Sirin is a beautiful woman with the body of a bird, whose melodies are so enchanting that only the truly happy can hear her without falling into sorrow. Her origins have been obscured through time, but she possibly emerged in ancient Persia before migrating to the Volga region and beyond its banks.
Her appearances are rare and often herald significant spiritual events. Icons depict her perched in trees, singing to the saints, or foretelling of momentous changes. To seek the Sirin is to search for a glimpse of divine joy. However, it is advised to approach with a content heart and joyous thoughts, lest her song lead you into eternal melancholy.
