Slavic Tales & Myths Part 2
I am currently working on Part 2 of the Slavic Tales and Myths. For this book I decided to use folklore and mythology stories that were written within the last few centuries, and already the difference in style and characters is very noticeable. The characters are not as honorable and are very "interested" in materialism. It clearly shows the great influence that Religion (after Christening of Rus') and Materialism had on the Slavic culture and Slavic faith. I will update this thread as soon as I have more on this great volume of The Slavic Way series.

The Slavic Way Vol. 3 - Songs of Bird Gamayun
I find it very interesting, that while I consider "Songs of Bird Gamayun" to be one of the most interesting tales ever written; it is least popular among English speakers. Although a person may have to read it several times in order to understand the hidden information in it.

The Slavic Way Vol. 6
I am about 90% complete with book 6 of The Slavic Way series. The book is going great. I'm really excited about this one. It will feature many Slavic stories that are not found anywhere else.

Hit a mother load!
I found several websites last night, that feature pre-revolution books of the Russian Empire. Go as far back as the 16th century. Looks like it will take me a few weeks to download and maybe a few years to read them all.
At this time I can come to only one conclusion: People were smarter and more educated before Bolsheviks! I am very sad that so much of Slavic heritage has been forbidden and destroyed. One pre-revolution text book (that I began to read) contains more valuable information than todays students learn in several years.

The Slavic Way Vol. 5
I am currently working on the 5th book of The Slavic Way series, which will be all about Slavic symbols and their meaning. Slavic symbolism has been put through dirt with Bolsheviks coming to power and with A. Hitler using a Slavic symbol as a mean to achieve his own goals. This book will shine some light onto what Slavic symbols are, what they mean and how they are to be used.
