Kuzhebarian tales say about three mystical
birds, who are providers of different power-sorces. For
mortals, however, the birds were dangerous and indifferent at
the same time.
One of them symbolizes darkness, another
light and the third one wisdom.
Kuzhebarian people believed that each of
these birds come to each person one time a life and everybody
has to choose with which of them to be connected. People
give their emotions, intentions and thoughts like food to the
birds and birds provide them a power they have.
One gives the power to complain or
to be angry, another the power to be joyful and to laugh, and
the third one gives access to wisdom.
On the left you can see the first one of the
birds, the darkness bird, also called the "gloomy-bird"
in kuzhebarian mythology.
As usually described in kuzhebarian tales it
is shown crying with the symbols of power it gives and takes
above and under its head. The symbols on the frame depict the
ways the gloom-bird can be connected with people.
On the right you can see the Urhat-Bird, the
bird of Light and Joy.
As the ancient kuzhebarian tales say Urhat has four eyes and
one of those is a human one. With it the bird can see the world
in the way the human beeings do. Three other eyes of Urhat are
looking into three different worlds: the spirit world, the world
of living beeing and the "horhu" world - the world
of different living beeings.
Ancient Kuzhebarina tales say that Urhat had tought people how
to create magic sounds by using special devices, that is why
it is always shown playing a flute, a jew s harp or a ghost
catcher.
