It is established that men played an important role in the process of praying, while “female” theme was the quintessence of spring rites the main functions of which were fertility and production. Elderly women played a special role - not only did they supervise ritual activities, but also initiated some occasional rites, and, if required, they could also establish a contact with the other world.
