Volhv Veleslav (Cherkasov Ilya Gennadievich; b. 1973) — a specialist in traditional Slavic culture, mystic, writer, poet, traveler, philosopher, who was the first to suggest using the term «Rodnovery» to the pre-Christian beliefs of the Slavs, one of the key figures in the Russian national and spiritual revival.
Founder and permanent leader of the Russian-Slavic Rodnovery Community «Rodolyubie» (since 1998), the ideological inspirer and one of the co-founders of the Commonwealth of Slavic Rodnovery Communities «Velesov Krug» (The Veles Circle, since 1999). Practicing clergyman of the Slavic (Rodnovery) tradition. Author of several dozen books on history, culture, and ancient beliefs of the Slavs and Russia. Participant in several television programs, historical, archaeological, and religious debates, and has made several reports at the Russian Geographical Society.
From an early age, he was fond of history, studied Russian folk tales and epics, enthusiastically listened to the stories of old people about «the old times» and collected countryside folklore — songs, tales, spells, stories, and legends. Later he studied the works of various spiritual teachers of the East and West, comprehended the essence of their teachings,
communicated with their followers. But he did not adhere to any of these movements, believing that the truth is comprehended in the heart, and not in blindly following the subjective gaze of any religious leader.
Veleslav preferred the call of the heart — the revival of Slavic pre-Christian traditions, rituals, beliefs, and worldview, — to the career of a scientist-historian The sorcerer gives his knowledge and spiritual heritage of the Ancestors to people willingly and unobtrusively:
I don't call anyone to anything — I just share my own experience, my point of view. Which of these to follow and which to reject is your choice. The Path of the Native Faith is the Path to Spiritual Freedom, starting with the free choice of the person himself, this is the Path of unfolding the Lad (Cosmic Law and Calm) in Nature and his Heart, this is the Path without a path imposed by anyone — a country without beaten paths, where the experience of the Ancestors helps but does not replace the personal search for Truth.
Together with his beloved wife and veduniya (Slavic witch) Vitoslava, Veleslav Cherkasov organizes educational lectures and webinars on the topic of traditional Slavic culture; as a priest, he conducts calendar holidays and ceremonies — the glorification of the Native Gods and Ancestors, naming, weddings, funerals, and other rites... And, of course, he writes new books.
Vitoslava Cherkasova — a veduniya, priestess of the Veles cult, specialist in traditional Slavic culture and witchcraft, herbalist by heritage, candle magic wizard, as well as a certified theta-healer, NLP-practitioner, tarologist, author of courses on traditional healing, witchcraft practices, candle magic, and wax casts, etc.
Throughout life, — first from her herbalist grandmother, then from teachers, — bit by bit she adopted secret knowledge, absorbed the ancient wisdom of the Ancestors and their traditions, learned to see the interconnections of the visible and invisible in Nature, studied psychology and modern methods of self-improvement and personal growth.
Vitoslava brings her best practices and knowledge to the world, helping people to see the inner causes of their problems (limiting programs, negative beliefs, etc.), and only then — to choose the right tool to solve them (of which there are plenty in her arsenal). As Vitoslava says:
It's never too late, having rethought your past, to make your present and future happiness. Every negative state has underlying causes that can be discovered, recognized, and corrected. I believe and know that the integration of the experience of our Ancestors into the present is the key to achieving the goals and solving the problems of our time.
Also, together with her beloved husband, the sorcerer Veleslav Cherkasov, Vitoslava conducts traditional Slavic holidays and rituals: purifications, naming, weddings, funerals, and other rites ...
