Pausanias gives us a description of a girl’s attire for the Heraean games. The athletes, with their hair hanging freely and dressed in special tunics that cut just above the knee and bared their right shoulder and breast, competed in footraces. The track shortened to about one-sixth the length of the men’s was made up in the Olympic Stadium. While women were not allowed to watch the men’s Olympics, it’s uncertain if men were barred from these all-female races.
Elis decreed that if a married woman (unmarried women could watch) was caught present at the Olympic Games she would be cast down from Mount Typaeum and into the river flowing below, according to Greek geographer and travel writer Pausanias. They also were not allowed to participate in the athletic contests of the Heraean festival, and were barred on penalty of death from the Sanctuary of Zeus.

The Sorcerer is a cave painting found in "The Sanctuary" portion of the Cave of the Trois-Freres in France. It is notable for its humanoid aspects in contrast to the rest of the paintings being animals. It is over 10,000 years old and is typically considered to be of extreme importance. Either being a depiction of shamanic ritual or a depiction of the Horned god himself. Though other options exist the chimera like being does call to mind both European shamanic practices (Witchcraft) and any number of European horned gods such as Herne, Akerbeltz, Pan, Veles, Cernunnos, Etc.-TLK
I just happen to learn that the old Slavic horoscope has 16 different halls of Svarog, and my date of birth (March 16th) falls under the hall of the wolf. The hall of the wolf is connected to god Veles. This is probably why I am drawn to god Veles more than any other Slavic pagan god or goddess, and also why I ended up picking the name Velesa for my pseudonym here on Telegram, being that I’m a female, and this is god Veles’s name feminised.

I notice that the Viking pants for men look almost identical to the Cossack men pants
