Gods of the Eastern Slavs. Pagan god of fire

When we say Lada, we think of the unfortunate Zhiguli.
Although Lada is the Goddess of love, beauty, family happiness, and the patroness of marriage. And also the keeper of the hearth, the wife of Svarog, the mother of Lelya and Dajbog... She belongs to the pantheon of light gods of Slavic paganism. Our ancestors worshiped them: the Drevlyans, Rus, Dregovichi, Polyans...

Beregini-Rozhanitsy- words that do not require explanation. This goddess is the keeper of the hearth, warmth, nurse, mother, patroness of newlyweds and children, the joy of the elderly.

In October, after all agricultural work was completed, the Slavs held weddings. There are three important milestones in a person's life: birth, wedding and death. If the first and last do not depend on us, then a wedding is a special ritual that links together two destinies, two lives - two families.

Wedding, light, holiness, Svarga - the concept of life, truth, connection. At the wedding they played harp, pipes, horns, tambourines, drums and others musical instruments. Songs were sung that immersed listeners in the old days. Relatives, hugging their shoulders, sang their ancestral songs and praised the young. Some jokingly measured their strength with new relatives, while others took the lead in merry undertakings. Then the buffoons got down to business - and then hang on! - everyone will get the worst of their antics.

Goodness and peace reigned in the ancient Slavic families. The Russians revered their ancestors, gods, and kept the traditions of deep antiquity.
Bereginya the woman in labor had assistants: brownies, courtyard servants, barn workers, banniks. Her symbol is a duck.

Veles, hair, volokh, sorcerer, sorcerer, volokhaty, elk, ox, forest, fox, goblin, oleshka, deer - all these words are associated with the forest. Veles' children - this is what the Russians call themselves in "The Tale of Igor's Campaign."

Christians called Veles the “cattle god,” but can Veles’s totem animals—a bear, a wolf, a sacred cow—be called cattle? No, peoples living in a natural tribal system considered animals equal to people. For example, in Rus' they love bears very much and consider them brothers. And the bear is Veles. Veles has many images, including in the form of animals.

The Russians learned a lot from animals, imitating them in their voice, movements, methods of attack and defense.

Veles is an inexhaustible source of knowledge; every animal in his forest is unique. But people have moved away from nature - hence all the troubles of modern civilization. It’s time to realize that only a return to naturalness, to healthy natural principles can save the soul and body from final destruction.

We live in a disfigured world, divided into religions, parties, classes, people are valued not by intelligence and strength, but by money, so humanity is withering away and not developing spiritually. For spirituality is in our roots, and nowhere else. Spirituality - knowledge (Vedas). Know Ra (faith), know Rod.
Veles is the keeper of hoary antiquity and the silent bones of ancestors. The last night of October is the day of remembrance of grandfathers (in the West - Halloween). On this day, the Rus saw off the spirits of nature and their relatives who had died during the year under the snow with bonfires and the music of bagpipes and pipes.

Dazhdbog, give, rain - words with the same root meaning “to share, to distribute.” Dazhdbog sent people not only rain, but also the sun, saturating the earth with light and warmth. Dazhdbog is the autumn sky with clouds, rain, thunderstorms, and sometimes hail.

September 22 is the autumn equinox, the holiday of Rodion and Rozhanitsa, the day of Dazhdbog and Mokosh. The entire harvest has been harvested and the final harvests are underway in the orchards and orchards. All residents of a village or city go out into nature, light a fire, roll a burning sun wheel up a mountain, dance in circles with songs, play pre-wedding and ritual games. Then they bring tables to the main street, put the best food on them and begin a general family feast. Neighbors and relatives try the food prepared by others, praise them, and all together glorify the Sun, the earth and Mother Rus'.

Dazhdbozhy (solar) grandchildren - that’s what the Rusichi called themselves. Symbolic signs of the sun (solar rosettes, solstice) were present everywhere among our ancestors - on clothes, dishes, and in home decoration.

Every Russian man is obliged to create a large family - a family, feed, raise, educate children and become Dazhdbog. This is his duty, glory, really. Behind each of us there are countless ancestors - our roots, and each must give life to descendant branches.

A man who does not have children is doomed to hunger, shame, and poverty in old age. The clan must be large and healthy - our ancestors a thousand years ago did not know vodka and smoking, and therefore gave birth to strong and healthy knights and women in labor.

Lada, harmony, love, affection - all this speaks of a tender relationship between husband and wife in a family union aimed at having children and prolonging the Slavic family. Lada is a little girl born in the spring with the first streams and snowdrops. Rooks, the first birds to fly home from warm countries, are the heralds of the birth of Lada. Along with Lada, flowers and young foliage appear. Birds begin to sing where Lada passes. The animals are also happy about the young goddess, who brings them food after a long hungry winter.

Lada's favorite birds - pigeons and swans - are compared in our minds with affection and fidelity. That's why girls sing calls to spring in the voices of birds. Every girl in Rus' is Lada.

Lada gains strength on Kupala, at this time she is caressed by the rays of Yarila, and a small month is born in her womb - a symbol of life. On June 22, the Slavs celebrate the summer solstice, huge bonfires are lit, a burning solar wheel is rolled into the water (meaning “bathing” the sun), round dances are held shouting: “Burn, burn clearly, so that it does not go out!” Everyone bathes, plays trickle and other love games, and runs after each other through the forest. Fornication, as Christians claim, did not actually occur on the holiday. Magi, old people, parents closely monitored the youth and, in case of violation of the laws of morality, expelled the offenders from the family - this was the most terrible punishment at that time, because in ancient times a person could not live alone, without relatives.

Love in Rus' was not a joy, but served for procreation and the conception of new children. The birth of children is the meaning of pairing not only people, but also animals and birds. Only married couples At the end of the holiday, they went into the forests, under the shade of warm fogs, where they basked and made love until dawn, lighting numerous bonfires of love throughout Russia, turning the world into a huge burning fiery fern flower, a flower of truth, happiness, naturalness and eternity.

