  1. Kushtaka

    Unreferenced date August 2008 Kushtaka are myth ical creatures found in the stories of the Tlingit people Tlingit and Tsimshian Indians of Southeastern Alaska . Loosely translated, kushtaka means, land otter man . They are similar to the Nat ina of the Dan aina Indians of South Central Alaska, and the Urayuli of the Eskimos in Northern Alaska. Physically, kushtaka are Shapeshifting shape shifter s capable of assuming either human form or the form of an otter . In some accounts, a kushtaka is able to assume the form of any species of otter in others, only one. Accounts of their behaviour seem to conflict with one another. In some stories, kushtaka are cruel creatures who take delight in tricking poor Tlingit sailors to their deaths. In others, they are friendly and helpful, frequently saving the lost from death by freezing. In many stories, the kushtaka save the lost individual by distracting them with curiously otter like illusion s of their family and friends as they transform their subject into a fellow kushtaka, thus allowing him to survive in the cold. Naturally, this is counted a mixed blessing. However, kushtaka legends are not always pleasant. In some legends it is said the kushtaka will imitate the cries of a baby or the screams of a woman to lure victims to the river . Once there, the kushtaka either kills the person and tears them to shreds or will turn them into another kushtaka. Legends have it kushtaka can be warded off through copper, urine, and in some stories fire. Since the kushtaka mainly preys on small children, it has been thought by some that it was used by Tlingit mothers to keep their children from wandering close to the ocean by themselves. Kushtaka in modern literature Kushtaka s appear in Pamela Rae Huteson s Legends in Wood, Stories of the Totems in the legend War with the Land Otter Men , as well as Pamela Rae Huteson s Transformation Masks with the Kushtaka Den and Garth Stein s Raven Stole the Moon .

Description A mythal is created by a circle of Elf Dungeons & Dragons elven High Mages to protect and ward a large area with numerous powerful enchantments. A typical mythal prevents certain Magic Dungeons & Dragons Schools of magic schools of magic from being employed, affects everyone within its bounds to certain magics, and may allow everyone or certain classes of people to call magical effects from the mythal as though using a magical item. It may restrict access of the warded area to certain classes of beings. For example, Silverymoon s mythal excludes evil Dragon Dungeons & Dragons dragons and forbids casting magic to teleport into the mythal. Creation of a mythal sometimes requires the willing sacrifice of the lead caster s life, a result that lead to the first mythal s being named after its creator.

  1. Jur?i

    otheruses2 Jurgi Unreferenced date March 2008 In ancient Latvia , Jur i was a festival held on April 23. It was the beginning of summer, and the first day of outdoor farmwork and shepherding. It was sacred to the god Usins . Livestock were allowed to graze outside after this day. In the morning, their stalls were locked, with a riding crop and a knife hanging above them because Ragana and other evil spirits were on the hunt the night before. A black rooster was sacrificed to Usins, and then eaten by the man. The blood of the rooster was sprinkled around the barns and the ground bones were scattered among the rushes. The horses were bathed and brushed, but nothing else, in order to bring good luck. They were not fed before the sunrise. The farmers gathered under an oak and then let out the livestock, sprinkled with ashes so that bees would not sting them. Three pitchforks full of manure were removed from the stones. Some of the men were given eggs, boiled with hot stones, and these were thrown in shrubs or a knothole in an oak tree. The horses drank the water left over from the baking to help them grow strong. Cows snouts were washed in milk, bringing an increased milk production. A heavy dew on this day also increased milk production. Wolves were warded away by tying a special knot with a sheep s tether and repeating magical words, and by refraining from chopping wood on this day. If possible, washing in the morning snow was good luck. Fires were not lit, warding away fires for the rest of the summer. Washing one s face on this day would cause fires and all washing was done in a river. Beer, bread and mead were laid out for the spirits. Jurgi was often used for moving, preferably on a Saturday. The movers brought the rushes, salt, bread, eggs thrown onto the house, then sprinkled on the pigs , and wisps of hair from the animals from their old house. Milk and brooms were not brought from the old house. On the way to the new house, salt was sprinkled on the ground, pr ...   more details
