Morning Star - Lyrics - Radigost
Radegast, also Radigost, Redigast, Riedegost or Radogost is an old god of Slavic mythology. Since the name can easily be etymologised as meaning something like âDear guestâ, Radegast was proclaimed as the Slavic god of hospitality and as such entered the hypothetical, reconstructed Slavic pantheon of modern days. Even myths concerning him were constructed based on various folk customs of sacred hospitality. Similar customs, however, are known in many Indo-European mythologies without a distinct deity associated explicitly with them. Another possible etymology may be from Slavic "rada" - council, and "goÅciÄ", "hostit", "goszczÄ
cy" - to host, Radogost being the name of the council or assembly host, leader, or speaker, and one of the attributes of the god. This view could be supported by the political role Radegast temple played in the life of West Slavic tribes. According to some literary sources he is also the god of war, night, fire and the evening sky. He likes to invite to the banquets, is completely black and is armed with a spear and helmet.
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
The abyss of forgotten dreams and desperate thoughts
was lost in the"bright"light of half God.
Evil embodiment of your vicious hopes,
I was lost in the labyrinth of the being.
Blind ones saw me and deaf ones heard me.
They didn't know that they are part of me and I am part of them.
Shining morning star, shining brighter than other stars,
I cry in the loneliness, face to face with my thoughts.
Can you hear me?
Lost in the forest of desires, I walk my path with you.
The beast hidden in your soul, the star in your mind.
