Birth scenes in general are much more popular in Etruscan than in Greek art. While the divine conceptions and births in Greek myth are uniformly unnatural, Etruscan renderings often bring out their more practical, normal aspects. Tinia is shown on a mirror giving birth to a large, fully armed Menerva with two beautifully dressed midwives at his side, comforting him and bandaging his aching head. Elsewhere we see the baby Dionysos, wearing protective amulets, emerging from Tinia’s thigh, where he has been incubated; a female attendant nurse, Mean, holds an unguent jar and dipstick: is it to assuage the birth pangs of Tinia, the new father, or to anoint the new-born baby? An Etruscan scene shows the conception of a god as an actual sexual union, as Semla lifts up her skirt in an anasyrma gesture to have intercourse with the great god: a satyr shows that the conception of the god Fufluns/Dionysos will be the result.

[IMG ID: A scene of a lightning strike at light. The background is empty, sparing a few clouds illuminated by the light of the strike. There are two lightning strikes, one to the left that extends beyond the image, and another that stops slightly beyond the halfway mark of the image. The lightning strikes are a vibrant yellow, contrasting against a purple background, with the light around the strike taking on a striking red-pink.]

Content warning: The brontoscoptic refers to several possibly triggering events, such as death, disease, and abortion. The text also refers to common practices in the ancient world such as slavery and misogyny, which we must acknowledge for the evil it is.

A new year, new dates for the Brontoscoptic calendar! This year is a bit odd for the translation, the new moon in cancer was June 21st—meaning the majority of the “June” month is in July. The calendar picks back up on the next new moon, which is August 4th. Therefore the brontoscoptic month of July is in August. Strange for us to think of, but lunar calendars do not always translate easily into Gregorian.

Supposing that publicly, in all augural teaching, the ancients assumed the moon to be a reference point (for under this heading they classified both thunder and lightning signs), one likewise may correctly select the phase of the moon as a factor for reckoning, so that, beginning with Cancer, we shall make observations of thunder day by day, beginning with the first day of the lunar month, and following lunar months. From this [study] the Etruscans transmitted observations localized according to the regions that are struck from the sky by thunder. — Divining the Etruscan World: The Brontoscopic Calendar and Religious Practice, Jean MacIntosh Turfa

[wanderingskemetic]

Hello! I was recently reached out to by Turan, and I would love to work with her, but I have absolutely no clue where to start. I've done some research on the Etruscan pantheon and the civilization, but I have no clue where to start with worshiping Turan. Any tips? Thank you!

Unfortunately, we know very little about Etruscan religious practices, so my best advice is to take what you already know and construct a practice from that, filling in whatever feels best/right to you when you don't have anything else to go off of. It can be easy to get stuck in the research rabbit hole and while research is important, at some point you do need to just start doing the thing. You can continue to modify as you find what works for you and the aiser and as you continue to learn more.

Especially if this is your first time practicing polytheism, I would recommend starting small and simple at least at first. You can always add more later or do more when you have time and energy. Like most Mediterranean polytheistic religions, offerings are important(1). I suggest at least establishing a goal offering schedule. You don't have to keep it all the time, but I've found having a goal of say I'm going to offer something to Menrva every Wednesday is a lot easier for me to keep in mind and do than I'm going to offer to Menrva every so often.

A wide range of consumable offerings were offered, and they could be burned, eaten(2), or buried(3). I typically eat mine, as that's what I can do and works well with my preexisting Kemetic practice. Libations are also a good option they can be poured into the ground (research if you're offering something other than water though) and sink libations are a good simple and discreet option, sag dab saar has a good post on them here. Votive offerings were also quite popular(4) and Turan was one of the deities we know they were given to(5). However, these may be difficult to do as a modern worshiper.

I do try to face east when I make offerings to them, as the east seems to be a preferred direction in altar placement and to have been seen as a generally favorable region. (6)

Divination is quite important to the aiser(7), so I do recommend researching and working on becoming comfortable with at least one method of it if you aren't already. Unfortunately I can't offer a lot of advice there as that's something I'm working on myself.

