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: "Spirits, Persons, Rites", "Folklore, Fairy Tales, Customs, Rites", "Animal and Plant Symbolism", "Weapons, Rituals, Amulets"

This publication introduces readers to the mythical world of gods, characters of calendar and seasonal rites, who were invented by our distant ancestors who could not explain many of the surrounding phenomena that were stronger than they were. These beings were meant to guide human life, to facilitate the main trades and occupations, and to influence the forces of nature. The book contains original descriptions of the deities, tells about the origin of celestial bodies (stars, planets), the Milky Way, constellations, and the modern Ukrainian calendar, where each season has an important date around which holidays, customs, and rituals are centred.
