The Center of Ethno-Cosmology "KRYŬJA" was initiated as an informal community for coordination of research into the Belarusian history, recreation of ancient Belarusian Weltanschauung, pre-Christian religion, and traditional values of autochthonous people of Belarus (within its ethnographical boundaries) and the Baltic region.

The term ethno-cosmology was chosen as a general definition for a specific research field integrating elements of different scientific disciplines relating to the ethno-cultural studies. These elements include the problems of ethnogenesis, ethnic history, ethnolinguistics, typology of cultures, archeology, social philosophy etc.

We consciously cultivate Tradition an interminable permanent notion existing within ourselves. Our purpose is to project traditional cultural values to our contemporaries and compatriots, scions of the people who had lived on this land before us.