If you haven't already I would recommend checking out the Rasenna polytheism carrd especially their resources section. It has a lot of great information, and many of the books they have are really hard/expensive to get otherwise. The people who run the carrd also run a Discord server which you could also find useful.

Sanchezia speciosa: Cuidados, Curiosidades e Benefícios para o Seu Jardim

A Sanchezia speciosa, também conhecida como planta-lança, é uma planta ornamental muito apreciada pela sua folhagem exuberante e flores vibrantes, sendo uma excelente escolha para adicionar um toque exótico a qualquer jardim ou espaço interior. Originária das regiões tropicais da América do Sul, esta planta pertence à família Acanthaceae e adapta-se muito bem a ambientes quentes e húmidos, características que a tornam bastante popular em países com clima tropical ou subtropical. Abaixo, vamos explorar as curiosidades sobre a Sanchezia speciosa, os cuidados necessários para o seu cultivo e os benefícios estéticos que ela pode trazer.

Características da Sanchezia speciosa

A Sanchezia speciosa destaca-se sobretudo pela sua folhagem ornamental, com folhas grandes de um verde intenso e nervuras brancas ou amarelas bem definidas, o que proporciona um visual marcante. As suas flores, embora pequenas, são de um amarelo vibrante e surgem em inflorescências nas pontas dos caules, principalmente durante os meses mais quentes. No entanto, as folhas são a principal atração desta planta, trazendo um visual tropical e exuberante, perfeito para quem quer dar vida a um jardim ou a um ambiente interior. Curiosidades sobre a Sanchezia speciosa Uma curiosidade interessante sobre esta planta é que ela é nativa de florestas tropicais, onde a humidade e a luz filtrada são predominantes. Por esta razão, a Sanchezia prefere ambientes de sombra parcial, uma vez que a exposição direta ao sol pode danificar as suas folhas. Outra curiosidade é que, em algumas culturas, a Sanchezia é usada em práticas medicinais tradicionais, embora esta aplicação não seja amplamente reconhecida na medicina moderna. Sabia que a Sanchezia também é conhecida por atrair polinizadores, como beija-flores e borboletas? Isto acontece devido às suas flores vibrantes e ao néctar que produzem, sendo uma excelente opção para quem deseja criar um jardim que incentive a biodiversidade.

Cuidados essenciais no cultivo O cultivo da Sanchezia speciosa exige alguns cuidados específicos, especialmente em relação à rega, à exposição solar e à humidade. Aqui estão os principais fatores a considerar para manter a sua planta saudável e em pleno crescimento. - Luz: A Sanchezia prefere luz indireta ou sombra parcial, já que o sol direto pode queimar as suas folhas delicadas. Em ambientes internos, é ideal posicioná-la perto de uma janela que receba luz filtrada ou, em alternativa, colocar uma cortina para difundir a luz. Para garantir uma boa fotossíntese, é importante que a planta tenha pelo menos 4 horas de luz indireta por dia. - Rega: Um dos pontos mais críticos no cuidado da Sanchezia é a rega. O solo deve permanecer ligeiramente húmido, mas nunca encharcado, pois o excesso de água pode levar ao apodrecimento das raízes. Nos meses mais quentes, regue com maior frequência, mas reduza as regas durante o inverno. - Solo: A Sanchezia speciosa prefere um substrato bem drenado e rico em matéria orgânica. Uma mistura de solo com turfa, areia e matéria orgânica é o ideal para garantir uma boa drenagem, evitando assim o acumulo de água nas raízes. - Humidade: Como planta tropical, a Sanchezia aprecia ambientes húmidos. Em locais onde o ar é seco, é recomendável borrifar água nas folhas regularmente ou utilizar um humidificador. A humidade do ar ajuda a planta a manter as suas folhas saudáveis e com cores vibrantes. - Fertilização: Para estimular o crescimento e a produção de flores, aplique um fertilizante líquido a cada duas semanas durante a primavera e o verão. Um fertilizante equilibrado, rico em nitrogénio, fósforo e potássio, é ideal para esta planta.

