In the “Folio” publishing house, within the “Ukrainian Mythology” series, other beautifully illustrated editions by Oleksii Kononenko were also published: “Spirits, Figures, Rituals,” “Folklore, Fairy Tales, Customs, Rituals,” “Animal and Plant Symbolism,” and “Weapons, Rituals, Amulets.”
This edition introduces readers to the mythological world of gods and the characters of calendar and seasonal rituals created by our distant ancestors, who could not explain many natural phenomena that were stronger than them.
These beings were believed to govern human life, support basic occupations and crafts, and influence the forces of nature.
The book includes original descriptions of deities, explains the origins of celestial bodies (stars, planets), the Milky Way, and constellations, and also explores the modern Ukrainian calendar, where each season has important dates around which holidays, customs, and rituals are organized.
