Slavic Traditions & Mythology, Vol. 2 Paperback – November 6, 2023

Authored by Stefan Cvetković, this is the second volume of Slavic Traditions & Mythology, one of the most thorough and inclusive works in its field, offering non-Slavic speakers a journey into the depths of the pre-Christian Slavic heritage.Similar to its predecessor, this volume places significant emphasis on comparative mythology and symbolism, present in numerous Indo-European cultures. This aspect adds significant value and educational merit to the books, appealing not only to individuals of Slavic heritage, but also to those interested in discovering shared cultural foundations across Europe.The second volume of Slavic Traditions & Mythology encompasses material that couldn't be included in the previous volume due to its extensive length and detail. This led to the inclusion of several essential topics in this volume, such as the exploration of shamanism among the Slavs, cosmogonic and eschatological myths, domestic mysteries, ancestral veneration, and the enduring influence of ancient Indo-European Koryos warbands on Slavic culture, particularly in epic poetry. The book provides comprehensive coverage of these subjects and more.For too long, the mythology and pre-Christian religious tradition of the Slavs have been shrouded in misinterpretation, misinformation, and obscurity from various sources. Now, through the dedication and determination of the author, readers are presented with a literary work that grants depth and meaningful understanding to those seeking to understand the essence of the native Slavic religious tradition.
