Sitting in a Tree

Representation of the Giant Oak, the axis mundi and the cosmogonical tree of Slavonic mythology (it can be a linden or apple tree with other Slavic branches). Home to the gods, it also provides shelter beneath for people and demons, with their problems, brief scuffles, and scurry.
