Slavic Magic. From Magi and Sorcerers to Bereginyas and Werewolves
19.99 €
Slavic magical practices are considered superstitions and old wives' tales, but they have been preserved in the memory of hundreds of generations of our ancestors and are still alive. Even today, children look for beautiful stones with a hole in the middle on the seashore, asking for protection from the "chicken god", and women let their hair down during childbirth. Love spells are in demand, despite any arguments of reason, and family "rituals" are present in almost every home. Slavic magic was not bookish, but folk, traditional, passed down from generation to generation in the form of ceremonies, spells, decorative motifs of wooden houses and embroideries. And as history has shown, folk traditions are much more tenacious than secret knowledge recorded by "learned" magicians and alchemists.
