The oak tree carried the fury of Perun, god of thunder. The river hid the rusalky - beautiful, dangerous spirits of women who died too soon. The house had a heartbeat: a small, watchful presence behind the oven that moved with the family, protected the cattle, and warned of danger in the night. These were not superstitions. They were the living religion of a people shaped by steppe and forest, by flood and fire, by five thousand years of extraordinary survival.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this richly told guide, folklorist Kateryna Kovalenko brings the mythological world of Ukraine vividly to life - not as a museum exhibit but as something still breathing in the embroidery on a wedding shirt, in the decorated eggs of Easter, in the bonfires lit every midsummer on the river's edge. From the thunder god Perun and the deep, shape-shifting Veles, to the fate-spinning goddess Mokosh, the forest spirit Lisovyk, and the irresistible witch Baba Yaha, each deity and spirit is given back their story, their landscape, and their meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on centuries of Ukrainian ethnography, medieval chronicles, and the living folk tradition, this is a book for anyone who wants to understand a culture that has never stopped fighting to exist - and the ancient, indestructible stories at its heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 102\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.24 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 01, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48457113141497,"sku":"9798232019693","price":28.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/GODwXiD7Y79798232019693.webp?v=1780077365","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/ukrainian-mythology-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
