Marzanna

Maržanna, Mara, Maržena, Morana, Moréna, Mora, Marmora or Morena is a Slavic goddess associated with seasonal agrarian rites based on the idea of death and rebirth of the nature. She is associated with death and winter and often described as the goddess of death. 15th century Polish chronicler Jan Długosz likened her to Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture. Some medieval Christian sources such as the Mater Verborum also compare her to the Greek goddess Hecate, associating her with sorcery.
