The Slavic Wheel of Sun and Shadow: Seasons of Death and Rebirth 

The Slavic Wheel of Sun and Shadow, by Perun Mountain & Sviatoslav Gromov, examines the Slavic pagan cycle of the year through the changing seasons, solar festivals, and rites tied to death and renewal. Drawing from folk tradition, archaeology, embroidery patterns, songs, and Rodnover practice, it follows the movement from Korochun and the winter darkness to Yarilo’s return, Kupala’s fires, the autumn harvest, and the season of the ancestors. The book presents the old calendar not as myth or metaphor, but as a structure that shaped survival, labor, and the relationship between the living, the dead, and the land itself.
