Hello, I'm confused about the plots of the so-called "celestial wedding." On the one hand, there's a Balto-Slavic myth about the marriage of the celestial bodies, where the Sun is represented as a woman. On the other hand, there's a plot (I think it's Bulgarian) in which the Sun is about to get married, but is stopped by a hedgehog, who says that if he marries his sister (Zarya), it will lead to the creation of multiple suns. There's also a motif of the wedding of the Moon and Zarya. I've also heard a version of the plot where the Moon loves Zarya, and the Sun is jealous of his sister Zarya (I've heard that this plot exists, but I haven't heard the actual plot).Furthermore, there's a parallel plot where Zarya does marry the Sun, with the main character directly involved. So, please help me understand how all this is connected.
This is how the Croatian folk song describes the family of Slavic deities and the heavenly wedding (here the Sun is a man and marries Dennitsa):
Jidrilo drivo niz more, u njemu
Pere vojvoda;
na Peri tanka košulja,
tanja od lista makova, gušća od lista naranče.
Peri mi majka govori:
"Otkle ti, Pere, košulja?"
Pere mi majci govori:
"Kada se Sunce ženilo
prisvitlom zvizdom Danicom,
ja sam joj bio za kuma;
ja sam joj prsten darovâ
u kom je sunce i misec.
A ona meni darova tanenu ovu košulju.
