Description: Before the Universe was born, before the gods walked the worlds, there was Lada. Known as the World Soul and the Primordial Force of Love, Lada existed within Rod long before creation began. Through her life-giving energy, the sleeping Creator awakened, and the cosmos came into being. As the Great Mother of Slavic mythology, Lada embodies love, beauty, harmony, fertility, and the sacred balance that protects the world from chaos. Together with Svarog, she gave rise to many of the gods of the Slavic pantheon and became a guardian of family, destiny, and prosperity. In Slavic tradition, love is not merely an emotion—it is the force that sustains the Universe itself. 📜 Explore the collection "The High Gods of Slavic Mythology" in my shop Ninth Fern Apothecary
