In Slavic mythology, the goddess of winter is Morozko or Ded Moroz. Often depicted as an old man with a white beard, she embodies the harshness of winter and the cold. Her presence signifies the beauty and danger of the winter season, representing both the depths of winter and the essence of rebirth in spring. Morozko, similar to the winter traditions in various cultures, plays a key role in tales of survival and renewal during the cold months.
