LEGEND OF LOVE

It was in the old good times when people lived in harmony with nature and each other. There were no wars, murders, deceit and betrayal. People deified the planet Earth, on which they lived and worshiped the Goddess of the Living Earth. They built temples for her, brought the fruits of their labor. In one of the villages in the temple of the Goddess of the Living Earth, twelve beautiful maidens lived. They helped the Chief Priestess in her numerous rituals inspired by the Great Cosmos, and in their free time from rituals they loved to ride frisky horses across the steppe, swim in deep mountain lakes, swing on the branches of trees in dark woods. The girls were strong witches. From many villages they brought their daughters to the priestess so that she would teach them her magical arts: to turn into various animals, to extract from the air various items never get old. But out of many thousands of applicants, only twelve girls were selected by the Grand Priestess according to one principle known to her. The girls were trained in healing and sorcery, they knew how to instantly disappear and suddenly appear, they stopped arrows and spears with their eyes. After a year of study, the girls took the rite of passage into the priestesses of the Goddess of the Living Earth and went to other villages to serve in temples dedicated to the most powerful Goddess of the planet.

All of them were different from ordinary people extraordinary light. When the girls were galloping together across the steppe, a column of light coming from them was visible for many kilometers. They could heal any disease with a single glance or touch. From the strength of their love, surprisingly talented children appeared, and husbands became great masters. Wherever such women lived, the arts flourished, love and beauty reigned. Far beyond the borders of the country of the Goddess of the Living Earth, there was fame about the students of the Great Priestess, many men wanted such women as their wives. But the love of such a girl was not easy to earn. Each of them knew how to read minds, could find out her future and her unborn children. If a student left the temple, then another girl from many thousands of applicants was chosen to take her place. But the wheel of history has turned. There were men who thought they were stronger than women and the Chief Deity must be male. They began to change the rites at their discretion, to appoint men as priests. But without the power of the great priestesses, the male deity was weak.

One day, a terrible Black sorcerer appeared on earth. He wanted to become the ruler of the entire planet. With the help of his black sorcery, he learned that the love of one of the dedicated high priestesses could make him the most powerful Priest. The sorcerer gathered his warriors and went to war against the country of the Great Goddess of the Living Earth. The planet Earth groaned. For the first time people began to kill people, violated Great world and cosmic balance. The warriors tried to capture the sorceresses, but the sorceresses knew why the sorcerer needed them, and were not given to the warriors alive. Warriors approached our village. The Chief Priestess calculated that the warriors of the Black Sorcerer would soon appear, gathered her students for advice. Together with the villagers, eleven girls went to defend the village. The twelfth sorceress, her granddaughter Zarina, was kept by the priestess. This girl was one of the most powerful sorceresses and had to eventually replace the Chief Priestess in the temple of the Great Goddess of the Living Earth.

Already at the age of five, the girl's abilities appeared. Even without initiation, she shone with a special light, and caravans stopped from the radiance of her blue eyes, animals and birds bowed before her, the sick were cured. The main priestess began to think how to save the girl and her magical fate, how to preserve the knowledge for posterity, invested in a small head. After all, even the uninitiated saw a bright glow around the girl, the light of blue eyes betrayed her magical properties. The priestess, as best she could, began to muffle the radiance of the girl, performing over her magical rite. The girl's outer light faded, but the blue glow of her eyes remained. But also magical abilities temporarily lost Zarina. And the soldiers of the evil sorcerer have already captured the village. There was not enough time for the Priestess to complete the rite. She hid the girl under a black cloth and sent her to the children who were hiding in the temple. The door was already broken, the soldiers ran into the temple, seized the Chief Priestess, dragged her out into the yard.

And in the yard on a horse, the leader of the Black Sorcerer's troops, the priest of the male deity Tollion, was waiting for her. Only he was entrusted with the secret by a black sorcerer. The leader had already counted eleven apprentices of the priestess among the fallen defenders of the village. Where is the twelfth? Only a handful of children and a few infirm old people remained from the inhabitants of the village. Which of them? The warriors began torturing the Chief Priestess, but she silently endured all the tortures. The leader began to circle around the children and the elderly, and, lowering his eyes to the ground, with his intuition looked through which of them would give himself away. The High Priestess groaned, and Tollion saw the eyes of a little girl flare with blue light. He ordered to take the girl in his convoy, and to kill and burn the rest of the inhabitants, including the Chief Priestess. One of the warriors grabbed the girl, wrapped her in the cloth with which she was covered, laid her across his horse and touched the reins. Zarina heard only the screams and groans of her dying friends. The leader of the warriors did not tell anyone that he had found the apprentice of the priestess, the great sorceress. The girl was too small. He doubted his choice, decided to watch her.

