Everyone has heard about the zodiac sign and the eastern horoscope. But few people know that in Russia they used a special horoscope of animals. In the Slavic horoscope, the unity of the human and animal worlds was clearly traced.
The Eastern Slavs compiled a horoscope of special animals characteristic of their area. These animals were considered totemic, they had a special attitude. At that time, there was a belief in the magical power of living beings.
With the advent of the Christian religion, the concept of the animal horoscope began to fade away. Interestingly, the horoscope cycle did not consist of 12 years, as in the Chinese, but of 16 years. If you are curious to know which animals were totemic and 2022 is the year of which animal according to the Slavic calendar, then read on. And to believe it or not is a personal choice of everyone.
Slavic calendar
The New Year in pagan pre-Christian times began with the holiday of Komoeditsa. This holiday was celebrated by the Slavs on the day of the vernal equinox. On this day, they cooked pancakes and said: "The first pancake is for coma (bears), the second for friends, the third for relatives, and the fourth for me."
The pancakes were given to the bear, who was considered the king of the forest, to appease him. Pancakes were baked as a symbol of the sun, invoking spring and warmth. Later, the New Year began to be celebrated on the day of the autumnal equinox - in September. The crop was harvested, so there were enough reasons for joy.
The totem horoscope of animals, or rather the yearbook or chronology, is a sixteen-year cycle with patron animals or totems. Every 16th year the Slavs considered it special, calling it great.
Interestingly, the day before consisted not of 24 hours, but of 16: 4 o'clock in the morning, 4 - day, 4 - evening, 4 - night. And there were 9 days in a week, of which 6 were working days and 3 were days off.