Propagação da Sanchezia speciosa A Sanchezia speciosa pode ser propagada facilmente através de estacas de caule. O método mais comum envolve o corte de uma estaca de aproximadamente 10 a 15 cm de comprimento, preferencialmente na primavera, quando a planta está no seu período de maior crescimento. Após o corte, remova as folhas inferiores da estaca e coloque-a num substrato húmido. Em algumas semanas, as raízes começarão a desenvolver-se, e a nova planta estará pronta para ser transplantada para um vaso ou diretamente para o jardim. Problemas comuns Apesar de ser uma planta resistente, a Sanchezia speciosa pode enfrentar alguns problemas, especialmente se não forem seguidos os cuidados adequados. Aqui estão os principais problemas que podem surgir: - Folhas queimadas: Se notar que as folhas apresentam manchas castanhas ou começam a secar nas pontas, isso pode ser um sinal de exposição excessiva ao sol direto. Ajuste a posição da planta para um local com luz indireta. - Amarelo das folhas: O amarelo das folhas pode indicar excesso de água (importância da água) ou problemas no sistema radicular. Verifique se o solo está bem drenado e ajuste a frequência das regas. - Pragas: A Sanchezia speciosa pode ser atacada por pragas como cochonilhas e ácaros. Para combater esses invasores, inspecione regularmente as folhas e aplique óleo de neem ou sabão inseticida, conforme necessário. https://youtu.be/xvP_wudDlkI?si=yndO5xBpXQRhB7dx Benefícios ornamentais A Sanchezia speciosa é uma planta altamente valorizada no paisagismo por sua folhagem exuberante e cores vibrantes. Além disso, ela é uma excelente escolha para criar um ponto focal em jardins ou interiores, oferecendo um visual tropical e exótico. A combinação da Sanchezia com outras plantas tropicais, como a Monstera deliciosa ou a Calathea, pode criar ambientes visuais impactantes e cheios de vida. Outra vantagem desta planta é que ela pode ser cultivada em vasos, o que facilita o seu uso em espaços interiores. Isso torna a Sanchezia uma excelente opção para quem vive em apartamentos ou locais com pouco espaço para jardinagem. Curiosidades adicionais - A Sanchezia speciosa é frequentemente usada em jardins tropicais e subtropicais devido à sua facilidade de cultivo e beleza duradoura. - Além do seu valor ornamental, há registos históricos do uso de partes da planta em remédios tradicionais, embora este uso não seja amplamente aceito ou praticado atualmente. - Esta planta é considerada de fácil manutenção, desde que sejam respeitadas as suas necessidades de luz, água e humidade. Conclusão A Sanchezia speciosa é uma planta ideal para quem procura adicionar um toque tropical ao jardim ou ao ambiente interno, graças às suas folhas marcantes e flores coloridas. Com os cuidados adequados — como garantir uma boa luminosidade indireta, manter o solo húmido mas não encharcado e proporcionar um ambiente com alta humidade —, a Sanchezia recompensa com um crescimento vigoroso e uma presença exuberante. Além disso, as suas curiosidades, como a atração de polinizadores, tornam-na uma adição encantadora e funcional a qualquer espaço verde. FAQs sobre Sanchezia speciosa 1. O que é a Sanchezia speciosa?

