Baba Nyura. Osinovo. Legends of sorcerers and witches
14.99 €
This book is based on tales associated with the now-defunct village of Osinovo and its inhabitants, who were considered powerful witches and sorcerers capable of performing miracles, though these miracles were hardly benign.

Is it true that unique cults and traditions existed in the village of Osinovo? Or are these simply fabrications, born decades later as people retold mysterious tales to one another? The answer lies in eyewitness accounts collected at various times in the same part of the Tikhvin district of the Leningrad region, familiar to readers from other books by the Baba Nyura laboratory.

The book does not urge the reader to investigate the authenticity of what is commonly called "village mysticism" with the fervor of a detective. Instead, it invites them to delve into the alluring depths of legends passed down orally, from generation to generation, and to be imbued with an atmosphere of sacred, reverent awe of the forest and its ancient mysteries.
