The world of spirits of the Russian people. Guselnikov A.

The book “The World of the Spirits of the Russian People” is dedicated to the spirits revered in the Russian people, which the villagers faced in the house, in the courtyard, in the forest, in the fields and on the rivers. You can find a lot in common between the world of the spirits of the Russian and related Indo -European peoples. We see a similar resemblance between the worlds of the spirits of peoples living on different continents.

brownies, courtyard, bath, goblin, water, mermaid - this is what can be said offhand. And there are little -known perfumes, such as Ownnik, Shishiga, Kikimora, Meadow, Field, Swamp. Our book not only talks about them, but also shows their manifestations depending on the seasons. Twelve spirits are attached to each month. Say, in April, a waterway wakes up with an ice drift, mermaids begin their festivities in May, in July it creates Bourlomas of the goblin, and the marshmallow lets in the field in the field. In the fall, natural spirits go to bed under the snow and ice, and house spirits begin to help people.

You will learn about all this in the book I have presented to your attention.