The arrival of Lada also awakened the spirits of nature - goblin, field, water, mermaids.

Makosh, mother, kush, wallet, purse (bag, scrip), piggy bank, merchant - these words are related to each other and mean an increase in goodness and wealth.

If Lada is more related to spring water, then Makosh is the goddess of the earth, Mother Earth. Women of ancient times learned to be Makosh in their family. Makosh is the woman who knows how to work in the field, in the garden, in the garden, in the forest, knows medicinal herbs, knows how to raise and raise children properly. Makosh is a goddess who reveals healer secrets to women in the summer (Morena - in the winter).

Makosh is the goddess of life (some Slavic tribes called her Zhiva), she carries a month (a man) in her growing womb after Kupala.

Man in Rus' was symbolically represented by a Tree. His parents, grandfathers and great-grandfathers are roots that go into the depths of time, into hoary antiquity, feeding him with the vital juices of the family. The branches and crown of the tree are the future children and grandchildren that every Rusich looks forward to. He stretches out his hands to the souls of his ancestors - the stars and to the main ancestor - the sun. The Slav does not ask them for favors, like Christians, but simply speaks and assures them of his firm intention to have a family and children.
If before marriage a girl learned the work of Mokosh, then after getting married she performs sacred maternal duties, giving birth and feeding children, teaching them kindness and the correct attitude towards nature and relatives. Being Makosh is the sacred duty of all girls and women.

Moraine, pestilence, frost, drizzle (rain), sea, mara, haze, stained, dead, gloom, darkness. All these words mean darkness, bitter cold, death, dampness or unbearable heat. Similar sensations occur to the sick and dying. Morena is a goddess who fights with spring and, leaving, takes with her the remnants of the past year (cold, snow, darkness), giving way to new life, spring.

On March 22, the vernal equinox begins, after which, as was believed in Russia, spring begins. Before the equinox, our ancestors cheerfully celebrated Maslenitsa. Bonfires were lit again, again in towns and villages, as on Kolyada, young people gathered in groups, the funniest entertainers were chosen for jokes and practical jokes; ice slides, forts for playing snowballs, swings and carousels were made; there was troika riding, hand-to-hand combat and wall-to-wall battles, and in the end - the capture of a snowy town and the burning of an effigy of Morena.

A competition immediately took place - who would be the most agile and be able to climb up the pole and get from there a rooster (it was revered as a symbol of the sun, dawn, spring and the goddess Lada - Morena's successor), round rolls or boots. A burning wheel was rolled down the mountain and bonfires were lit - a symbol of warmth and rebirth.

But Morena is not as terrible as she might seem. She is the image of our harsh snowy homeland, which tests everyone's strength and survival and takes only the weak. She loves the strict purity of the snow and the transparency of the ice; she is delighted by the dance of snowflakes in the deep winter sky. Morena's favorites are owls and lynxes. Russian people love winter, its invigorating cold, sparkling snowdrifts and ringing ice.

Morena's symbol is the moon. Her face looks sternly at the earth, awakening in wolves the desire to howl, thickening the fogs in the air and giving rise to the movement of waters in lakes and seas.

Perun, rune (in Rus', these ancient letters were known as “traits and cuts”, mentioned in many written sources). Speech, stream, prophet, roar, roar, roar. Perun is the great god of the Russians, the god of war and thunder. His weapons are sparkling swords, axes, a huge thundering hammer, a mace and a spear that strikes without missing a beat. Animals and birds of Perun - aurochs, wolves, ravens, falcons. We love and honor Perun among the people. His roaring thunderous voice is mesmerizing. The unearthly brilliance of his weapon - lightning - is shocking and awe-inspiring. The rapid flight of blue-leaden clouds - his warriors - delights.

Perun was especially revered in times of war and danger. In a bloody battle or during martial games, everyone tried to ignite in themselves the fiery spirit of this formidable ancestor-god.

Although Perun was related to the cold (he was born in the first month of winter), the Days of Perun - his time - began on June 20 and ended in early August. At this time, the Russians celebrated funeral feasts for the soldiers who had fallen in battle - they gathered on mounds and red mountains, held feasts, military fun, measured their strength in running, throwing weapons, swimming, and horse racing. They killed a bull bought by chipping in, roasted and ate it, and drank mead and kvass. They initiated initiations of young guys who had to undergo serious tests to become warriors and girdle themselves with the weapons of the Family.

Our ancestors always had many external enemies, and constant wars were fought. The shield and sword were revered as a symbol of Perun, his gift to a man. Weapons were worshiped and idolized.

But not only men went into mortal combat. Often, among the killed Russians on the battlefield, enemies were surprised to find women fighting shoulder to shoulder with their husbands. They were also patronized by the golden-moustached Perun...

Svarog, bungle, cook, light, holiness, reduce, color. These words are united by the idea of ​​​​the creation of life (horn, fate, birth, speech, name). Svarog is the greatest of the Russian gods. This is the ancestor, the ancestor, who set the course of life, who gave people knowledge and speech. He created the entire cosmos - the universe of Svarga. Svarog - in everything. Everything in the world is Svarog, a part of it. Among the Balts he bears the name Sotvaras, among the Iranians - Tvashtar, among the Romans - Saturn, among the Germans - Vodan, among the Etruscans - Satr, and so on - they all have consonant names and similar features. In the myths of the white peoples, God forges with a hammer - creates the world, striking lightning and sparks; for all of them, he has one relationship or another with the sun.

Svarog is wise, he sits surrounded by our deceased ancestors, smart birds and animals. Like an acorn that gave birth to a huge oak tree, this god gave birth to the Tree of Life. Gods and people, animals and birds - all living things - originate from Svarog the grandfather. Svarog resides in every object, in every person, he is obvious, he can be seen, touched, heard.

Svarog is in Navi, in the past, but they remember him (the old days). Svarog is in charge, in the future, which we know and for which we live. He is in us, we are part of him, just like our descendants.

