SACRED BEVERAGE OF ANCIENT UKRAINIANS

"Veles' book", 7g (Velesova knyha)
The existence of the human race is closely bound to using different treasures of the green world. In fact, all human activity on earth touches the kingdom of green organisms. The earth's flora is still an important element of human existence on planet. And in significant measure, loss of this knowledge resulted in the loss of an important part of great earth evolution chain.

Not in vain, many scientists, writers and teachers saw the way of human evolution on the path of contemplation of the plants' world. I remember the character of immortal handsome fellow from novel by Oles' Berdnyk "Firelaugh" - Phyto-Homo or Flower-Man. In his own perspicacious vision, the well-known Ukrainian writer found the unusual key to human evolution: to penetrate into the very heart of phytogenesis, consonance of human and plant conciseness.

But meanwhile such observations are perceived on the level of teenagers' fantasy. Oles' Berdnyk is often considered as talented author only, not a scientist, although many of his fantastic visions have taken place. We will talk about his new forecast later. But it is hard to ascribe the lack of scientific analysis to another apologist of plant world - to Terence McKenna. His works, translated into many prevalent languages, are considered in context of clinical case.

Although T. McKenna found a simple and clear explanation of human nature: "All we eat - we are". Unfortunately, due to his open support of psychedelic study, broad sections of the public, scared by total prohibition of such substance, turned away from his person. Substance, that nature produces by itself. T. McKenna is still marginal author, though there is a certain scientific circle of the intellectual elite that welcomes him. T. McKenna still maintains a nature legality, in spite of ridicule of it.

We are trying to return to the past and to look at world that has not yet known prohibition of growing some kind of plants. Ancient sacred scripts of Indo - European peoples are called the Vedas. Word veda translated from Sanskrit as knowledge. This is the most ancient sample of Indian literature. It contains four books of religion anthems, songs, formulas of conjuration, ceremonial order and myths. Ukraine is considered as the most probable home of the Aryans - the first white people on the Earth. Therefore, the Vedas bring us information on our ancestors and their way of life.

The most widely known part of it is the Rigveda - 120 collected anthems to soma: to herb and God. The Ninth Mandala of the Rigveda is completely inspired anthems that sing the praises of this mysterious beverage of our ancestors:

Oh pure soma,
your heavenly flows are steeds, fast as thoughts,
- fill with milk in vessel;
rishas - masters of sacrifice, which clean you,
oh sweetened by them soma,
fill your persistent flows inside of vessel.


(our translat.)

It is clear that beverage that was the personification both of religious cult and natural ecstasy can't be forgotten quickly. It took two thousand years of harsh monotheism for Aryans to have forgotten their primary nature. But our Slavic ancestors come "from Pendeb (Punjab) to blue sky so far" (Veles' book, 7e) and bring us the message about secret and mysterious cult of plants and beverage, produced from these plants.

In mythic poetic form, but, maybe in fact, keeping real names and events, they tell:

Kvasur was courageous and strong man, who understood deities.
And so Lado came to him
And said him to fill up honey with water
And infuse it in the sun that is to make sura.
And when it ferments, then turn into surytsia.
And drink this to the glory of deities.
And it was the highest award,
That man was ever marked.


(Veles' book, 22)

Sura (surytsia) cult is very similar to soma cult in the Vedas and haoma in the Avesta. Loss of knowledge of these beverages is bound up with both way of life and flora of the earth changes. But during the past ten years, many ways were found to restore this beverage. Read a series of articles about the research and discoveries on this path.
