Slavic Symbols

The book offers a new perspective on ancient Slavic culture. The symbol held great significance during pagan times, as it often carried the main semantic weight in magical and priestly arts. After all, a symbol is not merely an insignia... or ornament on a shaman's staff, idol, ritual vessel, or other item, but a collection of sacred meanings, magical effects, and the millennia of work by ancient geniuses who shaped this sign. Simply put, the symbol in Slavic paganism primarily carries a magical charge, and only in the last instance - an aesthetic one. Symbols were used to influence and transform the world. Many symbols serve as protective amulets, "repelling" dark forces of chaos, while others may cause harm. The reader will not only learn much about the everyday and cultural customs of our ancestors, but also find explanations for many of the signs and beliefs of today.
