Goddesses

Overview

In the Ukrainian tradition, the body of the deceased is washed and ritually prepared, honouring and cleansing the person's spirit. In times of war both the deceased and their loved ones are deprived of these rituals and final moments. In "Bohyni", a body lies alone in a forest, in the liminal realm. The body is discovered by three goddesses who prepare its' spirit to be sent to the land of the ancestors.