Svarog is the old sun riding in a chariot, cold and dark.

Chernobog rules in last days the year when the night is the longest and the coldest is severe. Russians bathe in an ice hole, getting used to winter. Nature is silent like an old man, dressing in white snow clothes. People in their houses insulate the windows, burn splinters and eat what they grew in the summer, sing songs, tell fairy tales, sew clothes, repair shoes, make toys, heat stoves. And they wait for the birth of Khors, preparing outfits for caroling.

Semargl, stench, flickering, Cerberus, the dog Smargla, death - these concepts in their essence mean an otherworldly deity - a fiery wolf or a dog. Among the ancient Slavs, this is a fiery wolf with falcon wings, a very common image. The Rus saw Semargl as a winged wolf or a wolf with the wings and head of a falcon, and sometimes his paws were like those of a falcon. If we recall mythology, we will see that not only the horse was dedicated to the sun, but also the wolf and the falcon. It is worth looking at the chronicle letters, frames, ancient embroideries and decorations of houses, household utensils, armor and we will see that the wolf-falcon Semargl is found on them very often. For the Rus, Semargl was as important as the dragon for the Chinese, and the unicorn for the Celts.

The wolf and the falcon are swift, fearless (they attack an enemy with superior strength), loyal (a wolf, even when hungry, will not devour a relative like a dog). Warriors often identified themselves with wolves (a warrior is a howling wolf).

Do not forget that the wolf and falcon clear the forest of weak animals, healing nature and making natural selection. Images of a gray wolf and a falcon are often found in fairy tales, epics, songs, and ancient written monuments, such as “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign.”
In every Slav lives Semargl, who fights disease and evil in the human body. A drinking, smoking, lazy, degenerating person kills his Semargl, gets sick and dies

Stribog- swift, impetuous, fast, nimble, aspiration, stream, and even, if you want, a line. All these concepts mean flow, speed, spread, spreading. If we combine all this into one, we have before us the image of the wind and everything connected with it. This is either a warm breath of summer, or a violent gust of rain and thunderstorm, or a hurricane, a tornado, or a cold breath of the north, snowfalls and freezing temperatures.

Rus' is a northern land, and the icy midnight wind lives in it. Cold and hungry February is just the time; it is during this month that the howling of hungry wolves, which Stribog drives to hunt with his icy breath, is especially long and frightening. Only crows bathe in the streams north wind. And at night, the fast shadows of predatory lynxes slide among the snowstorm, sparkling yellow eyes and emitting a chilling meow.

In April, Stribog will arrive from the east with a young, warm daytime breeze. At night he will breathe cold dampness.

In summer, Stribog blows from midday (south), scorching with heat during the day and caressing with warmth at night. And in the fall, flying in from sunset (west), just like in the spring, it will warm during the day and cool at night.

In autumn and spring, Stribog disperses the clouds, revealing the warm, bright sun. In the summer, he brings rain during the drought so that the harvest does not perish; in the winter, he rotates the wings of the mills, grinding the grain into flour, from which bread is then kneaded.

The Rus considered themselves the grandchildren of Strigozh. Stribog is our breath, it is the air in which words sound, smells spread and light scatters, allowing us to see our surroundings. Stribog is vital to all living things. He is the lord of birds and is often depicted as a blowing head or horseman.

Horse, khorost, brushwood, chrest, cross, armchair, spark, round dance, horo, kolo, wheel, bracelet, stake, carols, circle, blood, red - all these words are related to each other and denote concepts associated with fire, circle, red color. If we merge them into one, an image of the sun will appear before us, described allegorically.

The Slavs celebrated the beginning of the new year on December 22 - the day winter solstice. It was believed that on this day a small, fierce sun was born in the form of a boy, Khors. The new sun completed the course of the old sun (old year) and opened the course of the next year. While the sun is still weak, night and cold prevail on the earth, inherited from the old year, but every day the Great Horse (as mentioned in “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign”) grows, and the sun grows stronger.

Our ancestors celebrated the solstice with carols, wore a Kolovrat (eight-pointed star) - the sun - on a pole, put on the masks of totemic animals, which were associated in the minds of people with the images of ancient gods: the bear - Veles, the cow - Makosh, the goat - the cheerful and at the same time evil hypostasis of Veles , the horse is the sun, the swan is Lada, the duck is Rozhanitsa (progenitor of the world), the rooster is a symbol of time, sunrise and sunset, and so on.

On the mountain they burned a wheel tied with straw, as if helping the sun to shine, then sledding, skating, skiing, snowball fights, fist fights and wall-to-wall fights, songs, dances, competitions, and games began. People went to visit each other, everyone tried to better treat those who came, so that in the new year there would be abundance in the house.

The harsh northern Rus' loved valiant fun. Forced to live and work in difficult conditions, our ancestors, until the 20th century, were known as cheerful and hospitable people who knew how to relax.
Horse is a male deity who embodies the desire of boys and adult husbands for knowledge, spiritual growth, self-improvement, to overcome the difficulties encountered in life and find the right solutions.

Yarilo, rage, spring, Yar (among the northerners in ancient times it meant “village”, since they used to live in huts with a fireplace), brightness. These words are united by the concept of increasing brightness, light. Indeed, after the arrival of spring there is a rapid increase in days and increased heat. Everything comes to life, grows, reaches for the sun. Nature is resurrected in the form of the beautiful Lada. Yarilo, melting the snow, lives mother earth with melt water.

Yarilo - the sun in the form of a young, full of strength groom rides on a horse to his Lada. He is in a hurry to start a family and give birth to children (harvest, baby animals, birds, fish, etc.).

By the summer solstice, Yarilo is gaining full strength. He lives in truth and love with the earth, giving birth to new lives in the summer. By June 22, Yarilo turns into Belbog, the day is the longest, nature is kind to him and loves him. Yarila's condition is the condition of all young guys.

