The Russian Steppes

According to their creation mythology, Havonir was resting from creating the world when he made a man and a woman from two clods of dirt at his feet to bring him water while he was in his horse-form. They then helped him to drink until he had regained enough strength to change back into god-form. Once changed, the two Hasti cowered in fear at his greatness. Havonir took pity on them seeing they were naked, hungry, and fearful. He brought them a herd of horses, two of which offered themselves as sacrifices so that he could clothe and feed his two new charges. He then instructed them to care for the horses, warning that he would care for the Hasti and their children as they cared for the horses, so they needed to use horses wisely as a resource.

From this mythology has grown a number of rituals that are meant to mark the times of the year
