Master of Animals is one of the nature-deities in mythology of Ancient Kuzhebar. He has no particular look, his shape is changeable and variable. He could appear as a spirit with many faces, as an animal, as a human or just invisible. He is able to have any animals’ form he wants. Master of Animals knows and influences life and death of all animal beings, he protects and heals them, and can change their fate. If it happens that a human brings help to an animal folk, in acknowledgement of that Master of Animals can accept such a human as his pupil and can teach his pupil the animals’ language and the ability to have an animal shape.

ART-Cup with lovely Zshurtschch-cat

Posted on March 29th, 2016 by jsurba.
Categories: foto, Julia Surba, mythology, Painting.

Art-cup for tee & coffee and any other hot and cold drinks with lovely Zshurtschch-cat, a cosmic clown from the painting of Julia Surba. High quality ceramic (white), size: 190 x 80 mm, ca. 0,34 l, weight: 380 g. Cleaning with hands, tongue and in washing machine)))

Zhurshch is a cosmic clown in the likeness of a cat, a kind of a hob and artful trickster. He is one who can make laugh anyone, each of a small child and a rigid warrior. Zhurshch is pictured with his magical attributes in his hands: zhurschchegon in his right hand (sorry, my English-speaking friends, I know it looks like impossible to be spoken) and with the golden key in his left hand. Zhurshchegon is a sacred device a real screamer which helps to see the comic side of life and can evoke an uncontrollable joy. The key symbolizes the key to accepting the life how it is and ability to enjoy it. In stomach of Zhurshch you can see the Kuzheshu-fish, who was got down by Zhurshch just out of fun. But don t worry, it is absolutely not dangerous for the magic fish and happens not for the first time))

Stringed Ghost Catcher with Pyrography Design

Posted on November 12th, 2015 by jsurba.
Categories: Ancient Kuzhebar, design, foto, Kuzhebar Design, music instruments, mythology, Nadishana, pyrography.

Ghost Catcher (stringed) is a traditional instrument of Kuzhebar people
(South Siberia). It is a kind of mouth bow, but unlike other mouth bows
it has little fingerboard and 2 strings, so it is possible to play melodies
on it strumming the strings by right hand, and pressing the strings to the fingerboard by left hand. It is also possible to play on it with a stick, this technique reminds the berimbao playing. The instrument should be placed in front of the mouth and modulated like a jaw harp. 
  

This model of the Ghost Catcher is covered with symbols believed to be
a protection by hunting the ghosts on two sides of the instrument
and presenting a mosquito on its third side.

Human visual sense is adopted to the human environment but if you are going to be able to see in the world of spirits you might need another sight ability. So says kuzhebarian folk belief. And the point is not in your disability to see anything in the spirits world, but in the sense to understand what you have seen, because in the world of spirits rules a different interpretation system. Kuzhebarian tales say that the Goor-Bird can bring this special sense to humans. To get it one just should go to the sacred Gurgang Tree to spend the night over there and to play a special song on the jaw harp during the twilight hour.
