The Mari use old costumes made by their grandmothers, but they regularly update some details - sleeves, fragments of aprons. Old embroideries are appreciated, so they try to cut them off so that they can then be sewn onto new things. New materials are added to them - purchased braid, lace, shiny accessories and decor.
Then I will forget you,
Beloved family,
When a
red flower with a blue border blooms on the stone .

The wind blows, cleans the
Long Road from dust.
And they did not notice, and did not know
How our life went.

Oh, my guests, my guests,
what can I give you?
I would give half my soul - You
cannot live without a soul.

Look at me now,
What apron I have.
Look now,
What guests are at my table.

Rose flower is not just me,
Even a little bee loves.
My family is not only me,
all the people love.

Let's sing
when everyone is together.
When we are all together,
We will be like doves.

WITCHCRAFT: FROM ANCESTORS AND FROM TV
“It's a pity that we knew so little about our own Mari tradition in the 90s, then many were baptized, because it was not clear where else to run.”
The local experience of the Ural Mari can provide a key to understanding the global problems of ourselves - urban dwellers with an indefinite identity, complex family histories, and a chaotic belief system.

She gives the example of a Māori Sacred Cloak and says that when a woman wears it "she is more than herself – that she is her ancestors."
"An inalienable possession acts as a stabilizing force against change because its presence authenticates cosmological origins, kinship, and political histories."[9] In this way, the Cloak actually stands for the person."These possessions then are the most potent force in the effort to subvert change, while at the same time they stand as the corpus of change".
"Over time, objects acquire new meanings and what was once a humble pot may become a sacred vessel." This transformation in the object is the result of ritualization or a change in cosmology.
In fact, "Ritual Knowledge is often a source of political power."
