Slavic Folklore. Hidden Meanings of Fairytales, Rites, and Rituals (book + bookmark)

The second book after the bestseller «Kittens in World Culture» in the series «Unboring Folklore»!
This time, uncover the secrets of Slavic folklore — a world where gods and spirits live, where keys to reality are hidden in fairytales,... and where the memories of ancestors are found in rituals. This book will tell about Mara, Perun, the Domovoi and 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 folklore exotic, but a conversation with the otherworldly. Holidays are not just an excuse to dance by the fire, but a key to understanding how our ancestors experienced fear, love, growing up, and goodbye. Do you want to know why and what secret signs were embroidered on shirts and why spring was welcomed with baked goods?
This book allows you to hear the whisper of ancient knowledge: in holidays, in everyday life, in fairytales and rituals — everything is connected, and nothing is accidental.
Modern language and atmospheric illustrations by Lotur Norn combined with a drop of magic make this book the ideal guide to a world where reality and myth are one whole.
A stylish bookmark as a gift!
