This book offers a radical reinterpretation of the Slavic pagan religion made on the basis of a thorough re-examination of all reliable sources. What did Slavic pagan religion have in common with the Afro-American cult of voodoo? Why were no Slavic gods mentioned before the mid-tenth century, and why were there no Slavic gods at all between the Dnieper and the Order? Why were Slavic foundation legends similar to the totemic myths of the nomadic peoples of the Eurasian Steppe, and who were Slavic Remus and Romulus? What were the Indo-European roots of Slavic hippomantic rituals, and where was the Eastern Slavic dragon Zmey Gorynych born? Answers to these and many other provocative questions can be found in this book.

In ancient times, the Slavs worshiped the forces of nature, deifying the sun, water, rain, moon and other natural phenomena. The Slavs believed that their life is subject to the will of higher beings, deities. There were many Slavic tribes, and, therefore, many deities. Over time, the names of a number of deities were forgotten, many deities combined the functions of several predecessors. Spirits played an important role in the life of the ancient Slavs. They lived everywhere: in a field, in a house, in a bathhouse, in a barn, in a forest, in a river, in a lake. People also worshiped them, trying not to anger, but to get their favor. Art therapy is a series of images of Slavic deities and spirits with a brief description of their functions. You will be able to devote time to creativity, meditation, put your thoughts and feelings in order, distract yourself from everyday problems. The book is intended for a wide range of readers.

The fame of nineteenth-century Russian folklorist Aleksandr Afanas'ev is primarily based upon his work as a collector and editor of Russian folk tales. However, his role as an outstanding scholar of Slavic mythology and folk beliefs is often sadly overlooked. This book, based on A. N. Afanas'ev's fundamental study, Poetic Views of the Slavs toward Nature, and inspired by the wealth of knowledge it contains, attempts to reconstruct the ancient Slavic pantheon in the way it was seen by Afanas'ev. It dedicates particular attention to one pagan Slavic deity of paramount importance - Perun, the God of Thunder. Perun's role among other Slavic deities is examined, as are: his relation to similar mythological figures in Indic, Classical, Germanic, and other mythologies; his mythological roots, attributes, relationships to the world of animals, plants; and meteorological phenomena. A special chapter shows how, often quite unexpectedly, Perun's presence manifests itself in popular works of Russian literature.
