The second book after the bestseller «Kittens in World Culture» in the series «Exciting Folklore»!
This time, uncover the secrets of Slavic folklore — a world where gods and spirits dwell, where the keys to reality are hidden in tales, and the memory of ancestors is in rituals. This book will tell you about Mara, Perun, the house spirit and the leshy, about heroes and witches, rituals and symbols that surrounded our ancestors in everyday life — from embroidered towels to love spells.
The Kolobok there is not just a bun, but a challenge to the very concept of fate. Ritual songs at funerals are not folkloric exoticism, but a conversation with the otherworld. Festivals are not just an excuse to dance around the fire, but a key to understanding how our ancestors experienced fear, love, growing up, and farewell. Do you want to know why and what secret symbols were embroidered on shirts and why spring was welcomed with baked goods?
This book allows you to hear the whisper of ancient knowledge: in festivals, in everyday life, in tales and rituals — everything is connected, and nothing is accidental.
Modern language and atmospheric illustrations by Lotur Norn combined with a touch of magic make this book an ideal guide to a world where reality and myth are one whole.
As a gift — a stylish bookmark!
