Abstract

The author reconstructs the mutually connected system of three divinities: heavenlv, chthonic and feminine. The right relation among them was condition for natural balance. Slavs strengthened this balance with repeating presentation of holy numbers (as sun ecliptics) and relations (1 ; V 2). According to determined metrics, the relation among three cult towns in the region was defined. Arrangement of burial grounds, settlements and fields was in close connection with them - the author illustrates this statement with topographic examples from Austria, Macedonia, Russia and Slovenia. The elementary module at space planning of burial places was defined to be two double paces.
