The never ending spring reigns on the island. Forever the air streams fragrance, the sky is always open - pure blue; heavenly dew quietly falls on trees and flowers and reveals to them the secret of eternity. The delicate foliage of the trees never loses its freshness, and the bright scarlet lilies never wither. Rose flowers, like a spirit, gently surround the branches ... "
Different nations gave him their names, and at least one of them is sure to be known to you. (From ancient myths)
So: Elysium, the Island of the Blessed, Avallon, the fields of Ialu, the Champs Elysees, the island of Eternal Youth, the Island of Buyan, Iriy, the Happy Island, the Eternal Island, the Island of Immortality.
In Greek mythology, "Elysium" is also the habitat of mortals at the end of their earthly existence. The ruler of the Isle of the Blessed is the god Kron. The souls of the righteous walk along the Champs Elysees — a beautiful meadow of unfading flowers, surrounded by a fabulously beautiful forest, spend time in conversations and enjoy eternal life.
Later, Virgil, the Roman poet of Er, the author of the Aeneid, describes it as a place of retribution for mortals.
The same "island of the blessed", which was most often located on the distant "western islands", in Celtic mythology, is called "Avallon" ("Apple" or "Island of apples").
By the way, the Britons of Somerset (South Britain), Avallon called their god of the other world. His possessions were called Inis Avallon, that is, "the island of Avallon."
According to Welsh and Irish legends, the mortally wounded King Arthur was transferred to the island of Avallon (lat. "insula Avallon") after the Battle of Kamlan by the fairy Morgana.
The Arabs also have stories about the overseas Land of happiness and immortality, on the Happy or Eternal Isles.
The idea of the "Islands of the Blessed" in traditional East Slavic culture is also associated with the legend of Buyan Island. Not only the mysterious stone Alatyr resides there, an evergreen tree grows there, on which the birds Gamayun and Phoenix sing.
Many conspiracies begin with a mention of him “On the sea on the Ocean, on the island on Buyan, on the white-burning stone Alatyr ...” for a reason. For whoever finds this stone will fulfill all his desires.
The Indo-Aryans and the Chinese are different families of peoples, however, in Chinese legends there is a detailed description of the islands of the Blessed in the treatise Li-tzu. In the eastern part of Bohai Bay, far, far from the shore, there is a large bottomless abyss called Guixu. The waters of all rivers, seas, oceans and even the celestial river (the Milky Way) flow into it and maintain a constant water level without raising or lowering it. Near Guixu, according to legend, there were five sacred mountains. All the buildings there are made of gold and jade, all the animals and birds of the sacred white color. After flowering, jade and pearl fruits appear on the trees, which taste good and bring immortality to those who eat them. Immortals also wear white robes, and have small wings on their backs.
In Japanese myths, there is a story about the Island of Eternal Youth, which is many days away, "in the country of unknown strangers." On it (as well as in the Novgorod legend) there is a world tree that grows on the Mount of Immortality.
Where is this unusual island, references to which ancient historians, geographers, poets have?
In the 12th century Monastic legends connected the localization of Avalon with Glastonbury Monastery in England, near the Welsh border, where the tomb of King Arthur was allegedly discovered. The later European (including the occult) tradition often identified the island of Thule with the Isles of the Blessed.
They are looking for him in the Faroe Islands, Canary Islands, Rügen, the British Isles, Malta. Most of all I like the version that it is located on the Serpent's Island, which is the territory of Ukraine, my Motherland. Who owns the Serpent, he owns Time - so the Tradition says.
Although, as usual, all this is very controversial.
The symbolism associated with the "islands of the blessed" - a glass tower, water, an eternal tree, birds, flowers, apples that give immortality, offered by magnificent women inhabiting the island, belongs to the archaic layer of tradition, i.e. extends to all cultural strata of the Indo-Europeans.
Isle of the Blessed (Isle of the Blessed, Isle of the Blessed) is one of the most important places of the Old Religion: it is its center, it is its stronghold, it is its source of magic, it is its pillar of power. This is what remains of the once flourishing magic of the Old Religion.
