Well, It's good to be back :)

While I'm searching for some good texts about mythology and history to write, I decided to tell something about my impresions of Folk & folk metal music. For me, that was logical connection. I adore Slavs, Celts and Norsemen, and love to their way of life expanded to love of their beautiful music. Also i like metal music, hevy and power metal only at first when I was kid, but when I heard mighty combination of traditional instruments with modern sound of metal, I was delighted :) My favourites are Cruachan, Eluveitie, Tuatha De Danann; Arkona, Pagan Reign (mighty Russian band); Fejd, Ensiferum, Finntroll, Folkearth, Moonsorrow, Turisas, Korpiklaani... Only one thing, which occurs in some of those bands, I don't like - harsh vocals. My opinion is that God gave us normal, beautiful voice, so there is no need for snarling, howling, roaring and for many similar things which animals do. But despite that, that is my favourite music, because of sound......

Rod doesn't have anthropomorfic shape like rest of the gods, he is Cosmos itself. He is personification of the primal nothingness which gave birth to everything. He is primal element - Air, and from that became all other -Water, Earth, Fire; ofcourse, he remained air. Svarog and Lada are male and female personifications of Rod, they are examples that every contrast become from the same origin. Svarog is father of the gods, and Lada is mother of the gods. They are the symbols of the male and female principle, which can be recognised in everything (they are rather mixed than separated).They also can be called the Pre-fire and Pre-water, they continue the myth which begins with Rod and ends with Veles (Volos), Perun, Da?bog (Dabog), Svetovid.

Many people describe Veles as God-protector of the shepherds, cattle and flock; that is in fact, only one of his numerous functions. He is also God of wisdom and magic and he  taught people in agriculture.

Perun is God of thunder, he is son......