Jadilah Seperti Tsauban

Banyak kisah cinta dari para sahabat kepada Rasulullah Saw. Kisah yang mengandung nilai dan pelajaran yang berharga untuk kita jadikan sebagai renungan, motivasi dan semangat kita dalam mendekatkan diri kepada sang Ilahi. Pertanyaannya, mampukah kita menandingi kisah cinta para sahabat kepada Rasulullah? Atau cinta kita kalah dengan cinta para sahabat tersebut? Mungkin juga cinta kita yang lebih unggul dari cinta para sahabat? Atau celakanya, cinta kita malah jauh dari cinta para sahabat? Hal ini tentunya harus menjadi renungan bagi kita secara mendalam. Untuk menilai bagaimakah kualitas cinta para sahabat kepada Rasulullah Saw. Marilah kita simak sebuah kisah di zaman Rasulullah Saw, kisah yang telah diriwayatkan oleh para ulama dalam-kitab-kitab mereka. Kisah yang menjadi penyebab (asbabun nuzul) turunnya ayat Al_Qur’an Surat An-Nisa’ ayat (69-70) “Dan barangsiapa yang mentaati Allah dan Rasul (Nya), mereka itu akan bersama-sama dengan orang-orang yang dianugerahi nikmat oleh Allah, yaitu: para Nabi-nabi, para shiddiqiin, orang-orang yang mati syahid, dan orang-orang saleh. Dan mereka itulah teman yang sebaik-baiknya.  Yang demikian itu adalah karunia dari Allah, dan Allah cukup mengetahui dari apa yang kita sembunyikan dan apa yang kita tampakkan” (An-Nisa’:  69-70) Al-Hafizd Ibn Katsir membawakan riwayat seorang sahabat yang cinta kepada Nabi Muhammad Saw. Sahabat ini, tidak sabar kalau tidak berjumpa dengan Rasulullah Saw. Namun, Ibn Katsir, tidak menyebutkan siapa nama sahabat tersebut. Sementara, Imam Al-Qurtubi di dalam tafsir beliau, Al-Jaami’ Liahkamil Qur’an, menyebutkan  nama sahabat itu bernama “Tsauban”. Sahabat Tsauban ini, adalah pembantu Rasulullah Saw, sahabat ini sangat mencintai Rasulullah Saw, dan Tsauban tidak tahan kalau tidak bertemu sehari saja dengan dengan Nabi Muhammad Saw. Jika Tsauban tidak bertemu Rasulullah Saw, maka wajahnya berubah pucat, raut mukanya tidak enak dipandang. Dia seperti orang yang merana dan menderita. Hidupnya hampa, tidak bergairah dan tidak bersemangat. Layaknya, para pengemis lusuh dan pemulung yang selalu murung. Dan benar saja, pada suatu hari sahabat Tsauban benar-benar tidak bertemu dan berjumpa dengan Nabi Saw. Dalam kondisi tersebut, sahabat Tsauban ini pikiranya kacau-balau, bigung, sampai-sampai badanya kurus kering, wajahnya pucat, sangat bersedih dan sangat gelisah. Hanya karena sehari tidak berjumpa dengan kekasihnya Rasulullah Saw.  Singkat cerita, akhirnya suatu saat bertemulah sahabat Tsauban ini dengan Rasulullah Saw, lalu Rasulullah begitu heran dengan keadaan pembantunya tersebut. Rasulullah pun bertanya perihal keadaanya; “Maa ghayyaro lau nak ya Tsauban?”  “Wahai Tsauban apa yang membuat keadaan kamu seperti ini? Kenapa wajahmu pucat? Kenapa kamu terlihat kurus kering? Kamu begitu bersedih, kamu tampak gelisah dan merana wahai Tsaubaan, penyakit apa yang sedang kau derita,  katakan kepadaku ya Tsauban? Lantas Tsauban  menjawab,  Ya.. Rasulullah, Maa bi dhurrun wala wajaun, ghairo anni idza lam Arooka, istakhtu Ilaika, was taw hastu wihsyatan shadidah, hatta alqoo  “Wahai Rasulullah, aku tidak sakit, aku tidak terkena mara bahaya apapun, aku tidak ditimpa musibah sedikitpu. Hanya saja ya Rasulullah, kalau saja aku tidak bertemu denganmu sehari saja, aku rindu wahai Rasulullah, aku cinta kepadamu dan aku merasakan kesepian dan kesendirian yang amat sangat, sampai benar-benar aku berjumpa denganmu, wahai Rasulullah.” Kemudian Tsauban melanjutkan; Tsumma dzakartul akhiirota, wa akhofu alla arooka hunakaa, lianni aroftu annaka turfa’ Ma’an nabiyyiin, Wa anni indakholtu Jannah,  kuntu fii manzilatin yaa Adna manzilatik . Wa illam adkhul,  lam arooka abadaa “Ya Rasulullah dalam keadaan aku bersedih seperti itu, aku ingat di akherat nanti, Wahai Rasulullah, anda nanti di akherat mempunyai derajat yang tinggi kumpul dengan para Nabi, aku wahai Rasulullah, seandainya saja aku masuk syurga, maka derjatku di bawahmu wahai Rasulullah. Kita tidak bisa ketemu

