Have you heard of Perun, Veles, and Mokoš?

Guardians of the Ancient Slavic World is a collection of stories deeply rooted in Old Slavic mythology. Its main characters are Perun, Veles, and Mokoš – gods who lived in subtle symbiosis with humans and natural forces. By listening to the pulse of the earth and sky, they guided humanity, teaching them the most essential rules and life values.

Discover the beliefs of our ancestors, why they celebrated the power and beauty of nature, and how they bestowed respect and the beauty of creation upon the trees, the wind, the river, the roots, the air, and the sky.

Life is a Magic of Intertwined Threads

Through the pages of this book, the guardians of the ancient Slavic world come to life through the vivid and bright illustrations of Sanja Kolenko and the sharp, engaging prose of author Kristina Zvonar Brkić.
