In Slavic — goddess of winter and death. In Buddhist — the tempter, who stopped the world at the threshold of enlightenment. In another language — nightmare. The one who sits on the chest in sleep and does not introduce herself.

Abundance in the left hand. To the right — temptation. Who reached out first — no longer matters.

On the skull — red butterflies. Psyche settles where she is led.

The wheel stood still. The first turn — belongs to Mara.

On the shoulder — the schedule of new meetings.

The owl sees in the dark what the living cannot.

Mara's smile is a portent.