Tollion was always very harsh with women. After spending one night with them, the next morning he gave it to the first warrior he met from his detachment. The warriors thought that this time he would act as always. Although the girl was small, she was so attractive and beautiful that the soldiers began to argue who would get it. small miracle. One of the soldiers even stood guard at the leader's tent so as not to miss the moment. Imagine his surprise in the morning when the stern Tollion did not take the girl out of the tent. He left her with him. Day after day, the girl lived next to him, in the evenings she talked with him. Warriors after raids on neighboring villages and cities brought various dishes, and the leader fed Zarina from his own hands. Tollion saw that her Blue eyes had a calming effect on people, birds and animals sat at the feet of little Zarina, the wounds of his warriors healed by themselves. He did not allow anyone to her, ordered his soldiers not to tell anyone about the girl.

Neither more nor less time passed, the girl fell in love with the leader for affectionate attitude To her. He also understood how dear the girl became to him. In one of the quiet nights they knew the power of great love. But the lovers were careless in their feelings. In moments of love, their souls rose into the space of the Great Cosmos, weaved their energies, the blue light of love of the two great priests Tolion and Zarina sparkled brightly in the sky. The Black Sorcerer saw a pillar of bright light and realized that he had been deceived. He began to look for Tollion and Zarina, the only sorceress left alive after his raids on the Land of the Living Earth. The lovers could not get away from the chase, they were betrayed by a warrior who stood guard at the leader's tent. They seized the leader and the girl of the servant of the Black Sorcerer. The Black Sorcerer began to conjure, his dark forces ask the question: can he become the most powerful man on earth. And he learned that the matter could still be improved if he ate Zarina's heart and drank Tollion's blood. But the Sorcerer wanted to perform his bloody ritual in such a way as to teach a lesson to his former comrade, the leader of the warriors. The sorcerer decided that in front of Tollion he would kill the girl and eat her heart. The bound leader of the warriors was hung over the abyss, and a sacrificial table was placed nearby and a girl was placed on it.

Silently, the lovers looked at each other with love, realizing that they were parting forever in this world. But Zarina and Tolion knew that they were bound forever unearthly love. While the Sorcerer was preparing to perform the ritual, the little sorceress and the leader of the warriors swore that they would never part, that they would always meet in other incarnations and love each other, no matter what it cost them. Their great love already written on the waves of the Great Cosmos, and now also bound by a strong oath of two wizards. Then the Black Sorcerer tore out the girl's heart, it froze forever in its beating. With bloody hands, the villain put it in his mouth, quickly ate it so that no one could stop him. The leader shouted wildly, having lost his beloved. He could not remain silent and told the sorcerer that he would not succeed, because a strong oath forever binds him and the sorceress for all time. Howled, spun like a top Evil sorcerer. He will never be the most powerful man on earth. The only thing he could do was curse their love.

"Let this woman never know the feelings of love, and you, my old friend, in all ages you will serve women, and your the only love if you meet, you will not be able to be with her. In all ages!" With these words, the sorcerer cut off the rope on which the leader hung and threw him into the abyss. The soul of a person can come back to earth several times, incarnate in the images of other people. Zarina and Tollion were embodied many times, but could not reconnect in his love. And to prevent this from happening, the Black Sorcerer taught people to sacrifice the lives of boys and girls in honor of their male Deity. The more young people are killed on the altar of his insatiable God, the less likely it is to meet lovers in this life. To Great Love has never triumphed on earth.People, blindly trusting the black priests, killed each other without regret, gave their children to be torn apart by the Gods.

Animals took an example from people and also killed their children and comrades. For many thousands of years reigned dark time on the Earth where love has gone. The Earth itself has changed, darkened from grief. The sun covered its face from such a planet, began to shine with a different light, so as not to stain its pure rays with evil coming from people. Many thousands of years have passed since then. The Black Sorcerer has long been gone, the Male Deity, in whose honor young people were sacrificed, has disappeared forever. The sorcerer did not take into account that the Great Love is recorded in the Cosmic Chronicle, the Universe exists only when Love exists. She returned to Earth. I began to search and connect all lovers. The time will come, the little sorceress and the leader of the warriors will return to Earth and unite in their love so that peace, goodness and beauty will be restored on the planet again, as it was in the distant old days.

