Intra Day (Indra) (18/01)

Intra (Indra, Zmiulan, Indrik-beast, Vyndrik) — son Zemun from Dy (Night Sky), brother «Lizard» and his opponent. Intra is the god of springs, wells, snakes and clouds. The connection with the water elements indicates his nature (Nav in East Slavic mythology the spirit of death, as well as the dead).

On the night, the veduns started talking about the pipes of the houses through which Nav entered the houses. Intra — is an inhabitant of the dungeon, and in the legends of the Slavs it is said this way: « Both the Sun in the sky and Intra — in Navi».

In the Indian Vedas Intra — it is a demon and a snake king. The latter is indicated by the fact that Interia is inhabited by snakes, and Intra — itself is the husband of the Serpent Paraskeva. According to the Slavic Vedas, Zmiulan — is the winner of the goat-Pan (son of Viy), essentially — his cousin (since Dy and Viy are brothers).

In the acts of the Intra there is valor, baseness, fair victories, and cruelty. Despite being the husband of a snake demon, he fights on the same side as Perun. He is closest to the people from «Military Triglav» (Perun-Intra-Volkh). If Perun — is pure «military truth», Magus — sorcery, cruelty and dark anger, then Intra — is Light and Darkness, a struggle of opposites.

Intra, riding a unicorn, — is the patron saint of warriors, a symbol representing military valor and courage.

Sensitive Intra, hear our call! Take our chants! Oh, we know you, ardent bull! Defeat the enemy, powerful Intra! Crush the power of the Viev tribe!
