Veles. God of cattle, shepherding, wealth, clouds, tricks, books, preservation, life, will, trade, witchcraft, fortune telling, conductor of dead souls. God of worldly wisdom and all worldly. HAIR (Veles, Month) - one of the most ancient East Slavic gods, the cloud-cover god who covers the sky with rain clouds, or, metaphorically speaking, covers it with a cloud rune, expels cloud herds to heavenly pastures. Initially, one of the epithets of the pernicator Perun (thunderous Tour); subsequently, with the oblivion of its fundamental significance, it was isolated and taken for the proper name of a separate deity. As the “scottiago of God” (Laurentian Chronicle) Volos was in charge of the heavenly, mythical herds, was their sovereign and shepherd, but then, with the loss of the people’s conscious attitude to his old ideas, he was attributed the patronage and protection of ordinary, earthly herds. For the sake of the dependence of the earth's crops on heavenly milk shed by herds of rain clouds, Volos, along with herding character, has been given the significance of a god who helps the labor of the farmer. It was customary to leave a “field of wheat ears on a beard” in a compressed field. Grasses, flowers, bushes, trees were called "the hair of the earth." Since ancient times, livestock was considered the main wealth of the tribe, family. Therefore, the bestial god Veles was also the god of wealth. The root "volo" and "vlo" has become an integral part of the word "get fit" (own). The concept of “magi” is also associated with the cult of Veles, since the root of this word also comes from “hairy”, “hairy”. Magi in the performance of ritual dances, spells, rituals in ancient times dressed in the skin (dlaku) of a bear or other animal.
