about

Conceptual work dedicated to Marzanna (Polish), Slavic goddes of winter. She is an ancient goddess associated with winter's death and rebirth and dreams. In ancient Slavic rites, the death of the Goddess Marzanna at the end of winter becomes the rebirth of Spring of the Goddess Kostroma (Russian), Lada or Vesna representing the coming of Spring.
Marzanna is also the name used to describe the effigy of the goddess, which was ritually burned or drowned during an early spring rite called Jare Święto in order to hasten the approach of spring. The custom of drowning the effigy of Marzanna derives from sacrificial rites; its function was to ensure a good harvest in the upcoming year. Following the principles of sympathetic magic – as described by James Frazer – it was believed that burning an effigy representing the goddess of death would remove any results of her presence (i.e., the winter) and thus bring about the coming of spring.

Crepuscular Rituals are:
Ken Jamison (Crepuscular Entity, Hana Haruna, Basement Corner Emissions) and Sadox (Sado Rituals, Gates of Hypnos).

It's a co-release with Basement Corner Emissions.
