Abstract

The article deals with the analysis of Russian and Romance and Germanic folk prognostic rules where birds perform their prognostic function. It is shown that in the prognostic rules an archetypic bird image gives start to the realization of an archetype of the unity and cyclic nature of the being, while the prognostic rules themselves translate nature-oriented stories-we-live-by to the man for the calendar year.
