The beauty of the event is the beauty of the place and the characters, so I said to myself and I think about the old habit inherited by the people of Algeria and the Maghreb in general on their wedding and wedding occasions, which is still relatively common in some rural and mountainous areas so that The time of urbanization and digitization works to eliminate it.
And perhaps most people will not know the secret of the habit applied to our weddings, which is to spray the road taken by the bride and her procession with water, whether ordinary water or distilled rose water, but the legacies and lyric in the Algerian Auras, for example, still cut the secret of those The tradition and gives a clear idea of it, and the story of a beautiful overflowing meanings that may explain many aspects in the mind of Algerian men and women of Algeria, since the myth is a humanitarian industry where the literary or artistic side meets with the legendary side and hobbyist, Which builds the fundamental aspects of the nature of society's thinking And its behavior towards specific positions and themes, through the trilogy of place, time and event.
The truth is that the custom of spraying the bride's procession with water is a ritual whose purpose is to mimic an ancient fairy tale in Amazigh mythology, that long ago, somewhere in the land of Thamesgha (1) The Oras, where bliss is mixed with ambiguity and spirituality, and according to the local population, lived a very beautiful girl named in some sources "Tislet" which means fiancee in general or may mean fascination or something like that. Teslet was famous among her people as both the modesty and the intense love for the springs of water and rivers. She was immersed in the huge Eurasian mountain, wandering among its mountains and springs, living those beautiful moments of life, saturation of her love for water and her hands with her soft hands. Towards the sky to splinter into hundreds of twinkling droplets that come back like a nice rain of rain wetting her bright face, singing songs with her fresh voice, where the birds of trees stand silent and confused.
Thus, the young girl spent her day visiting all the valleys, springs and springs that she knew by name, to receive greetings from them and to use each of them as a refreshing drink of water. She continued to sing and dance, caressing the brilliant water that melted between the rocks with her fingertips, Her hair, seeking blessings and peace for her and her tribe and land that can not live and live and thrive without this treasure. And it was through all those rituals, which returned itself to them as if somehow express their defilement and lift them from all the whims of young people like her age, and was through those long hours spent in the mountain between his trees and religion and animals as if expressing their desire to get away From the eyes of the village knights, each of whom hides his ambitions, ambitions and desperate dreams of winning and taking a bride one day. As the years passed, the girl increased her beauty and freshness at the time when she reached her self-effacing and mystical level. She was the spiritual upbringing that paved the way for her to connect with the supernatural world without her knowledge. She was only evading the fans and lovers from her side. And Al-Ghaith and serve the drivers on which to live their people, and renovate the old and the expansion of the wells and streams of modern, without forgetting songs and poems, which were through which the virtues of condescension and the virtues of water and what they represent of life and purity.
One day, while Tislet was trembling from one of the ponds where the springs of different water were gathered, there was a trembling towering in the far horizon. The "Anzar" of the rain forest was driven to one of the far reaches to clean up its land and live its sowing and heralding the people to the Mubarak season. Something that caught the attention of God above the earth, something he thought at first sight, a lighted torch from the many flares that illuminate the world of the superheroes fell accidentally on the land of the Auras, but it was momentarily puzzling as it was moving right and north. This is what he concluded, relying on his piercing vision, so he decided to explore the matter and move with his wind that was filling the clouds that he was riding into the distant mountain chain. It was only a few hours before Anzar was above the place where that strange white flame was moving, The strangest thing is that God and his sharp reputation picked up those fresh feminine melodies that were soaked in water, cloud and rain with an authentic Shawi (2), so he decided to get closer to him even above those sources, where he caught sight of that charming girl and revealed Her legs are interested in entering the pool and continuing to sing. Holding his nose to his breath for a moment and he looks at her from above the clouds hardly believe what he sees. She was not a star who fell from the sky, but a woman who had never seen her before. He was not only looking at her apparent goodness, but was amazed by the purity of her white spirit, which was radiant with its lights that illuminated the entire mountain. The lights were not Teslet or any other But he saw the depth of her soul as the visionary looked at the pure water through the pure glass. He asked himself in astonishment: "How can Adam's creature reach this degree of purity and spiritual purity? "He said. But he penetrated the same vision and thought and realized then that Taffha and life are the ones who brought it to this case.
From that day on, he decided to settle on the top of the Oras after Teslet was so hardened, shy and feminine. He was so attached to her that he became a fanatic. All this was an outright expression of his love for Tislet. The land was as green as it had never before, and the springs of water burst forth from it, so that all kinds of good and sustenance spread over the people of Tislet, who noticed strange things.He spoke with that girl, who whenever she went up to the mountain and broke herself singing songs and poems about water and modesty only filled with the sky and the ridge and rained well, the girl became a saint at a time when it was a man suffering, And he can not descend to a lower level. If he marries, he will choose a god from his world.
