Niya (mythology)
Niya (Polish: Nyja , Nija , Latin: Nya) is a Lechitic god of the underworld of unknown sex, whose exact functions are unknown. Niya is mentioned together with other gods worshipped by Poles, such as Yesha, Łada, or Devana. Niya's cult may be demonstrated by the sayings "Go to Niye" ("pójść do Nyje") and "Dwell in Nya" ("bydlić w Nyi") collected by Polish ethnographer Aleksander Brückner. In recent years, the confidence in the authenticity of Niya has increased in the scientific community. Etymology According to Stanisław Urbańczyk, the name Niya comes from the root ''ny-'', which appears in the Old Polish word ''nyć'', meaning "to fade, disappear".

Andrzej Szyjewski agrees with this claim, adding that Niya is an echo of the proto-Slavic word *''nawь'' meaning "corpse", "deceased." In Bulgarian spells, there are "twelve naves" as evil demons spreading the plague, and South S ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
