Divi Samodivi

In the majesty of the Bulgarian Balkan,
There is a story of living creatures
Out of our reality…
Divi Samodivi
​

Their home is between two worlds.
Deadly beautiful, wemen-creatures
That knows how to steel a man’s mind…
Divi Samodivi
They dance their infinite,
Magical circle dance,
In the silence of the night,
Before the Sun’s kaval started to sang…
Divi Samodivi

In their Earthless beauty are hidden both-
Life and death.
As they can make a man fall dawn,
Or give him a cure for all disease…
Divi Samodivi
They are ancient healers,
That know every flower, leaf and root.
They have the great knowledge
Of the nature and her laws…
Divi Samodivi
And only a man with an open good heart
Should know their secrets.
If not,
One’s soul will be locked between two worlds…
Their name is Samodivi.
Divi Samodivi

As humans knew about their powers, every year, at the time after winter, when the day and night were equal, women gathered and made their dance, gathered herbs and watched the sun rising. They made their sacred ritual in the name of those- Divi Samodivi, so they have the knowledge of their healing powers. 

The tradition is given generation after a generation. And only the one, pure by heart are due to this knowledge in these days...

And only the pure by heart will know their secrets...