di syurga nanti, anda di atas paling tinggi, sementara kami di bawah,  itu pun kalau aku masuk ke dalam syurga. Sementara kalau aku  tidak  masuk ke dalam syurga wahai Rasulullah, maka aku tidak akan bisa bertemu dengan engkau selama-lamanya” Subhanallah… Begitu indah kisah sahabat Tsauban ini. Rasa rindu ingin berjumpa dengan Rasulullah telah membuat ia menderita dan merana. Rasa rindu itu telah menyiksa batinnya. Kerinduan karena samata-mata lahir dari cintanya kepada Rasulullah Saw. Rasanya puncak kerinduandan cinta itu bagi sebagian orang mungkin terlalu berlebihan, namun adakah kita sadari kalau rindu dan cinta kepada Rasulullah Saw akan lahir dari hati yang bersih, lahir dari hati yang bening, hati yang selalu di isi dengan kebaikan-kebaikan. Sehingga, dari kebaikan jiwa itulah akan lahir cinta yang hakiki.   Semoga kita dapat mencontohi sahabat Tsauban ini. Kita perbanyak bacaan shalawat kita kepada Rasulullah Saw, sebagai bukti cinta kita kepada beliau.  Allahumma sholli wasallim ala Muhammad.

“A luz gerada quando se queima carvão, carvão vegetal ou turfa, a luz emitida por um pedaço de carvão é, na verdade, luz solar. A questão é que a luz dura para sempre — por um bilhão de anos dentro de um pedaço de carvão. Mas a escuridão não dura nem um segundo quando você acende a luz.”

Hey, other And Then We Danced (2019) fans, listen, have you already known that the song in the background of this movie scene...

...was initially different than the one we know from the final version of the film?🤯

[Video comes from this post of @andthenwedanced on Instagram (dated: 29 August 2019)]

What you hear in the fragment above is Tu Ase Turfa Ikavi (თუ ასე ტურფა იყავი) - and not Khma Amoige Panduro ! (which I already described to you in Part 1 of my "ATWD soundtrack & lyrics" series)

If you were so fine / Tu Ase Turfa Ikavi

If you were so fine, Why didn't I mention you, violet? Because, for love, I hadn't my heart open ( x2)

Now I met another gardener, Who swayed me with petting, Sang to me sweet voice, And swayed me on hem ( x2)

If you were so fine, Why didn't I mention you, violet? Because, for love, I hadn't my heart open ( x2)

[translation given by YouTube user @merabbarbakadze in comments under Hamlet's Gonashvili version of the song]

Alternative translation:

If you were so beautiful, why didn't I notice you before, violet? Because I didn't have my heart opened for love.

Now I met another gardener filled me with tenderness sweetly blazed with me began to swing me on hem of a skirt

if you were so beautiful Why hadn't I noticed you before, violet? Just because my heart was yet not opened for the love.

[translation above was given by YouTube user @leokac in comment under this Ketie's Melua version of the song]

თუ ასე ტურფა იყავი რად ვერ გამჩნევდი იაო იმად რომ სიყვარულისთვის გული არ გამიღიაო იმად რომ სიყვარულისთვის გული არ გამიღიაო

ახლა სხვა მებაღე შემხვდა ალერსით გამაბნიაო, ტკბილადაც მამიგურგურა კალთაზედ დამარწიაო. ტკბილადაც მამიგურგურა კალთაზედ დამარწიაო.

