Long time ago the Slavs knew that the world is governed by some law providing for its periodicity: a day is followed by night, the death - by birth and so on. This means, figuratively speaking, that the world is a plexus of two base principles - the order and the chaos. Wonderful Russian fairytales have brought to us the features of ancient culture which the modern one is built upon. Ancient Slavs did not see the fate as unavoidable future. A man is free to choose between following ethical principles and ignoring them. And he who has been breaking this law all his life will hardly find happiness and his life will likely turn to a wreck no matter how rich and meaningful it might have looked sidewise.

Slavs’ religious centers, with temples, oracles, and a hierarchy of priests, were created under the influence of foreign religion, particularly Scandinavian. With the coming of Christianity, the great divinities of the Slavs vanished in name, but many elements survived in popular tradition, and pagan rites became an integral part of the Christian Slavs' religious ceremonies.
One of the early signs of earrings worn by men are from Persepolis in ancient Persia, the carved images of the soldiers from various parts of the Persian Empire which are displayed on some of the surviving walls of the palace showing the soldiers wearing an ear ring. Another equally early evidence of earring wearing took place in the Bible record of Exodus written by Moses in the wilderness; the second book of the Bible. In Exodus 32:1-4 Moses is still up in the mountain, so the complaining Israelites demand that Aaron make a god for them. So he tells them to bring their sons and daughters earrings to him so that he may comply with their demand.
The supreme god of the East and South Slavs was Perun, god of lightning and thunder. Because he controlled the elements of nature, his aid and protection were strongly evoked at seed time and harvest. Two important gods of Slavic religion were Byelobog (the White God) and Chernobog (the Black God), who represented the opposing forces of good and evil, reflected the Slavic belief in the dualistic nature of the universe. Various myths and ritualistic data, however, reveal the cults of many other gods and lesser divinities, including the worship of earth goddesses.
A pendant, or lavalier, is a type of jewelry, consisting of a pendant suspended from a necklace. Pendants are also called lavaliers. A lavalier is named for the type of pendant popularized by the Duchesse de la Vallière, a mistress of King Louis XIV of France. Within the fashion world, the name was eventually shortened to "lavalier" The lavalier can be recognized most for its drop that usually consists of a stone and or a chandelier type of drop which is attached to the chain and not attached by a bale.
There is only fragmentary information about the myths and legends of the pagan Slavs, and it is not possible to reconstruct the whole Slavic pantheon. Nevertheless, there were certain common beliefs among most pre-Christian Slavs. By means of tattoos a man tries to stand out of his common environment and express himself. It is generally thought that the earliest Slavic religious beliefs were based on the principle that the whole natural world is inhabited and directed by spirits or mysterious forces. Later the spiritual beliefs became less rustic, and the vague spirits of nature were anthropomorphized into divinities with special powers and functions.
A finger ring is a circular band worn as a type of ornamental jewellery around a finger. Other types of metal bands worn as ornaments are also called rings, such as arm rings and neck rings. Rings are worn by both men and women and can be of any quality. Rings can be made of metal, plastic, wood, bone, glass, gemstone and other materials. They may be set with a "stone" of some sort, which is often a precious or semi-precious gemstone such as ruby, sapphire or emerald, but can also be of almost any material.
