Natural Calendar of the Slavs and Rus

The book by writer and artist Andrey Guselnikov is dedicated to the folk calendar and Slavic gods. The gods of the Slavs are the heritage of all Indo-Europeans. The solar images of the ancient Slavs, myths of the seasons, the... magic of the elements of water, air, fire, and earth—all this can be found by the reader in the new book! Names such as Veles, Perun, Lada, Makosh, Yarilo, Dazhdbog resonate with modern lovers of ancient Slavic heritage. The pronunciation of the names of their native gods triggers genetic memory. People long for the romance with which their ancestors lived in nature… The book provides an author's vision of the gods. The author reveals hidden meanings in the folk patterns that have reached our days, exploring the theme of archaic antiquity, working through it in illustrative images. The book contains not only black-and-white illustrations, but also color ones—with graphic representations of Veles and Perun, as well as the mythological world tree. This edition also features a novelty—a calendar with signs, as well as names for the phases of the year.
