Vesna is the creator of the Slavic calendar, which tracks the old Slavic pagan holidays with Slavic folk magic symbols in a wheel pattern. For the calendar she uses Slavic symbols associated with the holidays, and or derived from traditional Slavic embroidery and other types of folk art. She offers trans-personal psychology courses using the Runes and or Slavic symbols as guides to self improvement. These days she’s focusing on Celtic tradition and spirituality, and has plans to eventually publish work on the subject.
