World Tree and the Tree of Life among Old Slavs

World Tree, the tree of life – in Slavic mythology this plant represents the world axis, the center of the world and the incarnation of the universe as a whole. Crown of the world tree reaching the sky, roots dwelling in the underworld. World tree is typical for Russian, Belorussian, Ukrainian, Polish, Slovak, Czech, Slovenian, Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian, Macedonian and Bulgarian national folk mystery tales. This image combines different – vertical (a tree from the ground to the heavens) and horizontal (road) – the coordinates of the world. The Belarusian folklore image of the world tree is directly related to the wedding ceremony: “the bride should not put her horses at the “unhappy tree”, but should put it where the bees bring honey that in turns flows down to the roots.”

Wretched Tooth For A Better Tomorrow

To my dear followers, I, Russianslovak, am writing to you today because we are facing a crucial decision. Too long have we been ignored by those at the top. Too long have we been led astray by incompetent leaders. We need a change, and there’s only one candidate who can bring that change. I’m writing to you about Wretched Tooth. The choice, to me, is easy. A vote for Mop is a vote for elitism. A vote for instability and dishonesty. Do the right thing. Vote for Wretched Tooth. Yours, Russianslovak #IStandWithWretched Tooth