In the fourth month of the year (now April), the Russians began the most important agricultural work for the entire Slavic family: plowing, grazing, then hunting, fishing, beekeeping, gardening, and vegetable gardening. Such was the life of the peasants (by the way, the word “peasant” comes from “cross, cross, horse”, and “ognishchanin” - from “fire” that is made in the oven).

Readers may have the erroneous opinion that some gods served as the embodiment of evil among the Slavs, others - good. No, the Russians, children of nature, accepted her in all its manifestations, knew how to be useful to her and gratefully take from her what they needed. The gods, like people, combined both principles - both positive and negative. For example, Yarilo gives warmth and light, but if you use them unwisely, there will be sunstroke. And Morena, although cold, helped Rus' more than once, freezing the troops of Hitler and Napoleon.

The Slavic Gods are the progenitors of the Great Slavic Family, and everyone who feels a kindred spiritual connection with the faith of their wise ancestors is intuitively drawn to the sources of the Native Faith.

Should we say that the heavenly patrons of the Russian people are always nearby? From a small drop of dew in the morning to the cosmic solar wind, from the fleeting thought of each of us to great achievements for the race - all this is under the sensitive attention of the Slavic Gods and Goddesses, who grant reliable protection at all times to those who live according to the precepts of the great Gods and Ancestors. If you need the help of the Native Gods, you need to learn to take care of all Living Things, because all Living Things are a continuation of life.

The gods of Slavic mythology support the life of all kinds of matter, maintaining harmony in their life, based on the uniform laws of the heritage of the great Creator. Each of them is in charge of its inherent mission, from the understanding of which the meanings of the Slavic Gods are formed. An unshakable respectful attitude towards the Native Gods will develop during a difficult life, and by receiving warnings and tips, you will be able to follow the right Path.

The pantheon of Slavic Gods is immense, and it is impossible to name all the names, since each name is a great deed in the vastness of the Universe. You will learn about the brightest knowledge that has reached us on the Slavic information portal “Veles”. You can also purchase one made from wood.

God Svarog

God Svarog- The Supreme Heavenly God, who controls the course of our Life and the entire World Order of the Universe in the Explicit World.

The Great God Svarog is the Father for many ancient Light Gods and Goddesses, therefore the Orthodox ancestors called them all Svarozhich, i.e. Children of God Svarog.

God Svarog, as a loving Father, cares not only about his Heavenly children and grandchildren, but also about people from all Clans of the Great Race, who are the descendants of the Ancient Svarozhichi, the Light Heavenly Gods on Midgard-Earth.

But our Great and wise Ancestors, in addition to the Children and Grandsons of the Supreme God Svarog, also called the Heavenly Luminaries - the Sun and Stars *, as well as any Celestial body, which appeared in the Sky and sometimes fell from Heaven to Earth (meteorites, fireballs, etc.).

* Suns and Stars - among the Slavs and Aryans, these two concepts were different. Luminaries were called Suns, around which more than 8 Earths (planets) revolved in their orbits, and Luminaries were called Stars, around which no more than 7 Earths (planets) or small Luminaries (dwarf Stars) rotated in their orbits.

The Supreme God Svarog loves living Nature very much and takes care of various plants and the most beautiful, rare flowers.

God Svarog is the Guardian and Patron of the Heavenly Vyry (Slavic-Aryan Garden of Eden), planted around the Heavenly Asgard (City of the Gods), in which all kinds of trees, plants and the most beautiful, rare flowers from all the worldly (i.e. controlled) are collected from all the Light Worlds ) to him the Universe.

But Svarog cares not only about Heavenly Vyria and Heavenly Asgard, but also cares about the Nature of Midgard-Earth and other similar Light Lands located at the Border between the Light and Dark Worlds, on which He created beautiful Gardens similar to Heavenly Vyria.

The fruitful power of the rays of Yarila the Sun and rain showers sent by Svarog to Midgard-Earth warms and nourishes the flora and fauna of the earthly Garden-Vyria near Asgard of Iria, and also warms and nourishes the flora and fauna of the entire Midgard.

The Supreme God Svarog gives the necessary plant food to birds and animals. He indicated to people what food they needed to grow to feed their Clans and what food they needed to feed tamed birds and animals.

Vyriy Garden adjoins the Heavenly Asgard (City of the Gods), in the center of which are the Majestic Mansions of Svarog.

The Great God Svarog is the permanent Guardian of the Heavenly Palace of the Bear in the Svarog Circle.

The Supreme God Svarog established the Heavenly Laws of ascension along the Golden Path of Spiritual Development. All Light Harmonious Worlds follow these laws.

Anthem-Orthodox Praise:

Svarog the Progenitor, Guardian of all Svarga the Most Pure! Glorious and Trislaven be you! We all glorify You, we call Your Image to us! May You be inseparably with us, now and ever and from Circle to Circle! So be it, so be it, so be it!

Goddess Makosh

Goddess Makosh— Heavenly (Sva) Mother of God, Just Goddess of a happy lot and Fate.

Together with his daughters, Dolya and Nedolya, he determines the Fates of the Heavenly Gods, as well as the fates of all people from the Great Race and all descendants of the Heavenly Family living on our Midgard-Earth and on all other beautiful Lands of the Most Pure Svarga, weaving for each of them the Threads of Fate .

Therefore, many people turned to Goddess Makosha so that she would trust her youngest daughter, Goddess Dole, to weave the Thread of Fate into a ball.

Goddess Makosh at all times was a very attentive and caring Patron of weaving and all kinds of handicrafts, and also made sure that a good harvest grew in the fields where the orachi (peasants) put their Soul into their hard work.

It should be remembered that the great Heavenly Goddess Makosh is not only the Patron Goddess of growth and fertility, as many might think, but a Goddess who gives hardworking and diligent people a good harvest.