It was the same until the day when the patience of the rain god came to an end, after deep thought and a long soul decided to submit to the act and Teslit Taslit everything, and ask for her hand to marry, especially after he met her through all that Ghaith around the land Her family to paradise. One morning, while the girl was sitting on the bank of one of those many lakes her lover had given her without giving birth. If a flash came down from the clouds in the form of a thunderbolt that struck the ground with a force that shook her everything, she turned out to be a wonderful man The age raised Teslet's panic, which was fixed in its place for fear and exile. The young man gave him a steady pace and then knew about himself with all respect and respect. The girl had believed him and would not have done if she had not seen what happened a few moments ago. He explained to her that ordinary humans can not meet gods unless they A great deal of good morals and spiritual purity as Teslet, which was aimed at him with lightning glimpses because she could not lift her eyes from the ground after being approached by a pair of them in a way that embarrassed her and embarrassed her and highlighted the shame and modesty in her movements and words. He first offered them to meet again to talk and to get to know each other better so as to absorb this strange change in her life and diary, but she refused and told him boldly blended with rare elegance that this behavior is not cheated and is considered a disgrace and betrayal of her father and Her brothers and all of her family .. Even if it comes to God, they do not date anyone in secret. When Azhar declared that he had no intention but to take his wife, he was offered the opportunity to surprise the young woman, who blushed shyly as she ran towards her village between jogging and running.
The master of the four chapters did not understand what happened, since he was a god. He used to be all that he wanted or asked for as easily as water, but he realized that the human world was more complicated than he thought. He continued to insist on Teslet, And she makes excuses, even though she and in some place of herself were impressed by his personality, his elegance, his strength and his strength, he exchanged the feelings of love that she feared and hid from him, although he felt them for a long time. , But the eldest girl was suffering from the idea of leaving her to live in her land and between her people and customs and traditions to move to another life In the midst of a society that did not always deal with her idealistic ideas, and then she was afraid that her people would interpret her love for Anzar as a betrayal of tribal customs that forbade marriage to outsiders. Thus, with the passage of weeks and months, the reason for the love and happiness of Anzar turned into a cause for his grief and pain, to the day when he felt that he had already felt that love had taken him out of the ideal world of gods to plunge him into a world of paradoxes And the problems and struggle for self-preservation, so he decided to make a final attempt. Teslet declared that he did not intend to marry her in order to distinguish her from her own people, but because she was madly in love with her, but without interest. It refuses and refuses.
At that time Anzar felt a great insult to his character, and he shrank to his place and reduced everything he did and gave him to his love. The sadness turned to anger, whose sparks flew from the eyes of the handsome young man who turned into a thunderous thunderbolt. His conversations with Teslet, and the dispersed of the clouds, which long wrapped Thamesgha and put a fresh autumn air for many months, and returned to the burning sun of Africa to spread the curls of her fiery dry fire across the country, and with it began ponds and lakes shrink, and began valleys and rivers shrink and retreat . It lasted for many months, in which a large drought hit the region and the plant and the lives of the people were reduced to misery and misery. Teslet found herself lost after the Auras lost their splendor and their roots and flowers disappeared. The young woman realized how much he was a fan of her and how fertile, productive and joyful she was with her. She had to conclude that she would not be able to live with her people in an arid desert without water, which was her soul and the essence of her existence. Tislet finally accept the request of Anzar to be his wife, she began to plead in her absence and prayed for him and prayed for his return. This is what happened on the day of the people hinted heavy black clouds in the horizon emanating from his liver and flashes of scattered lightning, came Ghaith a lot and raining profusely and dance residents under the residents of the celebrations and celebrations, as the bride rushed the rain footsteps and is climbing the mountain to meet her husband Who was in the midst of happiness and joy, he carried her in his arms and flew to the sky in the form of a flash that left behind only happiness and good, Teslet turned to what is now known as rainbow, which is the rain bride in the Algerian popular culture.
Thus, for many centuries the inhabitants of Algeria have inherited the habit of spraying the procession of the bride with water in symbolic representation to the girl who formed the image of modesty, modesty, pride and purity. These are the qualities that bring a man from the precious metal as a kanzar. Exaggerated in those qualities because it may transform the girl's life into a vacuum and dryness that makes no sense just like in the story.
It remains to be noted that the only thing that disturbs some of the rituals that are held in commemoration of this myth is that they are still and today in some areas From Algeria and Morocco, where illiteracy and blind adherence to inherited customs are held, accompanied by rituals approaching paganism. Some still pray to Ansar who call for his name, seeking a rainy and fertile season, although Islam has put an end to the myth and reality. Today we recognize that the story of the Bride of the Rain is a mythological myth that our people have inherited for thousands of years, but we must maintain and preserve it in a way that does not contradict our creed and the spirit of the times as some insist, take from them what benefits us culturally and socially, It calls for fundamental educational values and concepts that we reject by the fierce onslaught of globalization, which threatens our values and our Algerian and Maghreb national identity as a whole, and let the mythical face and idolatry aside because we simply live in the age of science and logic.