ცაზედ მიდიან წერონი მწკრივად და ჯარის ჯარადა რით ვერ შაიგნეთ იალნო ცრემლებ ჩამამდის ღვარადა რით ვერ შაიგნეთ იალნო ცრემლებ ჩამამდის ღვარადა

თუ ასე ტურფა იყავი რად ვერ გამჩნევდი იაო იმად რომ სიყვარულისთვის გული არ გამიღიაო იმად რომ სიყვარულისთვის გული არ გამიღიაო

[Original Georgian lyrics according to www.smule.com]

Now you can compare it with the song that was used in the final version of ATWD:

ხმა ამაიღე ფანდურო [Khma amoige panduro]

Raise your voice, panduri For the rising sun I wish to speak a shairi, For a sun-faced beauty, Sun-faced, sun-faced, for the sun-faced beauty

ხმა ამაიღე ფანდურო ამომავალი მზისთვინა შაირ მწადიან წარმოვთ��ო პირიმზე ლამაზისთვინა მის: პირიმზე პირიმზე პირიმზე ლამაზისთვინა

[⬆️The above is from FINAL version!⬆️]

Now I am not sure what was the actual reason that one song won over another. Maybe And The We Danced movie makers simply had no permission to use "Tu Ase Turfa..."? (It happened before - many singers wanted not to be associated with movie about "perverts", that's why most of ATWD songs were recorded particulary for the movie and the song sang in the car had to be literally written for the car scene alone (!!!) - you can read more about it my "And Then We Danced: Soundtrack & Lyrics" series or under my "ATWD amateur guidebook" tag). Or maybe it was decided to not fit to the moment in the film as perfectly as "Khma amoige..."?

I got to say I loved "Tu ase turfa" since the first time I heard it (and it was on ATWD OST playlist even! Though I thought it was a mistake for that song was nowhere in the final movie so I thought that maybe somebody was mistaken... Yes I was so stupid to think someone could mistake two totally different songs, lol😅). But I love "Khma amoige..." so much in this scene, it sounds so quiet and delicate, almost like a lullaby... or maybe like a first shy thought of noticing somebody's beauty for the first time? - and it fits so perfectly with Merab's bashfull little laugh in marshrutka when Irakli's sleeping on his shoulder🫠 While "Tu ase turfa" would sound more... solemn? And serious? (especially the part with choir). I can imagine it would feel more as if Merab was already deeply in love in that moment... Though the lyrics does emphasize the fact of not noticing beauty before being ready for love so theoretically it does fit to that movie scene... So I don't know, just my thoughts😅

But I love both songs, I love all of them!❤️❤️❤️

Em meados da década de 1980, arqueólogos fizeram uma descoberta notável perto de Nieuw-Dordrecht, nos Países Baixos: uma estrada de madeira neolítica incrivelmente bem preservada. Este antigo caminho de turfa, datado de impressionantes 4.573 anos, estende-se por pelo menos 800 metros e é um testemunho impressionante das habilidades avançadas de engenharia das comunidades neolíticas.

Através da ciência meticulosa da dendrocronologia, ou datação por anéis de árvores, os especialistas conseguiram determinar a construção desta estrada para 2.549 a.C. Este método de datação, que analisa os anéis de crescimento das árvores, permitiu uma precisão surpreendente, revelando não apenas a época exata da construção, mas também proporcionando uma compreensão mais profunda das condições climáticas e ambientais da época.

A preservação desta estrada nas turfeiras é uma raridade que oferece uma visão única da infraestrutura sofisticada da Europa pré-histórica. As turfeiras, com suas condições anaeróbicas, impedem a decomposição rápida da madeira, permitindo que estruturas como esta estrada de madeira sobrevivessem ao passar dos milênios.

