The book, which you can buy in a set with a calendar for 2023 – with the same content, spreads over 110 pages and shows us a former view of the world of spirituality, gods and ritual symbolism during the time, especially in the first millennium BC and a little later, when the ancient Romans already assimilated many indigenous, native deities into their pantheon in the area of our country and abroad. The gods were given other names and sometimes adjectives of local origin. Thus, in the old and renamed deities, we look for their characteristics, roles, and symbolism, which reflects even in later centuries of the development of our cultural heritage.
Certainly, parts and fragments of these several thousand-year-old traditions have survived to this day in the spiritual practices and consciousness of our area. Certain deities, rituals related to them, and their role in people’s daily lives are sometimes more clear, while at other times there are more questions than answers, leading to further research.
A few pages are devoted to each deity, and in the illustration they are also shown with their sacred plant. In some places the connections are clear, even attested, and in some places, according to a logical judgment and connection with places of worship, the plant, with its healing and magical properties, is shown with a certain goddess or god.
The book is A5 in size. It contains original illustrations of Iron Age deities by the long-time designer and manager of the Svarunica online store: Irena Petrič.
A few pages are devoted to each god or goddess, a page or two to a sacred plant. At the end, a comprehensive table of our traditional, ancient holidays is added on four pages, which in a modified form – but including the original elements and symbolism – we still celebrate today. In the table you can find descriptions or the background of the holiday and how the tradition has still been preserved through the Christian faith.
For now, the book is only published in digital format, as an e-book.
