Legendary beings of Slovenia



Volkodlak

Franica je skupaj s sestrami predla, brat pa ji je nagajal. Zavpila je nanj, da je volkodlak. Pri tem se je oče, ki je sedel v isti sobi razhudil na Franico in ji rekel, da ne sme nikoli več nikomur reči, da je volkodlak. Za tem je začel pripovedovati zgodbo o nekem Bukovčanu, ki je na poti na Hrvaško srečal volkodlaka. Bukovčan je očetu pripovedoval, da mu je enkrat na poti začela slediti čudna zver, visoke postave in črnorjave barve, volkodlak. Neprestano mu je  sledil. Za njim je prišel tudi domov. Bukovčan je svoji ženi povedal, kaj se mu je pripetilo na poti. Ker je volk Bukovčanu sledil vse do hiše, ga je žena opazila. Dala mu je kos kruha, ker je sklepala, da je lačen. Tako je volkodlak postal zopet človek. Zahvalil se je ženi in ji povedal, da je postal volkodlak, ker ga je mati skupaj z njegovima bratoma zaklela, ker so vedno hoteli jesti topel kruh iz peči. Vsi trije bratje so se nato odpravili po svetu iskat odrešnika, ki jih bo spremenil nazaj v človeka.

Volkodlak je po ljudskem verovanju človek, ki se ob polni luni lahko spremeni v bitje podobno volku. Preobrazba je lahko namerna (z uporabo magije), ali pa nenamerna (s prekletstvom, ugrizom drugega volkodlaka, ali se pa se oseba kot volkodlak že rodi). V obeh primerih je volkodlakova kri okužena oz. uročena.
Volkodlaki naj bi bili imuni na staranje in večino bolezni zaradi stalne regeneracije njihovega tkiva. To naj bi jim omogočalo skorajšnjo nesmrtnost, kljub temu pa lahko podležejo ranam srca in možganov. V moderni fikciji so volkodlaki pogosto predmet avtorjeve domišljije, razločne pa so poteze, znane iz folklore.
Volkodlaki imajo številne opisane šibke točke. Največkrat omenjena je občutljivost na volčjo smrt (aconitum lycoctonum). Zanje so prav tako smrtne posrebrene šibre, ustreljene v volkodlakovo srce. Za razliko od vampirjev, volkodlaki niso občutljivi na relikvije kot so križi, razpela in blagoslovljena voda.


Werewolf 

Franica purred together with her sisters, and brother teased her. She shouted at him, that he was a werewolf. Father, who was in the same room vexed on Franica, and said to her, that she must not say that ever again. So, the father decided to tell his kids a story…
Bukovčan was driving with a truck, and came across the wolf on the way to Croatia. Bukovčan said, that a strange beast, tall character and black and brown colour, started to go by him once on way. It was a werewolf. The werewolf followed a man to his house. Bukovčan's wife noticed the werewolf, and thought he was hungry. She gave him a slice of bread, and all of a sudden, a werewolf was man again. He thanked the woman and told her, that he became a werewolf cause his mother cursed him and his brother, because they always wanted to eat fresh bread, so they went to search for a saviour, who would change them back in to a person. You saved me, thanks for that, he said, and walked out of the house.

A makeover can be intentional (using magic) or unintentional (with curse, a firm of another werewolf or the person as the werewolf had already bore). In both cases, the werewolfs blood is contaminated or cursed.
A werewolf is a person, round folk beliving he can modify to an analogous creature next to the full moon. Transformation can be intentional (with usage of magic), or unintentional (with cure, bit of the other werewolf) a werewolf's blood is infected in both cases. They're immune per gageing and the majority of diseases because of permanet regeneration of their tissue this should allow them virtual immortality, however, shall the heart and brain ranam. In modern fiction werewolves are frequently the subject of the author's imagination, discernable ones are stroke, known from folklore.
Werewolves have a number of described weak points. Most often mentioned is the sensitivity to a wolf's death. Unlike vampires, werewolves are not sensitive to relics such as crosses, crucefixes and blessed water.









Legenda o zlatorogu


Pripovedka o zlatorogu, se je kot odraz povezanosti med človekom in naravo in ohranila skozi stoletja.

Komna je bila včasih planinski raj, kjer so bivale bele žene. Rade so pomagale ženam pri porodih, varovale pastirje in bdele nad pastirji. Varovale so cvetoče, bogate poljane, kjer so se pasle njihove koze. Vodil jih je zlatorog.  Bele žene so mu podarile neranljivost. Nekoč je živel lovec, ki je poznal vse gorske poti in se znal izogniti prav vsakemu plazu, ki so ga sprožile bele vile. Nekega dne je iz pohlepa in želje po ljubezni Zlatoroga ustrelil.

Iz vsake kaplje kozlove krvi je pognala triglavska roža. Zlatorog je pojedel le en sam njen list, na mah ozdravel in pahnil lovca v prepad. V svojem besu je razril najlepše pašnike, da je še danes videti v skalnih tleh odtise njegovih rogov - planinski raj je okamnel. Razočarane bele žene pa so s svojimi kozami z zlatorogom na čelu odšle neznano kam.

Podvodni mož


Podvodnega moža so si ljudje predstavljali kot velikega, zelenega luskastega pa tudi kot kosmatege moža. Ponekod so si ga slikali tudi z ribjim repom. Prebival naj bi v morju, jezerih, rekah, potokih in mlakah in se ljudjem prikazoval v divji podobi ali v podobi starega berača, mladega moža ali cello dečka, ki pleše po vodi. Podvodni mož naj bi živel v podvodnem gradu in naklonjene bi mu bile vse podvodne živali.