To those Clans from the Great Race and to all the descendants of the Heavenly Clans who were not lazy, but worked in the fields, gardens and vegetable gardens by the sweat of their brow, putting their Soul into their hard work, the Goddess Makosh sent her youngest daughter - the blond Goddess Share.

Those same people who worked poorly and carelessly in their fields (no matter what Family they were from) received a bad harvest. Therefore, people said that “Makosh Dolya came from Makosh to measure the harvest” or “Makosh sent Nedolya to measure the harvest.”

For hardworking people, the Goddess Makosh is the giver of all sorts of blessings, therefore, on the Images and Idols of the Goddess Mokosh, she was very often depicted with the Horn of Plenty or its symbolic image in the form of a Heavenly Bucket of Seven Stars*.

* The Heavenly Bucket of Seven Stars is the constellation Ursa Major; in the Slavic-Aryan cosmogonic system this constellation is called Makosh, i.e. Mother of the Bucket.

Orthodox ancestors, invariably following all the instructions of the Goddess Mokosh, strive for a calm and measured life, for the ancient traditional way of life, for sensual empathy and hard work.

Goddess Makosh rules the Hall of the Heavenly Swan in the Svarog Circle. Therefore, the Goddess Makosh is very often depicted in the form of a White Swan floating along the endless Sea-Ocean, i.e. in Heaven.

In honor of the Wise Heavenly Mother of God, the Slavs and Aryans erected Great Kumirnis and Temples, for the Goddess Makosh personified not only fate, luck, prosperity in the Slavic Clans, observing the laws and commandments of the Ancient Light Gods, people also turned to her with a request to increase their Ancient Clans, t .e. asked for more children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

God Veles

God Veles- The Patron God of cattle breeders and livestock breeders, as well as the Ancestral Patron of the Western Slavs - the Scotts (Scots), which is why they have told everyone from time immemorial that “Veles is the cattle God.”

Having moved to the British Isles, the ancient Clans of the Slavs - the Scotts - called all the inhabited provinces - the Land of the Scotts - Scotland (Scotland), and in honor of their Ancestral Patron God Veles, they named the lands with the best pastures after him - Wales (Wales, i.e. Veles ).

Since Veles is the Patron God and Ruler of the Heavenly Palace of the Wolf in the Svarog Circle, which is located next to the Heavenly Boundary separating the Worlds of Light and Darkness, the Highest Gods entrusted Veles to be the supreme Guardian of the Heavenly Gates of the Interworld. These Heavenly Gates are located on the Golden Path of Spiritual Development, which leads to Heavenly Asgard, as well as to Heavenly Vyry and to the Bright Halls of Volhalla.

God Veles always personifies comprehensive care, painstaking creative diligence, honesty and determination, perseverance, constancy and masterly wisdom, the ability to be responsible for all one’s actions, spoken words and committed deeds.

God Veles, guarding the Heavenly Gates of the Interworld, allows into Svarga the Most Pure Souls only those deceased who did not spare their lives in defense of their Clans, in defense of the lands of their Fathers and Grandfathers, in defense of the ancient Faith, who worked diligently and creatively for the prosperity of their Clans and who fulfilled the Two Great Principles from the bottom of their hearts: It is sacred to honor your Gods and Ancestors and those who lived according to their Conscience in harmony with Mother Nature.

Anthem-Orthodox Praise:

Velese Bose is the Patron! Svarga Dvara is the protector! And we glorify You, O All-Kind One, for You are our backup and support! And do not leave us alone, and protect our fat herds from pestilence, and fill our granaries with goodness. May we be one with You, now and ever and from Circle to Circle! So be it, so be it, so be it!

Goddess Marena (Mara)

Goddess Marena (Mara)— Great Goddess of Winter, Night and Eternal Sleep and Eternal Life.

Goddess Marena, or Marena Svarogovna, one of the three named sisters of the Many-Wise God Perun.

Very often she is called the Goddess of Death, who ends the earthly life of a person in the Manifest World, but this is not entirely true.

Goddess Marena does not end human life, but gives people of the Race Eternal Life in the World of Glory.

It is believed that the Great Goddess Marena has Ice Halls in the far north of Midgard-Earth, in which She loves to rest after wandering around Svarga the Most Pure.

When the Goddess Marena comes to Midgard-Earth, all Nature falls asleep, goes to rest, plunging into a long three-month sleep, for it is said in the Santiy Veda of Perun: “The Great Cooling will bring the Aryan wind to this land, and Madder will cover it for a third of Summer with his White Cloak" (Santiya 5, sloka 3).

And when Marena Svarogovna goes to her Ice Halls, on the second day after the Spring Equinox, the awakening of Nature and diverse life occurs. In honor of the farewell to the Goddess Madder to the North, the Krasnogor holiday is celebrated annually, Maslenitsa-Mader Day, also called the Farewell to the Goddess of Winter (the modern name is Farewell to the Russian Winter).

On this day, a doll made of straw is burned, symbolizing not the Goddess Madder, as many people think, but the snowy Winter. After the ritual of burning a straw doll, a handful of ashes were scattered over a field, garden or vegetable garden so that a good, rich harvest would grow. For, as our Ancestors said: “The Goddess Vesta came to Midgard-Earth, to Krasnogor new life brought it, lit the fire and winter snow melted it, filled the whole earth with living power and woke Madder from her sleep. The Mother of Cheese Earth will give life-giving power to our fields, selected grain will germinate in our fields, so that we can give a good harvest to all our Clans.”

But Goddess Marena, in addition to observing Nature’s rest on Midgard-Earth, when Mother Nature gathers life-giving forces for the spring awakening and the life of plants and animals, also observes the lives of people. And when the time comes for people from the Clans of the Great Race to set off on a long journey along the Golden Path, the Goddess Marena gives instructions to each deceased person in accordance with his earthly Spiritual and worldly life, as well as in accordance with the creative experience gained, in which direction he should continue his posthumous life Path, to the World of Navi or to the World of Glory.

Goddess Marena is the Patroness of the Fox Hall in the Svarog Circle.