A existência desta estrada indica uma rede de transporte e comércio bem desenvolvida, sugerindo que as comunidades neolíticas eram muito mais avançadas do que se pensava anteriormente. A estrada teria facilitado a movimentação de pessoas, animais e mercadorias através de terrenos alagadiços, conectando assentamentos e promovendo o intercâmbio de bens e ideias.

Este achado fascinante não apenas ressalta as habilidades de engenharia das pessoas da época, mas também nos oferece um vislumbre de suas vidas diárias, suas necessidades e suas capacidades organizacionais.

Assim, a estrada de madeira neolítica de Nieuw-Dordrecht não é apenas uma maravilha arqueológica, mas também uma janela para o passado, revelando a engenhosidade e a determinação dos nossos antepassados em moldar o mundo ao seu redor.

The basic element of society in classical Greece was the male citizen and soldier. In Rome it was the pater familias. In Etruscan society, which retained its aristocratic nature throughout its history, it was the married couple that represented one generation in the continuous chain of generations of a great family in which the wife’s noble birth was as important as that of the husband. . . . In Etruscan iconography, mythological scenes emphasize the marriage and family bonds of divinities and heroes, often choosing obscure alternate forms of the Greek myth represented or transforming the story radically. Such scenes were incised on the backs of the engraved bronze mirrors that brides received on their wedding day, and that they took to their graves with them when they died. One mirror shows Admetus and Alcestis as a loving couple on their wedding day, flanked by the symbolic images of their marriage and their death. A Praenestine mirror represents the reconciliation and perhaps the marriage of Juno and Heracles, crudely expressed by male and female sexual organs. Prophecy, frequently represented or alluded to in scenes of preparation for the marriage, was evidently part of the wedding ritual. We see it on a beautiful mirror in which Thetis is bathing and adorning herself. As she looks into the mirror, Peleus, who has just come upon the scene, recoils in horror at the vision he sees there – the tragic result of their union, the birth of Achilles and the Trojan War. Some of these images might have functioned like modern wedding portraits on the mantel, recording the formation of the family. The inscriptions that identify the figures are often detached from them, their principal function being apparently to move the scene to a mythological level, as in an epithalamium, equating the married couple to divine or heroic lovers. One scene shows Turan, goddess of love, bringing together the adulterous lovers, Paris and Helen, who are here presented as an ideal couple and an example for the married pair.

Tivr, god of the moon

[ID: A photograph of the moon over a lilac purple sky, with small clouds to the near left and the bottom left of the image. To the bottom right is a cliff side, with another smaller cliff side behind the first. The moon is in a fingernail cresent.]

Tivr, Tiv, or Tiur, (Etruscan tiu/tiur, “month”) is the ais of the moon. They have been recognised as the moon ais as Tivr stands opposite to Usil on the Liver of Piacenza, on the “negative” side where the aiser of death and night reside. Converserly, Usil (at sunrise) and Tiv (at sunset) are separated on the liver from the sunset zone by the Suspensorium hepaticum (falciform ligament). As for syncretism, Tivr was likely identified with Luna and Selene akin to how Usil was identified with Helios and Sol. 

Tivr’s symbol is the crescent, as witnessed in the heraldic symbol of the Tiuza family of Chiusi. Their tomb dates to the third-century within Tassinaia and is decorated with crescent moons, along with a shield marked with a lunar phase. 

CATHA, GODDESS OF THE MOON?

Nancy de Grummond argues that Catha, the daughter of Usil, is a lunar goddess. Tiur’s name is mentioned in a dedicatory inscription on a bronze crescent to Catha reading “mi tiiurs kaθuniiasul.” The relationship between the two if we take Catha as a lunar goddess is unknown. 

MODERN WORSHIP

Tivr is a deity with very little information. Many scholars identify Tivr as feminine due to Luna and Selene, however this may be untrue as no known depiction of Tivr exists. In modern worship we can worship Tivr as the god of the moon/month and let our experiences guide us in understanding this obscure ais.
