***
In ancient times, human was very dependent on nature and natural phenomena. For example, the success of fishing depended on the number of fish in water bodies, the success of hunting depended on the number of animals in the forests, and the success of gathering depended on the number of plants in the forests.
And the world in the minds of people of that time was divided into three parts - Heaven, Earth and the Underworld. And this image of the world was even presented in the image of the World Tree, which connected these three worlds. Also, the World Tree served as a symbol of the three worlds - its crown personified the Heaven, its trunk was a symbol of the Earth, and the roots were a symbol of the Underworld.
The ancient Slavs did not divide nature into living and inanimate. Everything that surrounded them was endowed with life, be it trees, animals or stones.
At the end of the book there is a section with black and white image of cards for coloring and cutting. The cards depict Slavic deities and spirits. The reader can colorize the cards, give them energy, escape from everyday problems, and engage in creativity. Then, painted cards can be cut out and pasted onto cardboard — and thus get your own unique deck of cards, which you can use as an assistant in everyday life.