Anthem-Orthodox Praise:

Marena-Mother, Glorious and Trislavna be! We magnify You from eternity, we kindle bloodless Requirements and Gifts for You all the time! Grant us prosperity in all our deeds, and save our cattle from pestilence, and do not let our barns become empty, for great is Thy generosity, now and ever, and from Circle to Circle! So be it, so be it, so be it!

God Kryshen

God Kryshen— Heavenly Patron God of Ancient Wisdom. He is the God who directs the performance of ancient Rites, Rituals and Holidays, observing that during the offerings of bloodless Requirements and Gifts for burnt offerings there are no bloody sacrifices.

In peaceful times, Kryshen preaches the Ancient Wisdom in various Lands of Svarga the Most Pure, and in difficult times for the Race Clans Great times He takes up arms and acts as a Warrior God, protecting women, the elderly, children, as well as all the weak and disadvantaged.

Since Kryshen is the Patron God of the Hall of Tours in the Svarog Circle, He is called the Heavenly Shepherd, who tends the herds of Heavenly Cows and Tours.

Goddess Rada

Goddess Rada– Goddess of memory, happiness and joy, spiritual bliss, Divine Love, beauty, wisdom and prosperity. One of its meanings is the gift of the sun. Hara is another name of the Goddess Rada, representing the energy of love, joy and loving service to the Roof.

It helps to achieve internal and external balance, reconcile all areas of a person’s life, and find balance of the Soul. Rada, the daughter of the Lady of the Sea and the Sun God Ra, lived on Sunny Island. Rada was so beautiful that they began to say that she was more beautiful than the bright Sunny. Having learned about this, the Sun God Ra arranged a competition with his daughter - who shines brighter? And after the competition, everyone decided that the Sun shines brighter in the sky, and the Rada shines brighter on Earth.

Rada can be seen after heavy summer rains and thunderstorms in the blue sky - at these moments Rada appears briefly in one of its most important and brightest images, in the form of a seven-color rainbow, stretching across half the sky and delighting with its beauty all those who look at the rainbow.

It must be said that the main calling of the Rada is to bring joy to people. And her very name later gave birth to this word - “joy”. And yet it is not the rainbow that is the true appearance of this bright goddess. The true appearance of Rada is a beautiful young girl. It usually appears somewhere in a forest or meadow, often near a river or lake, which emphasizes the proximity of the water element, at dawn or before sunset. Rada smiles at everyone she meets during her walks.

These thirty Light Protector Gods make up the mighty Heavenly squad of the Thunder God Indra, whose purpose is to protect the Frontiers of the Light Worlds.

The Supreme God Indra has always been the patron saint of the Von-defenders of the Fatherland, as well as for all the Priests-Priests from the most ancient Clans, in which the Ancient Sacred Vedas are stored.

Indra participates not only in Heavenly battles with Dark forces - in ancient times He helped the Slavic and Aryan armies and squads in fair battles with enemy forces that attacked various cities and villages of the Great Race.

In addition, it is believed that God Indra brings down swift streams of rain from the cloudy mountains and, collecting them in special containers, creates earthly springs, streams and rivers, multiplies their waters, grows wide channels for them and directs their flow.

Anthem-Pravslavl:

O Indra! Hear those who call upon Thee! Glorious and Trislaven be you! And help us in battles with our enemies! And grant us help in the deeds sent! And we speak Glory to You and say, Great Indra! And the greatness of Glory, may it be the lot of the Thunderer, now and ever, and from Circle to Circle! So be it, so be it, so be it!

God Perun

God Perun(Perkunas, Perkon, Perk, Purusha) - Patron God of all warriors and many Clans from the Great Race, protector of the Lands and Clans of the Svyatorus (Rus, Belarusians, Estonians, Lithuanians, Latvians, Latgalians, Semigallians, Polans, Serbs, etc.) from Dark forces, God the Thunderer, ruler of Lightning, son of God Svarog and Lada the Mother of God, grandson of God Vyshenya. Patron God of the Hall of the Eagle in the Svarog Circle. God Perun has already arrived on Midgard-Earth three times to protect it and the Clans of the Great Race from the dark forces of the Pekel World.

Dark forces come from different Halls of the Pekel World in order to lure people from the Clans of the Great Race to their full by deception, flattery and cunning, and if this does not help, then they kidnap people in order to turn them all into obedient slaves in their dark World and not let them opportunities to spiritually develop and move along the Golden Path, as was established by God Svarog.

Dark forces penetrate not only Midgard-Earth, but also other Light Lands in Svarga the Most Pure. And then a battle occurs between the forces of Light and Darkness. Perun already once freed our Ancestors from Pekelnoye captivity and blocked the Interworld Gates leading to Hell on Midgard-Earth with the Caucasus Mountains.

These battles of Light and Darkness took place at certain intervals: “after the expiration of the Svarog Circle and the Ninety-Nine Circles of Life», those. in 40,176 years.

After the first three Heavenly Battles between Light and Darkness, when the Light Forces won, God Perun descended to Midgard-Earth to tell people about the events that had taken place and what awaited the Earth in the future, about the onset of dark times and about the upcoming Great Asses, t .e. Heavenly Battles.

Fluctuations in time between the Third and the upcoming decisive Fourth Battle of Light and Darkness can constitute, in addition to the time indicated above by Perun, only one Circle of Life, i.e. 144 Leta.

There are also Legends that God Perun visited Midgard-Earth several more times in order to tell the Hidden Wisdom to the Priests and Elders of the Clans of the Holy Race, how to prepare for the dark, hard times, when the Arm of our swastika galaxy will pass through spaces subject to forces from the Dark Worlds of Hell.

Dark forces that have secretly penetrated Midgard-Earth are creating all sorts of false religious Cults and are specifically trying to destroy or denigrate the Cult of God Perun, erase it from the memory of peoples, so that by the time of the Fourth, decisive battle between Light and Darkness, when Perun arrives on Midgard-Earth , people did not know who He was and for what purpose He came.

