Symargl
In his fire form, Simargle appears as a majestic man made of flames. His body emits a bright light, and his every movement is accompanied by flashes of fire. He appears as a tall and strong warrior surrounded by a fiery glow, with burning eyes that resemble red-hot stars. His skin shimmers with all shades of flame — from deep red to bright gold. His every movement evokes tongues of fire, emphasizing his absolute power over the element of fire.
This fiery image of Simargle symbolizes purification, transformation and fertility. He can both bless the harvest and destroy it if he does not receive respect. To appease Simargl in this form, people brought him gifts - bread, grain or milk, leaving them near the hearth or in the temple. Rituals with the lighting of fire had a special meaning, because it was believed that the flame was his embodiment. The fire was not extinguished until the rites were completed, so that Simargl would be pleased and bring fertility to the land and protection for the dwellings. Holy water was also used as protection against his fiery power—not to extinguish, but to bless.
Simargle in the form of a creature with the head of a dog, the body of a snake:
In this form, Simargle appears as a hybrid creature with the head of a dog, the body of a snake, two powerful paws, and a long, coiled tail. His canine head has a penetrating gaze, symbolizing protection and protection, while his snake body emphasizes his flexibility and wisdom. His paws are strong and strong, ready to act both on the ground and underground, because his long serpentine tail is a symbol of cyclicity and the connection between the worlds. This form of Simargle emphasizes his protective nature, as he guards the boundaries between the human world and the forces that might threaten the earth.
To appease Simargl in this form, people performed rituals near the fields, especially during sowing and harvest. Grain, fruit and meat were sacrificed, which symbolized the fertility of the earth and the richness of nature. The rite using grains and fruits was especially important, because it was believed that in this way Simargl, the protector of the land and the harvest, would ensure a good year and protect the crops from adversity. To protect crops from the elements, people also left amulets made of branches in the fields or hung them on fences so that Simargl would not allow evil spirits to harm the plants.
These rites and gifts were intended to appease Simargl and guarantee protection from destructive forces, as well as to bless the crops with bounty and prosperity.
