Bellringers tradition of Kvarner is old Slavic folklore relic that dates back to pagan antiquity. Even today, men covered in sheepskin with bells around their waists and animal masks march through local villages scaring away evil spirits and welcoming the arrival of spring.

Mistress of the sea.

“It’s commonly held that Artio is a goddess of the Forest and of Wild Things, particularly bears…Unlike the goddess Diana, who is depicted with her bow, Artio holds no weapon. Instead, the Bear Goddess holds an offering, and is therefore associated with abundance. She is also likely a Motherly provider and a strong protector, two traits attributed to bears. Artio is considered a zoomorphic goddess, meaning that she can take the form of an animal, in this case, a bear. Given such, it’s speculated that the bear in her tribute statue is actually the goddess, and the woman is her servant.”
