Symbol of a sultry summer

Belarussian symbol of the corn dolly has its roots in paganism: a traditional symbol of fertility that was embroidered on the traditional Belarussian handkerchiefs, the rushniki.

The corn dolly, or zhatnaya baba, is a representation of the harvest and the cycle of life. It is believed to have originated from the ancient Slavic culture, where it was used as a folkloric symbol of abundance and prosperity. The figure is typically made of straw, which symbolizes the bountiful harvest, and is dressed in colorful fabrics to represent the richness of the earth.

In Belarussian culture, the corn dolly is often found on the traditional handkerchief, known as the rushnik. The rushnik was an essential part of Belarussian life, used for various occasions, including weddings, baptisms, and holidays. The dolly was often embroidered onto the rushnik, with the intention of bringing good luck and fortune to the home.

Who shall guide you out of the forest when you are the forest itself?

In the whispers of leaves and the shadows of trees, the answer lingers, entwined with the essence of existence. To unravel this enigma is to dance with the mysteries of being, where the boundaries blur and the soul finds solace in the depths of its own arboreal reflection

Raven's Eye and the Legend of the Raven

Under the canopy of fir forests, among the wild grasses, while gathering mushrooms or berries, one may encounter a relative of lilies - a low-growing plant with a fairly large berry at the top of its stem, very similar to a blueberry. Do not pick it and do not put it in your basket with the berries - it is poisonous!

But do not hurry to forget this plant forever. There exists a beautiful legend about it.

"Even the tiniest sometimes must rise to defend their homestead. This little sparrow did not choose his fate, yet he was born to be the Chosen, great deeds await him!"

The Spotted Hemlock is a highly poisonous plant. It received its name due to small red spots on the stem. According to legend, the Greek philosopher Socrates drank a cup of hemlock infusion during his execution

According to Belarusian beliefs, the devil is born from a person's spittle if they spit on the ground and fail to step on it.

Like all evil spirits, demons (devils) adore dark impenetrable swamps, dense forests, remote thickets, and lakes.

According to some beliefs, during autumn and winter, demons sit in the hay that was mowed on Ivan's Day.

As it is known, demons are very afraid of thunder and lightning, so they hide behind a person's back when they hear them.

По белорусским поверьям черт рождается из плевка человека, если тот плюнул на землю и не растер ногой.

Как и всякая нечисть, черти обожают темные непроходимые болота, дремучие леса, глухие чащи и озера.

По некоторым поверьям в течение осени и зимы черти сидят в сене, которое было скошено в Иванов день.

Как известно, черти очень боятся грома и молний, и поэтому прячутся у человека за спиной, когда слышать это
