Semargle (or Simargl) - Ognebog. His mission has not yet been clarified. It is believed that this is the God of fire and the moon, fire sacrifices, houses and hearths. Ognebog keeps seeds and crops and can turn into a sacred winged dog.
Semargla is revered in those days when rites and signs related to fire and fires are mentioned in the national calendar. April 14 Semargle drowns the last snow.
There are references to the appearance of Semargl to the light from the flame. It is said that once the heavenly blacksmith Svarog, striking with a magic hammer on the stone Alatyr, carved divine sparks from the stone. The sparks flared brightly, and in their flames came the fiery god Semargle, who sat on the golden-legged horse of silver suits. But, seeming to be a quiet and peaceful hero, Semargle left a scorched trail wherever the foot of his horse stepped.
For certain, the name of the God of Fire is not known, most likely because his name is extremely sacred. Holiness is explained by the fact that this God dwells not somewhere in the seventh heaven, but directly among the earthly people! His name is trying to pronounce aloud less often, usually replacing allegories.
Long since the Slavs associated with the Fire the emergence of people. According to some tales, the Gods created a Man and a Woman from two sticks, between which flared up Fire - the very first flame of love. Semargle also does not let evil into the world.
At night, Semargle stands guard with a fiery sword and only one day a year he leaves his post, responding to the call of the Bathhouse, which calls him to love games on the day of the Autumnal Equinox. And on the day of the Summer Solstice, 9 months later, children - Kostroma and Kupalo - are born at Semargl and Kupalnitsa.
