In Greek mythology, the M - attribute of Hypnos, deity of sleep, twin brother of death (Thanatos) that is associated with death; both brothers live in the underworld (Hom. Il. XIV 231; XVI 672; Hes. Theog. 211, 758). Hypnos with M. lulls, brings all the sweet calm (Hes. Theog. XXIV 25), even Zeus. In Roman mythology Ceres in search of Proserpine wanders the earth, restless and unable to interrupt the search and to relax; then the gods are doing, so that at each step the flowers arise M. Ceres, the goddess collects them and typing a bunch, finally, falls asleep. It was believed that M. is dedicated to Ceres (sometimes Diana), because it grows among grasses. The origin of M. is associated in the myths and folklore with the blood of a murdered man or a dragon (e.g., in English folk traditions M. appear from the blood of the dragon slain by Saint Margaret). In Christian literature there was a sense that M grow on the blood of the crucified Christ (M. as a symbol of the innocently shed blood). In ceremonies to induce rain during a drought in Polesie in the well was abandoned ("sow") seeds M., consecrated in day Maccabeus, bashed or disturbed water caccamo (Mace - the weapon of thunder), saying: "Makar, son, get out of the water, spill tears on Holy ground!"; they sprinkled the house, the barn, the tombs "the walking" dead. and the Link M. the Thunderer is evidenced by numerous regulirovanie names M, a matching (or very similar) to the name of a Thunderer or the names directly associated characters of a lower level; along with M. the Latin name - papaver (cf. the names of the Thunderer in Indo-European mythology) in the Balkans there are the names of the Meters (sometimes butterflies) type Albans. paparune, ruminski. rareripe, rgrep, novogres. papparouna, Bolg. paparone, paparone, paperoga; Macedonian, paperoga, peperuda, etc. In this context, demonstration and synonymy of the image M. vegetative and other images with similar function (cf., e.g., Russian riddles like: "the Whole earth was, red riding hood found", involving two solutions - M. and mushroom). There are a large number of data about the use of M. in witchcraft, magic (in particular, in the plots), as well as in divination predictions, in situations of choice. The use of poppy seeds in folk medicine is also largely consistent with the mythologized image of M. So, in some traditions the name of one of poppy plants of celandine (Chelidonium majus L.) is used in particular for treating eye diseases, is correlated with the name of swallow, which is consistent with the legend about the swallow, gathering the juice of M. for the return of view of the man born blind children.Slavs — plant-apotrope. In magical practice often used "native" M-samosejka that blooms in white in contrast to field Meters with red flowers. The main cultural function M is related to its ability to counteract evil spirits: while the demon do not collect a lot of scattered poppy seeds, he believed, can't move on and cause harm. Conspiracies and curses of the expression "to scatter poppy seeds or poppy seeds sit" means "to disappear, die, divide" (Eastern Slavs), "sowing the poppies between people" — to "sow discord" (poles). Sometimes the protective function of M. was due to its hypnotic properties (see Insomnia), the ability to put down the evil spirits and danger. M. was considered a powerful talisman against the walking dead: it was placed in the coffin with the dead man suspected of sorcery, showered p.m. in the grave and around the grave of a suicide, gallows, witch doctor, saying, "Then to enter the house when this Mac will collect (count, eat)" (Ukraine, Poland). Ukrainians in the Carpathians M.-Samoseiko lying on the table on Christmas Eve, showered all the estate, walking on the sun, to prevent the visits of a vampire. During the funeral procession threw M. following the coffin, sowed it on the way from home to the cemetery. M. showered the corner where lay a mother with a newborn (Czechs, Slovaks). In wedding ceremonies showered M. in stocking bride (Voronezh region), gave the newlyweds with a poppy head for protection against witches and the evil eye. M showered in the barn and around the barn with the sentence: "Who is this beduk (white poppy) gather, that my cow will take the dispute"; after calving showered the cow and the calf with the same words (Polesie, Transcarpathia, Slovakia, Croatia). Ukrainians calving cow were drilled horn, strewed consecrated M back and scored with a wooden peg; to the right cow horn tied the knot with incense and samodejnim M. on Christmas Eve, the owners went with Christmas bread, honey and M. the yard and thickly sprinkled around the barn "wild" M, "so vsemi, Yogo vibirayte, could not pristupiti to chudoba". M. also defended people and animals from snakes: on the eve of the annual holidays obsevable, poppy seeds fumigated the house, put it on the window so that snakes would crawl into the house, showered M. the cow was bitten by a snake. With M. you can recognize a witch, what do you want to scatter on the road, where the cattle goes, "native" M.: then the witches, which selects a milk cow, its a cow is milked the milk with worms (Brest Polesie). According to other legends, the cow witch will not be able to go scattered through M. with a roar and turn back. In rituals of summoning the rain a lot of poppy seeds like drops of rain, so when a long drought M. poured into the well or in three wells in nine wells; gained M. in his mouth, ran to the well and poured it;' tie M in a knot and the string lowered into the well, and when it rained, pulled out. Did widow old women or children (Volyn, Galicia, Polesie). According to some researchers, the personification of M can be considered mythical Makara or Makar, and in Polesie in seeking the gift of rain. In producing magic and divination many poppy seeds were associated with abundance and wealth. The Slovaks in the first font girls showered M. that she had many suitors; the Czechs on Christmas Eve, fed the hens poppy, hoping to get from them as many eggs as grains M. peck chicken. M. was a part of ritual meals, including Christmas and memorial, and was also known as an additive to the guards the cookies, such as Ukraine baked cakes with M. on Ivan Kupala, the Maccabees (1 August) and on other days. Widespread round game of the Mac, which reproduces the process of growing Meters, has a magic producing a value (Cm. "The life of plants").
