    KARTY SLOVANSKÝCH BOHYNÍ BABA JAGA Nechat jít, katarze, osvobození, roztržení pout, pouštění, transformace, stařena Baba Jaga přichází, aby ti do života pomohla integrovat její kvality. Ovládá všechny přírodní síly, divoké a nezkrotné, ale umí být i laskavá. Je svobodná, protože nenáleží žádnému muži a jako čarodějnice může být klidně i ošklivá. Je nespoutaná a volná. Má přístup k prameni živé a mrtvé vody, vyzná se v lese, poslouchají ji vládci noci, smrti a znovuzrození. Nepotřebuje nikomu nic dokazovat. Je jako mystická šamanka, která ti pomáhá najít skrytou moudrost a čistou pravdu. Někdy je potřeba věci nejdříve pustit, aby se mohly transformovat. Dovol si prožívat její kvality, například ve fázi stařeny během tvého menstruačního cyklu. BELA Voda, emoce, léčení, čištění, podvědomí, přijetí, čistota Bela k tobě přichází a nese poselství, že je čas ponořit se do svých vnitřních vod a přijmout, přeléčit a pustit zadržované emoce nebo situaci. Je tvým podvědomím, hlubokým a neprozkoumaným. Možná tě právě v tuto chvíli přemáhají emoce. Abys mohla vykročit vpřed, musíš stará zranění, která tě drží v uzavřeném kruhu, přijmout a s láskou pustit. Vnímej Belinu přítomnost na březích vodních toků, kde jí můžeš o svých starostech povídat. Ona poslouchá a léčí. Nebo si doma připrav solnou očistnou koupel. Dovol si vše procítit a odevzdat. Pak si do koupele můžeš přidat bylinky a vůně, aby pronikly do celého tvého těla. Nezapomeň, že pro vodu neexistují překážky, umí je obtéct, podemlít, prosáknout, dokud nedosáhne svého cíle. Využij jejích kvalit. DEVANA Lov, nezávislost, ochránkyně zvířat, panna, iniciátorka, divokost Devana přichází z divokých lesů a přináší ti luk a šíp, aby ses mohla postavit na vlastní nohy a už nikdy nebýt na nikom závislá v tom, jak hrdě kráčíš svou cestou divokosti.

Like the Romance and Germanic peoples, they are related by area and culture, not so much by blood. Today there are thirteen different Slavic groups divided into three blocs, Eastern, Southern and Western. These include the Russians, Poles, Czechs, Ukrainians, Byelorussians, Serbians,Croatians, Macedonians, Slovenians, Bulgarians, Kashubians, Albanians and Slovakians. Although the Lithuanians, Estonians and Latvians are of Baltic tribes, we are including some of their customs as they are similar to those of their Slavic neighbors. Slavic Runes were called "Runitsa", "Cherty y Rezy" ("Strokes and Cuts") and later, "Vlesovitsa".

  • Russian Nationalism
    Russian Nationalism This book, by one of the foremost authorities on the subject, explores the complex nature of Russian nationalism. It examines nationalism as a multi­ layered and multifaceted repertoire displayed by a myriad of actors. It considers nationalism as various concepts and ideas emphasizing Russia’s distinctive national character, based on the country’s geography, history, Orthodoxy, and Soviet technological advances. It analyzes the ideologies of Russia’s ultra­ nationalist and far-right groups, explores the use of nationalism in the conflict with Ukraine and the annexation of Crimea, and discusses how Putin’s political opponents, including Alexei Navalny, make use of nationalism. Overall the book provides a rich analysis of a key force which is profoundly affecting political and societal developments both inside Russia and beyond.