In our time, a large number of “true” prophecies have appeared about the End of the World or the End of Times, especially in the Lunar Cults, about the coming of the Supreme God the Savior to Midgard-Earth. Followers of one world religion call him Christ, and other religions call him Messiah, Mosheach, Buddha, Matreya, etc. All this is done so that during the coming of Perun to Earth, white people do not recognize in Him their Supreme God and reject His help, and thereby doom themselves to complete humiliation and destruction.

During his Third visit to Midgard-Earth, about 40,000 years ago, Perun told people from Asgard Iria various genera The Great Race and the descendants of the Heavenly Family have the Sacred Wisdom about the future, which the Priests of Belovodye wrote down in X'Aryan Runes and preserved for descendants in the Nine Circles of the “Santiy Vedas of Perun” (in the nine “Books of the Wisdom of God Perun”).

Anthem-Pravslav Line:

Perun! Hear those who call upon Thee! Glorious and Trislaven be you! Grant the goodness of the Light of Peace to the entire Holy Race! Show your beautiful face to your descendants! Instruct us in good deeds, grant the people of the world more Glory and courage. Turn us away from the lesson of dissipation, give our Clans a multitude of people, now and ever and from Circle to Circle! So be it, so be it, so be it!

Goddess Dodola-Virgin

Goddess Dodola-Virgin (Perunitsa)— Heavenly Goddess of abundant Fertility, who controls rain, thunderstorms and lightning, wife and helper of the Supreme God Perun.

Only female Priestesses serving Her had the right to make requests to the Heavenly Goddess Dodola-Virgin. Therefore, when people needed rain to water fields and meadows, representatives of different Clans brought rich Gifts to the Temple of Dodola-Virgin so that the Priestesses would perform the ancient Rite of Calling Rain.

During the ancient Rite of Appeal to the Goddess, the Priestesses wore their white dresses with a special ornament and with golden fringe at the bottom and performed an ancient ritual rain dance, asking the great Goddess Dodola-Virgin to send down blessed rain on the fields and meadows. And there has never been a single case in my life when the Goddess Dodola-Virgin refused her faithful Priestesses.

Dazhdbog

Dazhdbog- God Tarkh Perunovich, Guardian God of the ancient Great Wisdom.

He was called Dazhdbog (the giving God) for giving the people of the Great Race and the descendants of the Heavenly Family, Nine Santiy (Books).

These Santias, written down by ancient Runes, contain the Sacred Ancient Vedas, the Commandments of Tarkh Perunovich and his instructions. There are various Idols and Images depicting God Tarkh.

In many Images he holds a gaitan with a Swastika in his hand.

Tarkh is very often called the many-wise son of God Perun, the grandson of God Svarog, the great-grandson of God Vyshen, which is true*.

* corresponds to the truth - although there is also an erroneous opinion: Tarkha Dazhdbog in many ancient sources is very often called Svarozhich, i.e. Heavenly God, and many ancient researchers interpret this in such a way that Dazhdbog is the son of God Svarog.

Dazhdbog is the giver of all kinds of blessings, happiness and prosperity. Tarkh Dazhdbog was glorified in sacred and folk chants and hymns not only for the happy and worthy life of the Clans of the Great Race, but also for deliverance from the forces of the Dark World. Tarkh did not allow the victory of the dark forces from the Pekel World, which were gathered by the Koschei on the nearest Moon - Lele, in order to capture Midgard-Earth.

Tarkh Dazhdbog destroyed the Moon along with all the dark forces that were on it. This is reported “Santiy of the Vedas of Perun. First Circle: “You have been living peacefully on Midgard since ancient times, when the world was established... Remembering from the Vedas about the deeds of Dazhdbog, how he destroyed the strongholds of the Koschei, which were located on the nearest Moon... Tarkh did not allow the insidious Koschei to destroy Midgard, as they destroyed Deya... These Koschei, the rulers of the Grays, disappeared along with the Moon in half... But Midgard paid for freedom, hidden by the Great Flood... The waters of the Moon created that Flood, they fell to Earth from Heaven like a rainbow, for the Moon split into pieces and an army of Svarozhiches descended to Midgard"(Santiya 9, shlokas 11-12). In memory of this event, a unique ritual with deep meaning** appeared, performed by all Orthodox people every Summer, on the great spring Slavic-Aryan holiday - Easter.

** A ritual with deep meaning - this ritual is well known to everyone. On Paskhet (Easter) colored eggs are struck against each other to see whose egg is stronger. The broken egg was called the Egg of the Koshcheev, i.e. the destroyed Moon (Lelei), and the whole egg was called the Power of Tarkh Dazhdbog.

Dazhdbog Tarkh Perunovich is the Patron God of the Palace of the Race in the Svarozh Circle.

Very often in various ancient Vedic texts, Tarkha Perunovich is asked to help people from the Clans of the Great Race by his beautiful sister, the golden-haired Goddess Tara. Together they performed good deeds and helped people settle in the vast expanses of Midgard-Earth. God Tarkh indicated the best place to place a settlement and build a Temple or Sanctuary, and his sister, Goddess Tara, told people from the Great Race which trees should be used for construction. In addition, she trained people to plant new forests in place of felled trees, so that new trees needed for construction would grow for their descendants. Subsequently, many Clans began to call themselves the grandchildren of Tarkh and Tara, and the territories in which these Clans settled were called Great Tartary, i.e. the land of Tarha and Tara.

Anthem-Orthodox Praise:

Dazhdbog Tarkh Perunovich! Glorious and Trislaven be you! We thank You, the giver of all blessings, happiness and prosperity. And we proclaim great Glory to You for your help in our good deeds, and for your help in our military deeds, and against dark enemies and all unrighteous evil. May Your Great Power come with all our Clans, now and ever and from Circle to Circle! So be it, so be it, so be it!

