Did the doctrine of stars and planets exist in the Russian Orthodox tradition? Of course, it existed, the author of this book answers, offering the reader a detailed story about ancient astrology and ancient Russian wisdom: this is what our ancestors called sacred philosophy, which included knowledge about the heavenly bodies. The book also tells how the Slavs predicted the future - both of a specific person and of entire nations. The appendix publishes the “Songs of Alkonost” - a set of secret legends that are associated with the name of the hero Svyatogor: it is he who is recognized in Vedoglory as the creator of the Star Vesher Book and the very first star map.
