The traditions, beliefs, and rituals of the Russian people trace their roots back to Slavic mythology - to the richly metaphorical and allegorical world of fairy tales, legends, and folklore. This book lifts the veil of time and tells the modern reader about the pantheon of ancient Slavic gods, the spirits they believed in, and to whom our distant ancestors made generous offerings, what holidays were celebrated in those times, how the quality of future harvests was determined by natural phenomena, and what signs promised imminent misfortune or, conversely, a happy resolution to complex life situations. Richly illustrated with colorful Russian paintings, the book is also supplemented with ancient songs, epics, and tales that have been carefully preserved and passed down to our days. This edition will be of interest to students, as well as to anyone interested in the historical roots of Slavic culture.
