a year and he's built... So much??? Magnificent! And when he was on the Hermitcraft server he did the Razorcrest for scar AND the player head baby yoda/stormtrooper merch AND the noteblock themesong AND still built in the xmas village and other "diamond of peace" and so many other shenanigans. Did the man even sleep? He can grind with the best of them.

6) He can do redstone, too! Maybe not unique designs, I honestly don't know, but he builds farms for build materials no problem.

7) The DRAMA this man loves his improv and his backstory and trauma lore! For every series he does! Can you imagine if he gets to interact with Ren for an extended period of time, what that would do to them, to us?? Give Martyn a run for his money!!

8) Which brings me to my next point, which is that Sausage is already One of The Gang, because he's been in series with so many of the Hermits already! Empires and the crossover, obviously, but also Pirates with Cleo and Origins with Scar, and he's even done MCC! Joel is the only other player with the same depth of different series but there are other people truthing him already.

9) The EPIC BROMANCE with Pearl. My god the devotion of this man to his sunflower goddess bestie. I would try to do ot justice but y'all have seen floweroflaurelins work, you already know.

10) He's already a PG streamer but with HILARIOUSLY PG-13 tendencies. Imagine him and Cleo cracking each other up at an HHH stream, *grips your shoulders* IMAGINE IT.

11) Sausage comes with his own mascot in the form of interdimensional dog extraordinaire Bubbles, but he's also just an animal lover on general. Mans drinks his "I love Jellie" juice and had her in his world even before the sad news of her loss.

12) Diversity win! No one should be hired just for their gender, race, sexuality etc etc unless it's truly necessary to the job, but we were all happy when more women got added to the server in s8 and I know a lot of people would be happy to see some ethnic diversity added, too.

... That bulletin board had a lot more pins in it than I thought it did but anyway MYTHICALSAUSAGE TRUTHERS/ALL OTHER TRUTHERS RISE UP SPEAK YOUR TRUTH! we'll only get to wildly speculate for a few weeks so we might as well make it everyone else's problem ENJOY IT TO THE FULLEST!!

In Your Modern World (a Chemical Override minishot)

Ewan Mitchell x actress!reader

a/n: so this lil baby is set some time in part 5, around late August, when they were at the height of their initial relationship. Also, this references the bonus chapter In the Modern World. No taglist for surprise minishots - I hope this will find the chem ov readers in due time! <3

series masterlist ▪︎ main masterlist

The reader and Ewan finally watch his music video. With some interruptions...

"So the concept to this is very straightforward. It's about Martin, and he's a recluse, an aimless youth of sorts, and..." Ewan's words come out in a nervous flurry as he places your laptop atop the duvet. "Do you remember what I told you about it? I mean... that was nearly two months ago, was it? But - "

You can't help but smile at his endearing ramble. "Baby," you say soothingly, letting him wrap an arm around your shoulders. "I'm sure I'll love it."

He presses a soft kiss to your temple. "I haven't seen the final cut myself. I hope I did well."

"It's already the music video of the year," you say with a smirk, brushing your lips against the corner of his, "as long as you're in it."

His cheeks flush, the sight of it making your heart flutter. You can't resist leaning in to kiss him again. It's meant to be momentary, but his hand finds its way to the back of your head, keeping you in place so that the kiss deepens. His other hand snakes its way underneath your shirt - his shirt, oversized on your frame - kneading the flesh of your waist.

"Kissing was a bad idea," he rasps. "Now I don't wanna do anything else."

"Oh, oh!" you gasp and pull back when his hand starts to inch your shirt upward, "Hold on there, baby. Music video time."

He groans in protest, his forehead resting against yours, a teasing smile on his lips. "Alright, then. But the next time I kiss you, there'll be no interruptions."

"Fine," you roll your eyes. Then you reach out and press play on the video.

It opens with Ewan as Martin, black wig and all, brooding heavily as he scrutinises his slimey pet. You spot something in the background immediately. It's right there for viewers to see.

Before you can process it, the shot quickly cuts to another scene of him with a thin paintbrush in his hand, hunched over some figurine. Then another, and another... Martin in his room, going about his humdrum and aimless routine. You spot it - yourself - flashing in and out of the frame.

To your side, Ewan is silently chuckling at your surprised expression. Your lips are parted slightly, eyes squinting like you don't believe what you just saw. He waits for it, gazing at you fondly, forgetting all about his piece of work playing on the laptop.

You let your thoughts win over, hitting pause.

As if in slow motion, you turn to face him, the question practically bubbling from your lips. "Was that me?"

"What was that, darlin'?" He absently twirls a lock of your hair, trying - and failing - to keep a straight face.

You raise your eyebrows, challenging him with a look that says Really?

He laughs. "Yes, I asked to have a poster of Alyna Rivers on Martin's wall. Seemed fitting."

"Seemed... fitting?" you reply. "A grunge boy with a poster of a medieval fantasy character? How does that make sense?"

"Martin likes her," he shrugs, grinning mischievously, "What can I say?"

"Martin?" you tease. "Or Ewan Mitchell?"

"Martin likes you," he taps the tip of your nose, "But Ewan... is in love with you. Completely obsessed."

You shake your head, unable to fight the rush of pleasant warmth to your cheeks.

"There is a difference, darling," he clarifies in a husky whisper.

You glance back at the screen, where the video is paused on a shot of Martin sitting in the car.

"Well, he is pretty hot," you admit with a smirk. "All dirty and reckless."

"Hmm," he chews on his lip, "is he?"

Your hand moves to press play again, but his own darts out to stop you.

His voice is a low, seductive rumble. "Think you can fix him? Think you can fix poor Martin?"

Your lips stretch out in a sultry smile, eyes glinting at his playful instigation. He nuzzles into the crook of your neck, giving in to the pull of distraction. The rest of the music video can wait; he's in it anyway, he's got some clue as to how it goes.

"I think I can, I think I can," you whisper humorously in that famous playground chanting, desire bleeding through your words.

"Lucky Martin," he breathes against your skin, "should I be jealous?"

Instead of answering, you lean forward, pressing your body flush against his and reclaiming his lips, remembering when he said that the next time you do, there will be no interruptions.

Martin can wait. Or he can watch, in the back of your minds, why the hell not?

You push the laptop aside, then climb on top of your boyfriend, straddling his thighs. He smirks openly, in pure satisfaction.

You ask, "Why don't we give him something to be jealous about?"

The Jedi Temple. Nice warm night. Under Ayala Secura’s window.

A group of several troopers from different battalions, Padawans and older younglings. All play musical instruments borrowed\stolen from Mace Windu’s theatre club. The frontman is Bly, singing a love song composed especially for Ayala. Lyrics are sappy, but sweet nonetheless.

Wolffe is recording everything while facepalming.

Several late-nighters, both clones and Jedi, who were wandering through the territory, are cheering the band.

Yoda is nearby, swaying a bit to the music, leaning on his stick. He’s smiling.

Ayala is hanging out of her window, waving her handkerchief in style of Earth’s medieval ladies.

Those who are woken up by the noise, cannot feel upset much (only a bit disgruntled) and cannot help but smile sweetly to the scene.

The song ends, and Ayala Force-jumps out of the window into Bly’s waiting arms. They kiss passionately while the audience cheers.

Obi-Wan, leaning into Cody’s shoulder, with an exaggeratedly enamored voice: Darling, why don’t you ever sing a song for me?

Cody, sighing: Have you not heard me singing in the shower?
