MAKOSH
Mokosh (МАКОШЬ) - Slavic goddess.
Her name comes from the word "yarn". There is another version of the origin of the name - "get wet" (hence the connection with rain and fertility, water - rain is what feeds the earth and everything that exists on earth).
If you look at the composition of the word, then "MA" - in the Slavic language mother, and "KOSH" - lot, fate. I wonder what mom's mother will be mom. Ie mother 2 times.
Hence - the "mother of fate", that is, the influence on fate, the chance intended for a person. But also "KOSH" among the Slavs - a basket, a basket for grain, a barn (a place for storing grain - a crop, as well as a cart for sheaves ... connection with the harvest ...
Summing up everything, one can single out - the "mother of the harvest", the goddess of the earth and fertility. And also - fate, judgment.
Makosh is similar to Hekate, associated with yarn and threads of fate. The arbiter of fate.
