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.

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.
