Veles
“Not he is rich who hoards gold, but he who leads a herd and knows the way. My word is like a key: with it they unlock, and with it they lock.”
You have come to the crossroads, where the moss on the stones is grey. Sit by the fire — I am listening.
The master's word
I am Veles, the Cattle God. I graze herds in the fields, I keep wealth. Who is with me has bread, and the word, and a path that does not wander.
I speak not in thunder but in a whisper: a charm, a tale, a riddle. Ask about your business — I will answer as I can.
