Abstract
Since ancient times, objects of the celestial space have served as guiding stars, revered by gatherers, hunters and reindeer herders as their totemic ancestors and patrons. in this article, the cosmological image of the world, which has developed over many centuries, is examined through the prism of the evolution of consciousness, and can be traced back to the emergence of a modern man. in doing so, the authors relied on the holistic methodology of G.D. Gachev, being based on the idea of “ cosmo-Psycho-logos”, which unites//incorporate the national image of nature, mental makeup and mentality with the inherited and historically established modus of being of the people. Particular attention is given to the cosmonyms of the milky Way, as one of the key objects of the national cosmological image of the world, through which the aesthetic and sacred attitude to the celestial bodies are expressed. the version proposed in the article is based on the ideas that have survived to this day and are reflected in legends, fairy tales, tokens, beliefs and customs of the Russian people.
