Zmiiny (Snake Island) attests to Ukraine's "Mana."

On the anniversary of Russia’s “Goodwill Gesture” retreat from Zmiiny (Snake) Island off the coast of Ukraine, this post.

That M-N- sound first appeared in the Ancient Ukrainians' word for the Moon (*Meh1not).

A somewhat mysterious, almost mantic 🪄phenomenon, Mana is even immanent in "immanent" and "phenomenon". Few words, including immunity, are immune from M-N-'s power.

Mana travelled from Ancient Ukraine (around where Ruschists blew the dam) where it first meant "Moon" around 4,000 BCE into colonising the meanings and signifiers of some of the most important words across all Indo-European languages that manifested out of Ancient Ukrainian:

Community, Communion, Communication, Munition, Manager, Mantra, Mound, Mean, Money (we take the vehicle for what's immanent in money: our Mana), Monarch, Command, Mind, Ceremony, Patrimony, Karman, Mani, Romantic, Demon, Brahman, Emancipate, Moan,... and so Many more (including Many).

Even the name of our species stems from Ancient Ukraine's moon-based metaphor signalling semantic system that's still illuminating our minds and words today in English, a descendent language of Ancient Ukrainian:

Human - the first humans in Indo-European founding myths: Mannus (Germanic), Manu (India), Manuš (Persia), Ayryaman & Angra Mainyu / Spenta Mainyu (Iran), Mananaan (Ireland), Roman Romulus (and his Mana anagrammed grandfather Numitor and and successor Numa)...

Immanent in Ukraine is the Mana of the whole of Indo-European civilisation.

And Zmiiny is central to Ukraine's Mana as warriors protecting our civilisation's Mana.

In Power of Mana we solve the puzzle of how and why this Ancient Ukrainian sound illuminates so many meanings. Do subscribe!