The island was once inhabited by High Priestesses and possibly their apprentices. Pilgrims and those who made deals came there, asking for help, agreeing to the ritual of Life for Death or quid pro quo. But after the Great Purge, the island fell into decay and all magicians and supporters of the High Priestesses and Priests began to be persecuted.
I learned this whole story from encyclopedias and collections of myths AFTER painting the picture. She needed to be given a name, and only one word was spinning in her mind - ELYSIUM.
(Sources: “Celtic mythology. Encyclopedia.” Translated from English by S. Head and A. Head, Eksmo, 2002., “Myths of the peoples of the world.”) And others.
The technique that I use to paint pictures I call "Neuro-Painting". First I paint a picture - then I decipher. A joke ... In which, as you know, there is a share of a joke.
«Где-то далеко, на краю Мира…у берегов реки Океан находится «Остров Блаженных», на этом острове остановилось время, там царят молодость и достаток. Поля неувядающих цветов… окружены фантастическим лесом, в центре острова находится стеклянный дворец и вечнозеленое древо с чудесными плодами, на котором поют волшебные птицы, там лежит камень, который и есть центр Мира.
На острове царит никогда не прекращающаяся весна. Вечно воздух струит аромат, вечно небо распростёрто — чисто-голубое; небесная роса тихо опускается на деревья и цветы и открывает им тайну вечности. Нежная листва деревьев никогда не теряет своей свежести, и ярко-алые лилии никогда не увядают. Цветы розы, словно дух, нежно окружают ветви…»
Разные народы давали ему свои имена, и хоть одно из них обязательно вам известно. (Из древних мифов)
Итак : Элизиум, Остров блаженных, Аваллон, поля Иалу, Елисейские поля, остров Вечной молодости , Остров Буян, Ирий, Счастливый остров, Вечный остров, остров Бессмертия.
В греческой мифологии " Элизий"- это также среда обитания смертных по окончании их земного существования. Правителем Острова блаженных является бог Крон. Души праведников гуляют по Елисейским полям — прекрасному лугу неувядающих цветов, окружённому сказочно красивым лесом, проводят время в беседах и наслаждаются вечной жизнью.
Позже, Вергилий- римский поэт рубежа Эр, автор "Энеиды" описывает его как место воздаяния для смертных.
Такой же «остров блаженных», который чаще всего находился на далеких «западных островах», в кельтской мифологии, называется «Аваллон» («Яблоко» или «Остров яблок»).
Кстати, бритты Соммерсета (Южная Британия), Аваллоном называли своего бога потустороннего мира. Его владения носили название Инис Аваллон, то есть "остров Аваллона".
По валлийским и ирландским преданиям, на остров Аваллон (лат. "insula Avallon"), после битвы при Камлане был перенесен феей Морганой смертельно раненный король Артур.
У арабов тоже есть рассказы о заморской Стране счастья и бессмертия, на Счастливых или Вечных островах.
Представление об «островах блаженных» в традиционной восточнославянской культуре также связано с преданием об острове Буяне. Там пребывает не только загадочный камень Алатырь, там растет вечнозеленое древо, на котором поют птицы Гамаюн и Феникс.
Многие заговоры начинаются с упоминания о нём « На море на Окиане, на острове на Буяне, на бел-горючем камне Алатыре…» неспроста. Ибо, кто найдет этот камень-исполнит все свои желания.
Индоарии и китайцы- разные семьи народов, тем не менее, в китайских преданиях существует подробное описание островов Блаженных в трактате «Ли-цзы». В восточной части залива Бохай, далеко-далеко от берега находится большая бездонная пропасть, называемая Гуйсюй. Воды всех рек, морей, океанов и даже небесной реки (Млечного Пути) текут в неё и поддерживают постоянный уровень воды, не повышая и не понижая его. Около Гуйсюй, согласно преданиям, было пять священных гор. Все строения там из золота и нефрита, все звери и птицы священного белого цвета. После цветения на деревьях появляются нефритовые и жемчужные плоды, которые хороши на вкус и приносят бессмертие тем, кто их ест.На бессмертных также белые одежды, а на спине-маленькие крылья.
