This research article thoroughly analyzes Dara Korniy’s use of pre-Christian mythology in the novel “Mavka’s Diary”, namely the functioning of images of pre-Christian Ukrainian mythology. The importance of knowing the phenomenon of paganism for modern man in the holistic core of national culture is specified, since it is in the pantheon of gods, rites of worship and sacrifice, peculiarities of pre-Christian life the spiritual foundations of personality are combined and embodied. The experience of ritual activity related to the work and family life of the people becomes the basis of the plots in this novel and produces the discovery of new meanings in the literary text. Considerable attention in the article is paid to the image system, which is built on a dual principle; each character embodies a certain mythological creature and is a representative of the XXI century society. The characters of the novel are portrayed in a postmodern way, as they are ambivalent in nature and have symbolic features.
