How do people share their feelings? I poured out all my water to manifest myself beyond my shell. Wasn't that enough?

Slavs and Vikings Festival in Wolin, Poland

The Slavs and Vikings Festival is one of the largest early-medieval events in the world. There are archery and spear-throwing competitions, games and contests for kids, craft-making presentations demonstrating how jewelry, coins, horns, and amber were created, live music, readings, and much more.

Wolin is a town located on Poland’s largest island (of the same name) on the coast of the Baltic Sea. It's a City of History, whose glory days date back to 1000 years ago. In the early Middle Ages, it was one of the largest and most powerful cities in this part of Europe, and ranked among the most important ports of the Baltic Sea. Wolin is considered to have been the gateway through which Scandinavians traveled southwards from the Baltic Sea to inland Piast state.

Elnias Devyniaragis

- The nine-horned deer runs away each Summer Solstice and returns during Winter Solstice. In the depths of winter, on a very cold December night, a nine-horned deer makes it's way through the woods, bringing a symbol of light and life in it's antlers. A newly reborn Sun. It is speculated that the myth of this bringer of light stems from many, many millennia ago, when glaciers were still forming the northern landscape and reindeers lived in these lands. Till this day, the pagan celebration and traditions of the Winter Solstice continue to mix with the celebration of Christmas, at times overcoming the Catholic aspects like many other celebrations do.
