La construcción de imágenes divinas tuvo un punto de partida importante en los seres que rodearon al hombre en el principio de los tiempos. De todos ellos, los animales, con atributos imposibles de rivalizar, ofrecieron la posibilidad de construir las formas que soñaron nuestros antepasados. Nadie podía volar como el cóndor, desplazarse y atacar con la elegancia de un puma o aparecer súbitamente como la serpiente. Son estos y otros miembros de la fauna andina los que encendieron la imaginación del misterioso redactor del Manuscrito de Huarochirí. Este documento, "pequeña biblia regional" como lo llamó Arguedas, sigue siendo el único texto sagrado, conservado en quechua, que relata la saga de los dioses, animales y los hombres antes de la llegada de los europeos. Que así sea, no debe sorprendernos, otros libros sacros como Gilgamesch, el Génesis o el Popol Vuh, glorificaron también a la fauna que poblaba los paisajes conocidos. De la misma forma, la construcción de la divinidad sumaba atributos observados en la naturaleza, para encontrar en su totalidad la imagen del dios que se buscaba. Este libro recoge el panteón andino que acompañó las aventuras de la humanidad en el amanecer de la vida, que transcurrió entre la montaña de Pariacaca y las aguas que bordean el santuario de Pachacamac.

Focusing on Slovenian mythology the book contains a review of Slovenian mythological, historical, and narrative material. Over 150 supernatural beings are presented, both lexically and according to the role that they have in Slovenian folklore. They are classified by type, characteristic, features, and by the message conveyed in their motifs and contents. The material has been analysed in the context of European and some non-European mythological concepts, and the author deals with theory and interpretations as well as the conclusions of domestic and foreign researchers. The book forms new starting points and a classification of supernatural beings within a frame of a number of sources, some of which have been published for the first time in this book.
