Gaia and Slavic socks
Will Poland stand on the podium of the Eurovision Song Contest in Basel after years of setbacks? We will find out tomorrow, which is May 17. However, there is no doubt that Justyna Steczkowska's performance has already stirred up a lot of emotions. It is the Polish artist's performance that is the most played semi-final performance on YouTube. Both critics and viewers are delighted. Regardless of the final result, one can already talk about the great success of the Polish woman and the fact that she showed the world the beautiful, and at the same time somewhat dark, face of Slavism. The piece Gaia refers to the Greek goddess of the Earth. Gaia personifies nature, fertility, but also the extraordinary strength and power of femininity. The goddess does not tolerate half-measures and it is better not to play with her feelings. Justyna Steczkowska's performance is described by many as a spectacle. The Pole impresses with her multi-octave voice, intricate choreography and even acrobatic skills. Combined with striking visuals, which do not even lack a huge black dragon, this creates an extraordinary show that has enchanted Europe. The artist has been compared to Yennefer of Vengerberg, known from the Widjmin series, but also to the Mother of Dragons, namely Daenerys from Game of Thrones. Undoubtedly, the performance stirs up great excitement, and this is an indispensable part of Eurovision. We join in cheering for Poland by wearing Slavic socks. What models to bet on? Great will work, among others, socks in field flowers, socks in black cats and socks in skylights. All the pieces connect with the natural world and Slavic beliefs. Poppies once defended homes from the access of evil spirits, while some believed that the glow of skylights symbolized a connection to the world of the living and the dead. One doesn't even need to say too much about black cats, since it's common knowledge that a decent sorceress can't do without her fluffy companion.
Agms of power
An extremely interesting aspect of Justyna Steczkowska's song is the reference to agm. What is hidden under this mysterious term? The term agm refers to Old Slavic words of power, the utterance of which was supposed to have a protective effect. Agms were closely associated with Slavic spirituality, which was characteristically linked to the natural world. Several words of power appear in the song. It is worth learning their basic meanings. Zargo is said to attract health, success and prosperity in life. Raga is uttered to protect against evil powers and dangerous situations. Urra is responsible for good luck, while bestowing knowledge and creativity. Gara is responsible for solving difficulties and attracting good energy, while jarga is responsible for cleansing negative energy, health and wealth. Jarun is the agma of justice, by means of which it becomes easier to free oneself from bad energy and come to terms with one's fate. Era is a protective agma that works to bring peace and prosperity to families. Finally, there remains the charodoro, whose task is to help one get out of difficult situations, overcome addictions and even clairvoyance. With such words of power, it must work!
