Kisah dan tradisi

Moryana adalah roh laut perempuan dalam cerita rakyat Slavia, mungkin seorang dewi; A. M. Remizov menyebutnya dewi laut dan penguasa angin. Ia vodyanitsa laut dan putri Tsar Laut. Kadang moryany disebut sebagai banyak roh laut, semacam rusalka laut yang mengancam kapal, tetapi biasanya Moryana digambarkan sebagai satu sosok. Namanya berasal dari kata more, "laut", dengan akhiran perempuan -yana, kira-kira "dia yang dari laut". Di beberapa daerah Rusia namanya dipakai untuk angin dingin dan keras yang bertiup dari laut ke darat. Karena namanya mirip Morana, ia kadang disamakan dengan dewi itu dan disebut dewi kematian. Ia dipercaya sering berenang jauh di laut dalam wujud ikan besar sambil bermain dengan lumba-lumba, dan hanya naik ke darat pada senja yang tenang. Bila Tsar Laut marah dan badai muncul, Moryana menenangkannya sehingga badai reda. Menurut kepercayaan lain, ia raksasa perempuan berwajah keras dengan rambut kusut dan berbaju putih yang menguasai angin tenggara di muara Volga, berbahaya bagi pelaut di Laut Kaspia; musuh utamanya Ded Shapka Dranaya, penguasa angin barat laut.

Slavic folklore tells of Moryana, a spirit of the sea who may once have been a goddess. Writer A. M. Remizov calls her goddess of the sea and mistress of the winds. She was a sea vodyanitsa and the Sea Tsar's daughter. At times the moryany were said to be many sea spirits, a marine kind of rusalka threatening ships, but Moryana was usually a single figure. Her name comes from more, "sea", with the feminine ending -yana, roughly "she of the sea". In some Russian regions the name is used for the cold, harsh winds blowing from sea to land. Because her name sounds like Morana, she was sometimes identified with that goddess and called the goddess of death. She was believed to swim deep in the sea as a big fish, playing with dolphins, and to come ashore only on quiet evenings. When the Sea Tsar grew angry and a storm rose, Moryana calmed him and the storm died down. In another belief she is a stern giantess with uncombed hair and white clothes who rules the southeast winds at the mouth of the Volga, a danger to sailors on the Caspian Sea; her chief enemy is Ded Shapka Dranaya, lord of the northwest wind.
