Sphere 3 News

What do you know about shamans? Not about demonic shamans in carved masks, conjuring the Abyss and sending curses, but about others, ancient, real? You can live your entire life in Erycuria and not meet a single spirit seer. They live secretly, on the very outskirts of the civilized world, where progress and the war that follows on its heels have not yet reached.

There, on the very edge of civilization, in remote villages in the north, you can still meet one of the real shamans. They are laconic, their faces are always hidden under outlandish headdresses made of leather and fur, and, looking at their bent and emaciated bodies, you might think that they bear the entire weight of this world. In part, this is true.

You cannot become a shaman, their art cannot be learned, their gift cannot even be comprehended. Shamans who speak with spirits are born. Nature itself teaches them to see, hear and cry. He reveals his secrets to them and sends guides to other worlds. But the shaman himself cannot do anything of his own free will. He is only a servant of his people and other, incomprehensible forces. That’s why the load on their shoulders is so heavy, and that’s why they hardly talk to others. It is difficult to be the only sighted person among the blind.

That is why shamans wear their wonderful hats that hide their faces, with eyes sewn on top of the skin and fur, looking forward. Others should not know what truths the shaman sees when performing rituals over the bed of a sick person, over a dead bear, in a clearing under the full moon. These truths are visible only to himself. However, the shaman does not need his own eyes; he sees with his heart. But others would be afraid to ask a blind old man for help.

The shaman’s hat with sewn eyes is a symbol of his limitless power and endless weakness, a symbol of his knowledge and faithful service to others. When trying on this hat, remember what it means. You won’t become shamans, even if you spend a whole year in it, but you will still lightly touch their path, fate and bitter sadness.

However, you can consider it just an interesting souvenir.

There are animals about which they sing songs, there are animals about which they tell tales and joke loudly, there are animals about which they speak in low tones. And there is a beast that is talked about only in whispers, but more often they are simply silent. Even his name is forbidden to be spoken out loud, and if you need to address him somehow, they simply say “master” or “bear.”

The king of the summer forest, whom both animals and small spirits reckon with, fierce in anger, but also a faithful helper in need - if only you know how to show him your respect. Everyone who lives in the forest knows the bear, fears it and has unlimited respect for it.

And everyone also knows that in winter the bear sleeps, and under no circumstances should you wake it up. The king of the forest, who awakens at the wrong time, loses his mind and brings only death and ruin to everything that comes his way. If this happens, residents of the surrounding villages get together and organize a hunt, because otherwise it is simply impossible to stop the raging hungry bear. Each such case is a great tragedy, and bears awaken more and more every year. Pundits believe that the ash that constantly erupts from the Sulfur Heart is to blame. Maybe that's how it is.

But sometimes some wandering shaman may meet the connecting rod, and then the fate of the beast will turn out differently. No one knows how shamans pacify the spirit of the forest king and make his madness recede. Just as no one knows why such bears leave their possessions and stay with the shamans forever.

Sometimes you can meet a spirit seer with a tambourine, traveling on the back of a bear through frozen forests and icy plains. And I tell you, you will never forget this sight!

And sometimes a sorcerer, a warrior, and even a monk can be on the back of a bear! After all, if some shaman manages to save more than one animal, he will have to give it up - always in good hands and for hard cash. Of course, the shamans themselves do not use money, but they are always ready to help their home village.

And even though the riding bear has lost its memory, most of its strength and is no longer the master of the forest, it remains a formidable beast and protector for the one it carries on its back.

The main thing is to remember to feed him enough and always be respectful to him.

Good hunting!

It is difficult to imagine an animal more harmless than a simple hare. He is considered cowardly, weak and stupid. True, only those who have never seen a hare with their own eyes think so. They also probably confuse him with a rabbit.

From time immemorial, the inhabitants of the Sphere peered into the night sky and saw there the silhouettes of various animals: a boar, a bear, a wolf, a bird of prey, a dragon. Among them there was a place for the hare. True, they found it not among a scattering of cold stars, but on the yellowish surface of the moon. The play of light and shadow, piles of rocks and deep gorges seemed to form a face with long ears and a cunning eye. Stargazer scientists refused to include the long-eared animal in the list of celestial animals, but the memory of the Moon Hare remained in the memory of peoples, as did the belief in its miraculous powers.

The Moon Hare is especially known in the North, in the cradle of the human race, where people still live by hunting and gathering, where faith in the forces of nature and the spirits of ancestors is still strong. Shamans often tame hares, considering them to be guides to another world, and wild hares sometimes gather in clearings where shamans perform rituals under the full moon.

Northern shamans believe that in times of great need, if you ask well, the Moon Hare can come to the call and fulfill any desire. Is it so? Perhaps no one knows for sure. But yellow-eyed hares, bearing the stamp of the sun and moon, do exist. They do not fulfill desires, and they do not appear to everyone. They can follow powerful sorcerers and other heroes, bringing them good fortune, dispelling hostile magic, or hiding it from the evil eye.

No one knows where they come from and what is the secret of their amazing power. Maybe this is the Moon Hare coming to the Sphere to get a better look at this world, which he usually looks at from the cold darkness. Or maybe this is just a fairy tale told on a long northern night in the winter hut of the first people.
