Theos-Talk Archives (October 2007 Message tt00063)

Hi John,

Actually I am living in Slovenia, bordering to Austria and Italy in 
Central Europe, so most probably Konstantin, who lives in Moscow, 
will be able to tell you more about this movement. 

I just read Vladimir Megre's first two books and found his story very 
sincere and opening very interesting and optimistic perspectives. You 
will find more about his works on these two web-sites:
http://www.vladimirmegre.com/
http://www.ringingcedars.com/books.htm 

In my view the movement is an appeal to revive old but ever actual 
values and principles, genuine relationship with the Nature within 
and without and to establish more fair economy. 
In former socialist countries many people are very disappointed with 
the changes in the society and economic system and are in search for 
more satisfying alternatives. 

In our country, for instance, many have retained quite pristine touch 
with the environment, spending free time in nature, gathering various 
fruits and plants, medicinal herbs, mushrooms, or cultivating small 
pieces of land. And many are discovering in this area also business 
opportunities.

In regard to Cedar I cannot say anything as this tree doesn't grow in 
our country, so we don't have any healing tradition connected with 
it. Our natural panacea is a small plant with an interesting name: 
mother's soul. 
But we do have a highland plateau where grows a special kind of pine-
tree which gives resonant wood for the production of musical 
instruments, but I never heard if there is any other tradition 
connected with these trees. Our shamanic tradition went extinct in 
the middle of last century because of industralization and two WW.

Thanks and best regards,
Anton

a question as you are in Russia and informed. In my surfing I came 
upon Vladimir Megre and his Books about the Siberian Shaman, 
Anastasia the Shaman's daughter, and the Ringing Cedars of Siberia. I 
read he is very popular  in Russia with over 10 million of his books 
sold. Are you familiar with his Books and the content? What do you 
have as your opinion if you have read his books. I see online that he 
has created a worldwide Foundation and Network. We have Cedar 
Colony's in our forests also and for decades I have had Cedar wood in 
my home. I value your informed opinion.
