Journey Home: Exploring Bulgarian Folklore Through My Eyes
It’s almost time for our Kickstarter campaign to start. Tuesday, April 16 is launch day for our special edition of our book Light Love Rituals.
This is a special project. Light Love Rituals is more than a book—it’s a piece of my soul, a way to share my upbringing, my experiences, and my love for the rich tapestry of Bulgarian folklore. I believe that each person needs to know their roots and know their identity and culture; otherwise, we are like a tree without roots.
Growing up surrounded by these mysterious traditions, I’ve always felt a deep connection to the land and its stories. In the book I embedded not only information gained from research, but also things I learned and experienced during my life in Bulgaria. I want to keep these memories, cherish them, and pass them not only to my children but to future generations who are born abroad. And through this book, I invite you to experience that connection with me. Discover an ancient culture rich with secrets and legends. Learn more about Bulgarian food and culture. They are colorful and spicy like the souls of the Bulgarian people.
Join me as we journey through the familiar streets and sounds of my childhood, guided by the incredible artistry of the renowned Keazim Issinov. The book is dedicated to his remarkable art. I was fortune to cross paths with him, and I think this wasn’t a coincidence. We both share a common love for Bulgarian folklore. In his art, he captures the souls of the people, the beauty of the rituals. They are filled with light and love, a harmony of light and love.
Come with me on a journey to the place I call home, the heart of Bulgaria, where every cobblestone holds a story, and every whisper of the wind carries the echo of legends and tales, and where mystical rituals, unknown to the world, weave through the fabric of everyday life. Together, we’ll uncover the beauty of Bulgarian culture, one page and one brushstroke at a time.
Experience the Magic of Home.
Welcome to the picturesque Bulgarian village, where cozy houses line cobblestone streets, nestled closely together with clay roofs gleaming under the sun. As you wander through our charming streets, you'll be serenaded by the songs of birds, aroma from fresh baked bread and if you lucky you may be able to witness Kukeri and hear the bells or a horo dance at the center of the village.
The book will take you on a folklore journey to Bulgaria from the comfort of your room. Follow our Kickstarter campaign for an enchanting experience unlike any other.
