Alkonost

Bird of Paradise

In Slavic mythology, the Alkonost is a beautiful bird-woman from paradise whose song brings forgetfulness and joy, often paired with the Sirin. Born from ancient solar bird motifs, she lays eggs on the seashore that calm storms when hatched. Her voice heals sorrow but can enchant listeners into eternal bliss., - Enchanting joyful song - Bird body, female head - Brings forgetfulness - Storm-calming eggs - Paradise messenger, Mythology and folklore
