This is an automatically translated description

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," "Spirits, Persons, Rites," "Animal and Plant Symbolism," "Weapons, Rituals, Amulets."

This book introduces the reader to the world of myths, epics, fairy tales and folklore characters that are part of the artistic culture of the people. Some historians suggest that the Slavic self-name "slavins" comes from the Greek "sloven", meaning people who know the word. As Yakiv Holovatsky noted, for our ancestors, "the word had something magical, a mysterious power, which was a high wisdom to recognise." The publication also tells about the musical instruments of our ancestors, customs, rites and rituals associated with deities and nature, and the feasts of Christian saints.