Opisi podvodnih mož v slovenskem ljudskem izročilu pogosto spominjajo na grškega boga Pozejdona oz. Neptuna. Tudi poimenovali so ga različno. Rekli so mu povodnjak, jezernik, vodnar, motovilec in še kaj drugega. 


River Man


Aquarius people have posed as a large, green, scaly as well as hairy looks. In some places, they have pictured them with a fish tail. Living in the sea, lakes, rivers and streams. They  appeared in the image of a wild man or in the shape of an old beggar, a young man or even boy who dances on the water. Underwater man is saposed to live in an underwater castle and is woshept by all underwater animals.

Descriptions of the underwater man in Slovenian folk tradition, often remindes us of the Greek god Poseidon or Neptune. He has also been known as povodnjak, Jezernik, Aquarius and other things.







Ljubljanski zmaj



Zmaj
Zmaj je mitološka pošast, ki se pojavlja v mitologiji ljudstev po vsem svetu. Je  simbolj vladarskih in življenskih moči. Po grški, rimski in slovanski etimitologiji ima zmaj isti izvor kot kača. Zmaja so na slovenskem različno poimenovali. Izročilo o zmajih nam ohranja različna imena, ki pa so se skozi čas spreminjala. Zmaji so se včasih razlikovali po izviru in značaju. Izročilo o njih je zelo prepleteno z izročilom o kačah.
Zmaj je mešanica ptiča, kače in kuščarja, zato lahko leti po zraku, živi v vodi, v mitologoji pa ima svoj dom največkrat v jami ali pod zemljo. Boj z zmajem je osrednje dejanje mitov po vsem svetu.

Ljubljanski zmaj
Ljubljanski zmaj je del grba mesta ljubljane. Ponazarja moč, pogum in veličino. Upodobljen je na Zmajskem mostu in v grbu.
Ljubljanski zmaj morda izvira iz legende o Jazonu in argonavtih.
Grški mit govori o Jazonu, ki je s tovariši argonavti ukradel zlato runo kralju Kolhide ob Črnem morju. Zbežali so na ladje Argo in začli v ustje reke donave, namesto da bi krenili proti Egejskem morju. Poti nazaj ni bilo tako, da so pluli naprej. Po legendi so ob prihodu med  današnjo Vrhniko in Ljubljano naleteli na jezero in ob njem barje. Tam je živela močvirska pošast podobna zmaju, ki jo je Jazon ubil. Pravijo, da naj bi bil Jazon tudi prvi ljubljančan.
Različici zgodbe o zmaju sta dve. Po prvi naj bi ga povzeli po svetniku sv. Juriju, ki je zavetnik grajske kapele. Jurij na freskah ali v kipih pogosto stoji ali jezdi in s kopjem ubija zmaja. Zmaj v legendi o sv. Juriju predstavlja staro verovanje prednikov, ki ga nova vera, -krščanstvo- premaga. Grajski grič je bil v antiki svet kraj, kjer so nosilci kulture žarnih grobišč imeli svojo utrdbo in častili svojega boga. Ko so v srednjem veku postavili temelje današnjega gradu, so hoteli tudi simbolizirati zmago nad starodavnim verstvom, zato so tudi posvetili grajsko kapelo sv. Juriju.
S prvo razlago je povezana tudi druga, da se je zmaj razvil iz okrasja na srednjeveškem mestnem grbu, ki je najprej predstavljal le mestno obzidje ali mestna vrata. Drobna žival, narejena kot okras nad grbom, se je v baroku preselila v grb in prerasla stolp in ostalo simboliko v 19. in zlasti v 20. stoletju. Zmaj je bil upodobljen kot del grba na številnih stavbah, ki so bila v lasti mesta.


Ljubljana Dragon



Dragon

The dragon is a mythical monster that appears in the mythology of people around the world. Is the symbol of royal power and life. According to Greek, Roman and Slavic etimitologiji dragon has the same origin as the snake. Of May, the Slovenian different things. The tradition of dragons keeps us different names, but they may change over time. Kites were sometimes varied by the source and nature. The tradition about them is very intertwined with the traditions of the snakes.

The dragon is a blend of bird, snake and lizard, and can fly through the air, live in water, in mitologoji has his home most of the cave or underground. The fight with the dragon is the central act of the myths around the world.



Ljubljana Dragon

Ljubljana dragon, the emblem of the city of Ljubljana. Illustrates the strength, courage and greatness. It is depicted on the Dragon Bridge and the coat of arms.

Ljubljana dragon may come from the legend of Jason and the Argonauts.

Greek myth talks about Jason, who is the fellow Argonauts stole the Golden Fleece king Kolhide the Black Sea. They traveled on the ship Argo and ACLI to the mouth of the Danube River, rather than walked towards the Aegean Sea. Way back there was no way to have sailed on. According to legend, the arrival of today's Vrhnika and Ljubljana faced the lake and the marsh. There lived the swamp monster like a dragon, which Jason was killed. They say that Jason would be the first of Ljubljana.

Version of the story of the dragon are two. The first one was taken from the ga saint St. George, the patron saint of the castle chapel. George on frescoes or sculptures often stands or rides and kills the dragon with a spear. The dragon in the legend of St.. George is an old belief of their ancestors who ga new religion-Christianity-beats. Castle Hill was in the ancient world the place where they carry the Urn Tomb culture had its fort and worship their god. When you are in the Middle Ages, the foundation of today's castle, they wanted to symbolize the victory of the ancient religions, so the chapel dedicated to St.. George.

The first explanation is also related to another that has evolved from a dragon decoration in the medieval town's coat of arms, which represented only the first city walls or gates. Small animals, made as a garnish over the crest, he moved to the Baroque style coat and grow tower and the rest of the symbolism of the 19th and especially in the 20th century. The dragon has been depicted as part of the hump on a number of buildings that were owned by the city.
