Pleiades in Slavic mythology.
In folk astronomy, the “upper” world was similar to the “earthly” world, like a mirror reflection, “The sky was a kind of mirror and was reflected in the life of the people: “Woz rolls across the sky, Stozhary blazes in the sky, a bird with chickens roams the sky, walks along the sky A girl with a yoke, they go along the Chumatsky Way stretched across the sky for salt ... "
The Pleiades is a star cluster in the constellation Taurus, located on its back or on its neck, it is clearly visible from the Earth with the naked eye, therefore it was important for the Slavs, it is clearly visible from March to October, which allowed the Pleiades to serve as a kind of temporary reference point (marker ) to start and finish agricultural work.
