Morena

Morena was a slavic goddess of a long and cold winter, a winter that could bring death through famine and extreme cold, and which could cause disease and massive death of the cattle.
Our ancestors used to burn a doll that represented Morena in order to to chase away winter, death and disease.
Her arrival was therefore always expected with fear, and her departure was celebrated with a lot of noise and cheer

As the goddess of winter, Morena was never popular among the Old Slavs
