This Book of Kin is crafted in a Kin's Settlement "Sunny Meadow" by Eugin and Nadezhda Shtern from 400-year-old Siberian cedar and designed as a binder to hold standard plastic sleeves or specially designed three-hole paper pages. The front cover features a removable metal plate that can be engraved with your family name. On the back cover, you’ll find Anastasia’s words about the Book of Kin:

“Just few days will go by, and millions of fathers and mothers in many a land will be writing the Book of Kin, filling in its pages with their own hand. There will be a vast multitude of them - these Books of Kin. And all of them will contain the truths which begin in the heart, for their children. There will be no room in these books for artifice or guise. Before them all the lies of history will fall.”

A Kin’s Domain is more than land—it is a sacred hearth where souls of a family members are reborn. The Book of Kin serves as a guardian of ancestral memory, a vessel that keeps our roots alive, guiding us back to who we truly are, and guarding us against the fog of forgotten truths and rewritten histories.

The Book of Kin is the main book of your family, where each page is lovingly devoted to the memory of those who came before you. Their names, their faces, their stories—woven together, they form your living genealogy. Through these pages, your bloodline breathes and speaks.

At the very beginning of this book, a Genealogical Tree should be placed. Whether drawn with delicate artistry or marked in simple lines, it holds your lineage. Many take the journey of tracing this tree as far back as possible—often to the seventh generation—sometimes with the help of historians or genealogists, especially when the roots stretch across distant lands.

Some seek even deeper knowledge, turning to the silent language of genes. A DNA test can whisper truths long buried—affirming cherished family legends, or gently correcting them. These revelations, too, belong in the Book of Kin.

This sacred book is also a keeper of time. A calendar of remembrance should live within it, marking not only birthdays and anniversaries, but also historical moments—each one recorded alongside its personal ripple through your family’s story. No history book can match this truth; only your kin’s own memory can preserve history unshaped by outside hands.

The Book of Kin is also a celebration. Let it hold your clan’s emblems, your hymns, your family’s flag, or symbols born from your imagination. And perhaps most importantly, let it carry your message to the future—a letter to the children of your children’s children, who will one day open this book and feel your love reach across the ages.

Anastasia once said: “Even if there are not yet any domains to bloom in the spring, thoughts about them are already alive in many human hearts. They need to start writing a book precisely about their thoughts, for their children.”

And so, the Book of Kin may be the gentlest, yet most powerful gift you leave behind. You can create a domain of memory, meaning, and love through it.

CEDAR THE HEALER

The Siberian 'Cedar' (also known in the West as the Siberian pine) is one of the most beautiful and majestic trees on the Earth. Ever since the very earliest times it has been considered a life-giving, healing tree. Cedar wood excretes phytoncids, which destroy disease-inducing micro-organisms and serve to purify the air with healing and healthful properties. In the Old Testament (Leviticus 14: 4) God teaches how to heal people and even disinfect dwellings with the help of� the Cedar.

Scientists note that Cedar-panelled rooms are practically bacteria-free, down to 200-300 bacterial cells per cubic metre. It should be pointed out that according to medical standards, even in operating rooms a level of 500-1000 non-pathogenic microbes per cubic metre is permitted.

Cedar walls emit positive energy. In Cedar houses the air is always clean.

Siberian Cedar timber has a beautiful composition, with a lovely rosy colour. The noble colour of this sacred tree delights one's eyes and cheers one's mood year after year. Cedar timber is resilient against decay, and is hardly ever subject to canker-worm.

The cedar has a special spirit and influence. It eliminates tension, increases bodily immunity, and facilitates rapid health recovery after a difficult disease or operation.

The Siberian Cedar is the beauty and national pride of Russia.

Residents of Siberia use Cedar wood in their everyday lives. Carpenters lay down Cedar floorboards in peasant huts, which are both beautiful to look at and warm to the touch. The Cedar's resinous wood wards off all sorts of bugs, and thus has been used from the very earliest times to make furniture, including trunks, wardrobes, cupboards and dressing tables. Cedar furniture is never troubled by moths, but even when dresser drawers or trunks were made of other kinds of wood, they would invariably place cedar cones in them. Just like the wood, Cedar cones ward off bugs with their scent.

Peasants in certain regions believed the Cedar wood killed harmful microbes. And so they preferred to make the bottom and lid of birch-bark cylinders out of Cedar. In Western Europe cedar wood was used in the manufacture of milk jugs. The craftsmen claimed that milk kept in such a jug would last a long time before spoiling and would take on a pleasant flavour.

All products made from Cedar possess a powerful beneficial energy.
