Ukrainian mythology is a separate fantasy world! Mermaids, nymphs, werewolves, house folk, chugaisters - these mythical creatures fascinate and attract attention. Think of the pantheon of pagan gods: Perun, Dazhbog, Lada, Strybog, Mokosh, Veles... Are you interested in learning about them? In addition to this book, the Folio publishing house has published other beautifully illustrated editions by Oleksiy Kononenko in the Ukrainian Mythology series: "Deities and Symbols," "Folklore, Fairy Tales, Customs, Rituals," "Animal and Plant Symbolism," "Weapons, Rituals, Amulets."
This book tells in detail about mythological spirits and persons who have superhuman magical energy and the ability to transform, on whom the lives of our ancestors depended. The mediators in the communication of the ancient Slavs with deities, spirits of nature, and evil spirits were extraordinary persons: priests, magi, healers, sorcerers, witches... They had to propitiate them, establish good relations with them. And all the space from the house to the forest was "inhabited" by house folk, water spirits, maras, werewolves, and mavkas. All these creatures are described in this book. Separate chapters are devoted to the ritual food of our ancestors, diseases and remedies to get rid of them.