A young man lived in a village. And he was in love strongly and unrequitedly with the first beauty in the whole district. The girl owned the hearts of almost all the young men in the district, but she did not give preference to anyone.

And then the young man decided to become a strong and courageous warrior. He rose to the rank of officer, distinguished himself in battle, matured and returned as a hero to his native village. But she didn't even look at him.

And again about the main thing - about mutual understanding.
Someone once (whether it was John Gray with his useful books about relationships, or someone before him) came up with the idea that Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus. Everyone has heard about it, but no one takes it seriously. An intricate invention - nothing more. Artifice. But after all, like any good metaphor, it can help to better understand and see what we sometimes forget. And it's good when someone appears who will remind you of this.

This is perhaps the most famous legend of the Carpathians.

In one Carpathian village there lived a guy who was nicknamed Prut.
Somehow he earned money in the mountains and decided not to go home, but to spend the night right in the forest. He found himself a tall, slender spruce and settled under it. And he had a strange dream - as if she had come to him beautiful girl, all in green. The girl stroked his hair and sang a song. But, as soon as the guy extended his hand to her, she immediately disappeared. He woke up and no one was around. I noticed only a green ribbon on a branch.
The girl sunk into his soul, and he decided to find her.

The next evening he again settled down under the same spruce, but did not sleep. It was already dark, and he saw that girl appear from under the ground and go straight to the place where Prut hid. As soon as she approached the tree, the guy jumped out and hugged her. He asked her name. At first she looked at him in fear, but then she smiled and said: “Goverla.

But the king found out about this and became angry. He went to the sorcerer and told him to hide Goverla. In the morning people woke up and saw a new peak among the mountains, covered with snow, as if with a white cap.

It was Goverla, which the sorcerer turned into a mountain peak.

And Prut went. I struggled through the thicket, wet my feet in the mountain streams. So the sun is rising, but Prut does not have time to climb to the top. He sat down under the tree and wept bitterly. From this place, where he wept, a river flowed down, which hugged the mountain for centuries.

/ Prut and Hoverla / Legend /

Once the teacher asked his students:
Why do people scream when they fight?
“Because they lose their calm,” said one.
“But why shout when the other person is next to you?” the Teacher asked. Can't you talk to him quietly? Why scream if you're angry?
The students offered their answers, but none of them satisfied the Teacher.
Finally he explained:
– When people are dissatisfied with each other and quarrel, their hearts move away. In order to cover this distance and hear each other, they have to shout. The more angry they are, the farther they move away and the louder they shout.
What happens when people fall in love? They do not shout, on the contrary, they speak softly. Because their hearts are very close, and the distance between them is very small. And when they fall in love even more, what happens? continued the Teacher. – They do not speak, but only whisper and become even closer in their love.
- In the end, even whispering becomes unnecessary for them. They just look at each other and understand everything without words.

And they listened to everyone and smiled and did not tell anyone that She made Him an ideal: He could not be different, because he was next to Her. This was their little secret.
She waited for Him, met and saw off, warmed their house, so that He would be warm and comfortable there. And everyone said: "Still would! How not to carry it on your hands, because it was created for the family. No wonder he's so happy!"

And they only laughed and did not tell anyone that She was created for a family only with Him, and only he could feel good in Her house. It was their little secret.
He walked, stumbled, fell, got frustrated and tired. And everyone said: “Why does she need him, so beaten and exhausted, because there are so many strong and confident around”.

But no one knew that there was no one in the world stronger than Him, because they were Together, and therefore stronger than everyone. This was Her secret.
And She bandaged His wounds, did not sleep at night, was sad and cried. And everyone said: “What did he find in her, because she has wrinkles and bruises under her eyes. After all, why should he choose a young and beautiful one?

But no one knew that She was the most beautiful in the world. Can anyone compare in beauty with the one they love? But that was His secret.
They all lived, loved and were happy. And everyone wondered: “How can you not get bored with each other for such a period? Don't you want something new?"

And they didn't say anything. It’s just that there were only two of them, and there were many of them all, but they were all one at a time, because otherwise they wouldn’t have asked about anything. It was not their secret, it was something that cannot be explained, and it is not necessary.

