Книги можно сравнить с мирными друзьями, приятными и полезными, в которых мы не встречаем ни капризов, ни нескромности.

Они дают нам много и ничего не требуют взамен.

Мы можем их оставить в минуты, когда довольны судьбой и без них и, наоборот, имеем полное право возвращаться к ним, в минуты горя, с полной уверенностью найти в них совет и утешение.

Они сеют в душе нашей знания, которые, разрастаясь, приносят богатый плод.

Я обычный человек с обычными мыслями и жизнь прожил самую обыкновенную.

Мне не поставят памятник, имя мое скоро забудется, и все же я познал любовь, и мне этого достаточно.

��оиск свободы — это единственная побуждающая сила, которую я знаю.

Это свобода улететь внезапно в бесконечность, которая где-то там.

Это свобода умереть, исчезнуть навсегда.

Это свобода быть подобным пламени свечи, которая остается неугасимой в мире, озаряемом светом миллиардов великолепных звезд, остается неугасимой потому, что никогда не считает себя чем-то большим, чем есть на самом деле, — всего лишь свечой.

Ved’ma (rus. ведьма, “the one who knows”— witch) — is undoubtedly one of the most popular folklore characters throughout the world, whose main traits are similar in majority of the cultures. As we all know from the folklore, witches are women, who have concluded an alliance with evil spirits or inherited their magical gift from the ancestors. However, any unsociable or strange-behaving women could be easily considered as witches. According to the slavic beliefs, ved'mas looked just like every common woman (some fables and legends, however, mention tail or small horns, which were diligently hidden*) with a hard look and unnaturally swollen and red eyelids. Witches always avoided eye contact, because it was believed that you could see an inverted reflection of the man in their pupils. It was thought that the sight of the Kupala fire (one of the main holidays in pagan Rus’) was especially painful for witches and was considered the best way to spot the wicked ones. To avoid the inheritance of the magic power, ved'mas were buried with their face down.

* — Those details were most likely added to the character after the сhristianization of Rus, when the most of the pagan folklore characters were given the traits of christian demons. I have to mention, though, that the image of ved'ma in slavic culture is much more positive compared to the european “colleagues” (once again, because of parallel coexistence of сhristianity and pagan beliefs).

P.S. I have mentioned only the facts that I couldn’t find in other cultures’ folklore. A year wouldn’t be enough to write the full description.

Thoughts about Veles...

Sometimes when people mention this deity, it ends up described simply as a “protector of the forest”. This function is correct, but we need to keep in mind that it is an incomplete description. More precisely is to say that the “protector of the forest” is just one of the many roles that this deity partakes. So in that particular role Veles is basically equated with lesnik - spirit of the forest. It is understandable that the forest will symbolize domain of Veles. Forest is considered as an embodiment of the unknown, simultaneously it is residence for bears, wolfs and other beasts, but also it is source of food and medicinal herbs, eternally darkened under the shade of numerous trees. However, Veles is far away of being confined exclusively to forest. He is the one who rewards with all kinds of wealth, one who inspire artists and also the one who brings diseases and host the deceased. Veles is the chaotic nature of the unknown. He is an unlimited potential that lay at the bottom of everything. That coiled up snake at the roots of the World Tree all bendy and crooked.

It takes a lot of insane courage to go all out on one's own, to pave a path of one's own without letting anyone dictate their terms on how YOU must spend YOUR life. So you follow your own deeper instincts, your inner callings, your own divine clock, set and paced at your own sweet timetable, at no competition with any, zero comparisons, an uncrowned monarch by your own right, unknown on earth but well known in the heavens, for having imagined, planned, carved and executed a unique lifestyle of your own. Kudos to all the unsung heroes of life that have mastered the game of destiny itself...

I never cared for my image that the world had of me. I was busy seeking my real form - the unseen, the indivisible, the ancient side of me...

It makes absolutely no difference of how many blessings you have received. What really matters is the depth of your gratitude...