В японских мифах имеется сюжет об Острове вечной юности, который находится за много дней пути, «в стране неведомых чужестранцев». На нём (так же как и в новгородском предании) находится мировое древо,которое растет на горе Бессмертия.
Где же находится этот необычный остров, ссылки на который есть у древних историков , географов, поэтов?
В 12 в. монастырские легенды связали локализацию Авалона с Гластонберийским монастырем в Англии, близ уэльской границы, где якобы была обнаружена могила короля Артура. Позднейшая европейская (в том числе оккультная) традиция нередко отождествляла с Островами Блаженных остров Туле.
Его ищут на Фаррерских, Канарских островах, на Рюгене, на Британских островах, на Мальте. Мне больше всего нравится версия о том, что он находится на острове Змеиный, который есть территорией Украины, моей Родины. Кто владеет Змеиным-тот владеет Временем - так гласит Предание.
Хотя, как обычно, все это очень спорно.
Символика, связанная с «островами блаженных» – стеклянная башня, вода, вечное древо, птицы, цветы, дающие бессмертие яблоки, предлагаемые великолепными женщинами, населяющими остров, принадлежит к архаическому слою традиции ,т.е. распространяется на все культурные слои индоевропейцев.
Остров Блаженных (Остров Благословенных, Isle of the Blessed) - одно из самых важных мест Старой Религии: это её центр, это её цитадель, это её источник магии, это её столп силы. Это то, что осталось от когда-то процветающей магии Старой Религии.
Когда-то остров населяли Верховные жрицы и, возможно, их ученики. Туда съезжались паломники и те, кто заключал сделки, прося помощи, соглашаясь на ритуал Жизнь за Смерть или услуга за услугу. Но после Великой Чистки остров пришёл в упадок и все маги и сторонники Верховных жриц и жрецов стали преследоваться.
Всю эту историю я узнала из энциклопедий и сборников мифов ПОСЛЕ написания картины. Ей нужно было давать имя, а в уме вертелось только одно слово – ЭЛИЗИУМ.

Технику, которую я использую для написания картин, я называю "Нейро-живопись". Сначала пишу картину – потом расшифровываю. Шутка... В которой, как известно, есть доля шутки.

I, Tatiana Velyka, am an artist with many years of creative experience. I am also a teacher of history and law. I was born in Ukraine, I live and work here, in a small village - Mezhevaya. My work has always been bright and joyful. They made people happy and healed their souls. On the eve of the war, I painfully wanted to fill the space with black. It was so unexpected and unacceptable. I didn't want to succumb to the blackness, but it felt like sickness. A few months after the start of the war, she could not work. Now I'm ready to share the beautiful again. Vibrant colors in my palette again. I am very grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine and Ukrainians.
My house is located in the East of Ukraine, the fire of war has come close to it. There are many people in my region who were forced to leave their cities or villages. We believe that our soldiers will protect our Fatherland, because the enemy army kills us because it hates us, and our soldiers protect us because they love us.
"Great" (Velyka) is my real surname, not a pseudonym. She studied at the Moscow Institute of Textile and Light Industry, specializing in designer of leather goods, later graduated from Zaporozhye State University with a degree in history. This is what inspired the style of my work.
My paintings are made in different styles (such as neuro-painting, op art, surreal symbolism, art deco, primitivism). My painting technique is related to acrylic paints (dry brush, fishing line, 3-D, poured techniques.
Everything beautiful inspires me: nature and cities, people and ideas, myths, science and mysticism, philosophy and religion. You will get acquainted with their images in my individual works and exhibitions. After so many years of creative work (just work, because it is a "heavy cross"), I can say that my works have a very positive impact on the lives of my customers. There are excellent cases of significant improvement in life situations.
My first work was written at the age of 33. I reproduced on it what then excited my soul. I was a young mother and most worried about the future of my daughters. Although in fact I have been engaged in creativity all my conscious life since childhood. But then there was a special moment.
My works were exhibited in Ukraine: in Pokrovsk, Pavlograd, Donetsk and Dnipro in local history museums, libraries, exhibition halls, educational institutions and shopping and entertainment centers.