A young girl was walking along the embankment with her friend, who was an old sailor.
In the life of the girl, not everything was smooth, she was tormented by some of her life problems, and she walked, immersed in these worries. The girl pretended to listen to her friend, but she sighed heavily every now and then.
Naturally, a friend noticed the girl's feelings and could not remain indifferent.
He asked her:
– Do you think that if I fell into the water now, I would definitely drown?
The girl leaned over the railing and looked down at the raging cold waves.
Of course you would drown! she said and shuddered.
But the sailor said:
- I doubt! I have never in my life seen anyone drown just because they were in the water. I'll only drown if I stay there.
“Look how strong the waves are and the water must be icy!” - said the girl, wrapping herself in a coat. “Even if you stay alive, you will definitely end up in the hospital with hypothermia.
“Only if I stay in the water too long,” her friend persisted. - I'm a sailor! I've fallen into the water many times, so I know exactly what I'm talking about. When I first fell, I was terribly scared. But then I realized that nothing threatens me if I quickly get out back.
The same is true of your problems! - the friend turned to the girl affectionately. – Instead of sighing and suffering, you better think about how you can get out of all this as soon as possible!

More often than not, the problem lies not in the problem itself, but in how we perceive it.

Legend. We fell in love

- So, - summed up the Reason, - we fell in love. That's great, but who do I have to thank for this?
“Us, of course,” said Eyes, “we saw her first!”
“Ha,” said Ears, “do you think if he were blind he wouldn’t fall in love?” No, it was through us that he heard a gentle voice!
“Fools, it’s all about the pheromones or whatever! Nose chuckled. - Modern chemistry proved that it was through the smell ...
“But we touched her first!” - Ruki interrupted.
“And if it weren’t for us, he simply wouldn’t be able to approach her,” Nogi concluded importantly.
- And what were you doing at that time? Mind turned to Heart. It blushed:
- And I ... nothing ... I'm so lost...
And the Mind smiled 🙂

Once a boy at a school party gave flowers to the wrong girl. The girl was surprised, but she took the flowers. Thus ended the story of female friendship and began a love story.

This story is as old as the world. One day a boy at a school party dedicated to the day March 8, gave flowers to the "wrong" girl. The girl was surprised, but she took the flowers. Thus ended the story of female friendship and a love story began.

A legend roams the world that when a person comes to this world, his soul splits into two and then these halves look for each other to unite ... But there is nothing in nature more dissimilar than male and feminine. She is an excellent student, quiet. He is a bully and a loser, the dream of girls, tall, strong, confident.

Here I would like to tell you what the boy said to the girl that evening. important words, and the girl reciprocated, but this, probably, happens only in fairy tales or does not happen at all.

In the evening, the girl returned alone, and the boy escorted home "that" girl, whom he was supposed to give flowers. And it seemed that this story ended before it even began.

But they met after high school. She became a pretty girl, and He remained a bully and a joker, confident in himself and in his ambitions. Then they decided to get married. He proposed to her and she accepted.

After a few years, doctors told her that she would not be able to conceive. I will not bother readers with medical terms, almost every fifth woman is diagnosed with infertility in Russia. It was then that the worst began. She began to abuse alcohol, and he began to walk, and the halves of one soul, which was destined to become one, suddenly found themselves in a terrible void.

Do you believe in magic? Probably, if it weren’t for faith in the best thing on earth - love, which still saved my heroes, I would never have been able to write this story, except to invent it.

On December 25, 2001, a pregnancy test showed those cherished two strips that He and She had been waiting for for a long 8 years. He was crying as he knelt before her. And then there were flowers, a sea of ​​flowers, and it seemed to her that now the whole world lay at her feet.

On January 22, 2002, they got married. And in the light church candles the two halves seemed to wake up from a long sleep, merged into one, and the soul found peace. Their names were entered in the Church Book of Fates.

10 years after the day in which the boy gave flowers to the “wrong” girl at a school evening dedicated to March 8, those important words were finally spoken that marked the beginning of a new life in which He, She and not yet a born little angel became a Real Family.

Under the window - a mother and a teenage son. Probably, he was guilty again, because she screams: "I am for you ... everything for you ... I am educating ... all my life ...". The teenager replied to a long speech a short phrase: "I didn't ask you." I feel sorry for my mother, but I catch myself on a seditious thought: "And the boy is right!" "Children don't need you" to give them best years life" and put their whole life on them. The only thing they really want from you is your unconditional love. If your love for a child is unconditional, that is...

One of my favorite books is Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, I was attracted by an unusual, mystical plot. On the one hand, the action takes place in a completely real life. No fictional worlds for you, which science fiction writers love so much, but which personally do not arouse interest in me. Mysticism in Bulgakov's novel, I would say, folklore: demons, witches, talking cats- all this seems to be from the pages of Russian fairy tales. On the other hand ...
