Mokosh - Goddess of fertility, home and earth
She watches over spinning and weaving, shearing of sheep, and protects women in child birth. She is represented as a woman with uplifted hands and flanked by two plow horses. She was also associated with spell casting.
She is considered to be a goddess of Fate. She weaves, spins and holds the threads of fate. She is also has attributes of a fertility goddess. Sometimes she is depicted as a woman with a large head and long arms.
As she is linked to spinning wool and weaving, it was ill-luck to leave your spinning shuttle and a batch of spinning wool behind. Offerings to her included dropping of spinned wool into the well.
After Christianisation her attributes were transferred to St Paraskevia, which retained Friday as being her day of the week. It was considered to be ill-luck to sweep floors on the eve of Thursday as it was believed that the dust would clog up the sight of Mokosh, which assisted guidance through dreams.
