Song of the Stag

The stag is a universally recognised, archaic cultural-historical symbol, whose annually renewed antlers represent eternal return. The stag, standing by the gate to a golden path, beckons us to follow him into our own spirit world. He is the demon, the shaman, the wizard, the fairy, the King of the Dead, able to call any hunter into another world, a new world.
