The novel, set in a remote Polish countryside, becomes a space where cosmic motifs, folklore elements and recurring archetypes contribute to a mythopoetic reading. The prophetic and spiritual insights gathered by the protagonist challenge the anthropocentric ways of life that are normal in the mythic world. The non-human world of animals assumes agency to create a just world and establish the sacredness of nature. Astrology serves as a bridge between the earthly and the celestial, facilitating a modern form of divination. An eco-mythological lens offers a perspective on the staging of human violence and the enactment of cosmic justice as a means to counter violence. The voice of animism and ecofeminism enhances the social and symbolic meaning of the text. Ultimately, this paper identifies a reenacted myth for the Anthropocene, offering an eco-narrative that reimagines the necessity of restoring the sanctity and order of the natural world.
