Sources of Fertility in ancient cult

Sources of fertility in totemic cults and world outlook of primitive farmers are viewed. In the result of comparison of the bear holiday of the people of the North with totemic feast of primitive hunters it is proved that elements of fertility related to sexual rudiment, are preserved and repeated in the future with exceptional accuracy. Comparison of the elements of the hunting world outlook with the farming one, affords ground for affirming that one is transformed into another since at the bottom of both is sexual intercourse as a necessary condition for multiplication of animals and harvest. Their steadiness and vital capacity make possible to find correspondences in cultural heritage of the Ukrainian people, namely traditional national customs and ceremonies.
