The article observes angels as figures important for the contemporary spiritual milieu. The article focuses on an Estonian spiritual Internet forum, The Nest of Angels, and demonstrates how angels help to share virtual social support and create/confirm spiritual meanings. The forum, explicitly opposing the consumerist side of new spirituality, has become popular and demonstrates the nature and various roles of contemporary spiritual angels. Angels constitute a salient example of a recent religious change, becoming the symbols of human-centeredness and this-worldliness of modern religiosity. By asking why angels and why in the internet environment, the study identifies two main modes in which the Nest and the presence of angels have found their place in people’s lives. Firstly, emotional support is shared, either by fellow users directly or by confirmations that angels will definitely help. Secondly, the Nest allows people to acquire knowledge both on spiritual and practical issues. As the Nest is dialogical, users can pose questions and find confirmations for their otherwise deviant experiences. Discussions in the Nest encourage everybody to interpret some situations and objects (like feathers) as signs from angels. This interpreting process might change people’s perceptions of the world by adding a layer of positive emotions. The study demonstrates how the angelic presence (or at least endeavour towards the presence) helps to establish and keep the tonality of benevolence, which functions as the cornerstone of this virtual space. The ideology of the Nest and the community interactions support “connected knowledge”: being empathic, intuitive, and individualistic. As a rule, commenters do not aim to challenge diverging views (common elsewhere in Internet communication), but attempt to understand and support each other. The trustful virtual relationships actualise the influence and the authority of people similar to users themselves, and increase distrust towards traditional authorities, especially those that do not accept people’s free choice and subjectivism. Therefore, although quite opposite to a feminist empowerment ideology, new spirituality and angels support a subjective feeling of self-confidence that is framed with ‘feminine’ softness. In addition to active moderation and the strongly perceived normativity of keeping the place “high-vibrational”, the angels themselves are guardians and guarantors of this intimacy, so knowledge and emotional support can be shared. The angels’ divine nature supports people directly, but more importantly, makes them speak in a language of goodness and guarantees that fellow users, although not real angels, are trying to be at least slightly angel-like. Angels as symbolic figures unite power and benevolence; they legitimise values and epistemological positions characteristic to the milieu of new spirituality.

This paper outlines the processes of Christianisation taking place in Polabia and Pomerania between the tenth and twelfth centuries. It looks at actions aimed at converting the communities and subsuming them under the structures of church organisation, closely related to the monarchy. These were shown on the basis of accounts that originated in milieus involved in the Slavonic missions: The Chronicle by Thietmar, the Bishop of Merseburg (d. 1018); The Chronicle of the Slavs by Helmold of Bosau (d. 1177); and the hagiography of St Otto of Bamberg (d. 1139), composed during two decades after his death and including St Otto’s report on his first Baltic mission from 1125.

The article attempts to demonstrate associations between works by Izrael Lejzerowicz and avant-garde artists working in Łódź during the interwar period. Lejzerowicz's painting is sometimes connected with a trend called Jewish Expressionism, although many of his works are closer to Symbolism or even to naturalism. However, this text concerns only those artist’s paintings and drawings that reveal his fascination with new directions in the art of the first half of the twentieth century: Expressionism, Cubism, Futurism and even Constructivism.

Artykuł stanowi próbę wykazania związków pomiędzy twórczością Izraela Lejzerowicza i innych awangardowych artystów działających w Łodzi w okresie międzywojennym. Malarstwo Lejzerowicza łączy się niekiedy z nurtem tzw. żydowskiego ekspresjonizmu, choć wiele z jego prac bliższych jest symbolizmowi czy wręcz naturalizmowi. Niniejszy tekst dotyczy jednak wyłącznie tych obrazów i rysunków artysty, w których ujawniają się jego fascynacje nowymi kierunkami w sztuce I połowy 20 wieku – wspomnianym już ekspresjonizmem, kubizmem, futuryzmem a nawet konstruktywizmem.

Imagined (im)mortality in the artifacts of the syncretic Constantinian era (based on the novel Zlatno doba by Silvana Hadži-Đokić) An example of a Serbian contemporary novel dedicated to the topic of death is Zlatno doba by Silvana Hadži-Đokić. Although the book can be considered solely as based on Christian metaphysics and faith in wonders, it also contains critically oriented observations, which are rooted in a deep knowledge and understanding of history, philosophy and art of late antiquity and early Christianity. As a result, not all of its claims and interpretations are in line with the Church’s religious beliefs. The writer presents a complex picture of Emperor Constantine and his mother, Empress Helena, the protagonist, whose figure, through the concept of mortal life, connects temporarily distant romanesque plans and ambiences. The story consists of historical passages, written from different points of view, taking into account contradictory facts and assumptions concerning the controversial life of Constantine, as well as his intellectual and material heritage.

(Be)smrtnost zamišljena u artefaktima sinkretske Konstantinove ere (na osnovi romana Zlatno doba Silvane Hadži-Đokić) Jedan od primera srpskog savremenog romana posvećenog temi smrti jeste Zlatno doba Silvane Hadži-Đokić. Mada možemo knjigu Hadži Đokić smatrati pre svega prozom čija je okosnica hrišćanska metafizika i vera u čudesa, u njenim mozaičnim tokovima nalaze se i kritički usmerena zapažanja, koja imaju izvore u poznavanju istorije, filozofije i umetnosti kasne antike i ranog hrišćanstva. Dakle, nisu sve tvrdnje i interpretacije u skladu sa crkvenom veronaukom. Spisateljica predstavlja složenu sliku cara Konstantina i njegove majke, carice Jelene, protagonistkinje, čiji lik, putem koncepcije posmrtnog žitija, povezuje vremenski udaljene romaneskne planove i ambijente. Fabularno tkivo čine istorijski odlomci, pisani sa različitih tačaka gledišta, uzimajući u obrzir mnoštvo suprostavljenih činjenica te pretpostavki vezanih za kontroverzan život Konstantina, a takođe njegovo intelektualno i materijalno nasleđe.
