[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 3049600, member: 2844"]There were no ships like that in Anglo Saxon times.;) In the early times of Christianity in the Roman empire, Roman Christians referred to the old polytheistic religions as Paganism. But I think ulil may have meant Neo-Paganism, a term for beliefs that are inspired by old pre-Christian European religions. There are countless different Neo-Pagan groups, based on different spiritual beliefs, also in Slavic countries. There is an important one in Bulgaria, can't remember the name, but it isn't relevant to your painting anyway.:) Anyhow, I think ulil referred to the old Slavic costumes, which are probably meant as an indication of the period the story is set in.[/QUOTE]
