Wicked/Black Lady (Chibiusa) - Marzanna

Marzanna is a Slavic goddess of Life and Death.
Probably the most popular one, as there's still present a specific ritual related to her: every year on March 21th kids (grade schoolers, or kids from  kindergarten) make an effigy of her and go on a short trip to the nearest river to... drown the effigy!
It sounds dark as hell, I know!
But throwing the goddess of Death into the river is supposed to end the winter and bring the spring back

Wicked Lady with her sad story somewhat reminded me of that custom.
I  know pin-ups are supposed to be fun, and refreshing, and kinda erotic, but I  wanted to make one exception and share with you an interesting tradition  from my country
