Mystical birds of Ancient Kuzhebar

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.
