Ved-ava is a water deity, common to several Finnic peoples traditionally dependent on fishing. She is also sometimes associated with fertility. She is generally depicted as a water creature resembling a mermaid, with long hair, large breasts, and the lower body of a fish complete with tail, and is sometimes said to play or sing, seducing humans with her music. Fishermen sacrificed to her the first of their catch and observed numerous taboos related to her while fishing. Seeing Ved-ava boded ill, most often drowning. She has been regarded as the spirit of a drowned person or simply as a personification of the water itself.

  • Ved-ava (conosciuta come Veden Emo oppure Veen Emo nella mitologia finlandese, Veteema nella mitologia estone e Wedhen Eme oppure Veden Emä in quella careliana è considerata una divinità delle acque.

  • 韦季-阿瓦(Ved-ava)是传统上依赖捕渔的波罗的海和芬兰-乌戈尔语民族神话中的一位女水神。她有时也与生育有关。通常被描绘为颇似美人鱼的水中生物,长头发、大乳房,下半身是一条完整的鱼尾巴,也说她喜欢嬉戏或唱歌,常用歌声来勾引人。渔民一般会将首次捕得的渔获敬献给她,捕鱼时小心遵守与她有关的各种禁忌。看见韦季-阿瓦则预示不吉利,最常见的是溺水。她一直被视为溺死者的鬼魂,或直接是水本身的人格化精灵。 莫尔多瓦人(现在的俄罗斯西部区域)认为她是水之母,她能淹死野浴的人或降下一种唯有她能治愈的疾病。为了向她请求宽恕,须向水中扔掷钱币、黍米等。她管辖可医治百病的药泉韦季-普里亚(Vedi-Puria)。据说她还是爱情和生育子女的保护神。人们祈求她帮助未婚妻解除不育的苦恼。她还能普降甘霖;爱沙尼亚人称她为韦登-艾玛(Vete-ema),而芬兰人叫她维恩-伊莫(Veen emo),马里人神话中也有类似的人物-维尤特-阿瓦,“维尤特”为马里语,意为“水”。 (zh)
