The Evermore Grimoire: Slavic Mythology
Vesna was the goddess of spring and youth in Slavic mythology. She was also a very popular goddess amongst people because she replaced Morana (goddess of winter & death). In past times, winter was characterised by a scarcity of food from various diseases caused by the cold, and then associated with death. Vesna on the other hand wore the green fields, the meadows, nice weather, favourable to life and work. With these changes in nature Vesna brought joy into the homes of the Slavs. They celebrated spring because it won winter and announced the summer season. Spring also symbolised the beginning of a beautiful season, when it bloomed, nature awoke, all was reborn and renewed life. It is precisely for this reason in particular the Serbs, had the custom of giving the name Vesna to females. People, who gave this name to a daughter, believed that they would be happy and cheerful just like the goddess Vesna, or, as spring. She was also the goddess of victory as she could overcome death and winter, and governed nature.

winter is here
and i miss you
the brisk air you bring by sunrise
with the honeyed dew on the green grass
just a few months between me
and the warmth that comes with the closeness of you
i miss the way you litter the fields
with the narcissi you plant from under
i miss the showers you bring after
to moisture the heart of the soil,
to feed us. oh, how much you give.
i miss the cherry blossom petals
that fall on my cheeks like rain droplets,
i tell myself that it’s a gentle kiss from you
winter has a few months to go,
but i still miss you.

"Back on Earth, Persephone, goddess of spring, was busy bringing the spring season to Greece. At the moment, she was on a hillside planting flowers and melting any leftover snow from the winter."

The Evermore Grimoire: Celtic Mythology
Blodeuwedd was a goddess of flowers, emotions and Spring in Celtic mythology who also was literally created from flowers by two magicians. She was made of oak, broom and meadowsweet and her name translates to ‘Flower-Face.’ Blodeuwedd was made specifically to be the wife of the Lleu Llaw Gyffes who had been cursed by his own mother Arianrhod (goddess of the sky). He instantly fell in love with her, and on the day of their marriage the curse was lifted and he was able to take his rightful kingship. Sadly though, Blodeuwedd was not in love with him and instead she fell in love with a handsome hunter named Gronw Pebyr. As time went on, Blodeuwedd knew Gronw was the man she was meant to be with, and so the two of them decided that in order to be free they would have to kill her husband. However one of the magicians was also her Lleu’s uncle who had placed a protection spell on his nephew. One that only Lleu knew about. However because Lleu was so in love Blodeuwedd he told her everything about the spell even though the method of his death was a riddle in itself: “He could not be killed indoors or out, on horse or foot. The only weapon that could kill him would be a spear that took a year to make and could only kill him during a sacred time.” Over time Blodeuwedd was able to trick her husband into a demonstration of his protection spell which allowed her lover Gronw to pierce him with a spear, which turned Lleu in to an eagle, allowing him to fly away to safety. As punishment for her betrayal, she was transformed into an owl. Blodeuwedd has forever remained in this form, mourning the loss of love and reminding people of two important lessons: relationships are fragile, and that beauty isn’t just skin deep.

They say he burns the world for pleasure,
that he’s the forbidden fruit that will poison me.
But what they don’t know is,
That my heart warms at the sight of the fire he lights at my altar.
And if he’s the poison?
Well then,
I would gladly let his venom seep into my very core.
- Persephone