Goddess Alive (Virgo Jiva, Diva)

Goddess Alive (Virgo Jiva, Diva)— Goddess of Eternal Universal Life, Goddess of young and pure Human Souls.

The Goddess Jiva gives each person from the Great Race, or the descendant of the Heavenly Family, a pure and bright Soul at birth in the World of Reveal, and after a righteous earthly life she gives the person to drink the Divine Suritsa from the Cup of Eternal Life.

The Goddess is Alive, is the personification of the fruitful power of Life, eternal youth, youth and love, as well as the highest Beauty of all Nature and man.

Patron Goddess of the Chamber of the Virgin in the Svarog Circle. It is believed that when the Yarilo-Sun is in the Heavenly Palace of the Virgin, children are born endowed with special feelings, such as: foreseeing great changes in people's lives and predicting formidable natural phenomena, the ability to understand any confusing situation.

Goddess Jiva is the kind-hearted wife and savior of Tarkh Dazhdbog. She also imparts tenderness, kindness, cordiality and attentiveness to pregnant women and nursing mothers from the Clans of the Great Race, which are observed by the ancients family traditions and the centuries-old tribal way of life.

Anthem-Orthodox Praise:

Jiva Mother! Shower Guardian! You are the Patroness of all our families! We call upon Thee, We glorify Thee, We magnify Thee as the giver of Bright Souls!

God Agni (Tsar-Fire, Living Fire)

God Agni (Tsar-Fire, Living Fire)— Heavenly God-Patron of the Sacred Fire of Creation.

God Agni controls the festive Rituals with Fire, bloodless sacrifices.

He is revered in all Clans of Orthodox Old Believers-Iiglings, and in every altar, near the Idol of God Agni, a living Sacred Fire was always maintained.

It is believed that if the Sacred Fire goes out in the altar of God Agni, then the lands of these Clans will stop producing a good harvest, craftsmen will forget how to make the necessary utensils, weavers will stop weaving good, high-quality fabric, storytellers will forget all the ancient traditions of their Ancient Clans. Dark times will last until people light the Sacred Fire of God Agni in the altar and in their hearts.

God Semargl (Fire God)

Description of Semargl, compiled on the basis of the works of A. Khinevich “Slavic-Aryan Vedas”

God Semargl (Fire God)— Supreme God, guardian of the Eternally Living Fire and guardian of the strict observance of all Fire Rites and Fiery Purifications.

Semargl accepts Fiery Gifts, Requirements and bloodless Sacrifice on ancient Slavic and Aryan holidays, especially on Krasnogor, on the Day of God Kupala and on the Supreme Day of God Perun, being a mediator between people and all Heavenly Gods.

Fire God Semargl is the Patron God of the Hall of the Heavenly Serpent in the Svarozh Circle.

The Fire God joyfully blesses all people from the Clans of the Great Race, who with pure Soul and Spirit observe all the Heavenly Laws and the Many-Wise Commandments of the Light Gods and Ancestors.

Semargl is also called upon in the treatment of sick animals and people, in order to save patients from various ailments and diseases. When a person’s temperature rose, they said that Fire God settled in the Soul of the sick person. For Semargl, like a Fire Dog, fiercely fights against illnesses and diseases, which, like enemies, have penetrated into the body or Soul of the sick person. Therefore, it is considered unacceptable to bring down a patient’s fever. The most best place A bath is considered to cleanse oneself from illness.

Anthem-Orthodox Praise:

Semargl Svarozhich! Great Ognebozhich! Sleep with the pain, cleanse the womb of the child of the people, of every creature, old and young, You, God's delight. Cleansing with fire, opening the power of Souls, save the child of God, may the sickness disappear. We glorify you, we call you to us, now and ever and from Circle to Circle! So be it, so be it, so be it!

Birth of Semargl!

There are references to the emergence of Semargl from the flame. They say that once the heavenly blacksmith Svarog himself, striking a magic hammer on the stone, struck divine sparks from the stone. The sparks flared up brightly, and in their flames the fiery god Semargl appeared, sitting on a golden-maned horse of a silver color. But, seeming to be a quiet and peaceful hero, Semargl left a scorched trail wherever his horse stepped.

Beliefs associated with Semargl

The name of the God of Fire is not known for certain, most likely because his name is extremely sacred. Holiness is explained by the fact that this God does not live somewhere in the seventh heaven, but directly among earthly people! They try to pronounce his name out loud less often, usually replacing it with allegories.

The Slavs have long associated the emergence of people with Fire. According to some legends, the Slavic Gods created a Man and a Woman from two sticks, between which a Fire flared up - the very first flame of love. Semargl also does not allow evil into the world.

At night Semargl stands guard with fire sword and only one day a year does he leave his post, responding to the call of the Bathing Lady, who calls him to love games on the day of the Autumn Equinox. And on the day of the Summer Solstice, 9 months later, children are born to Semargl and Kupalnitsa - Kostroma and Kupalo.

Semargl mediator between people and gods

Semargl accepts Fiery Gifts, Requirements and bloodless Sacrifice on ancient holidays, especially on Krasnogor, on the Day of God Kupala and on the highest Day of God Perun, and is a mediator between people and all Heavenly Gods.

Semargl is called upon in the treatment of sick animals and people, in order to save the sick from various ailments and diseases. When a person has a fever, they say that Fire God has settled in the Soul of the sick person. For Semargl, like a Fire Dog, fiercely fights against illnesses and illnesses, which, like enemies, have entered the body or Soul of the sick person. Therefore, it is considered unacceptable to bring down a patient’s fever. The best place to cleanse yourself from illness is considered to be a bathhouse.

God Semargl in Slavic mythology:
God Semargl in pagan mythology was one of the sons of the great god Svarog. Svarog's children were called Svarozhichi, and his son Semargl after birth becomes the god of earthly fire.
One of the Svarozhichs was the god of fire - Semargl, who is sometimes mistakenly only considered a heavenly dog, the guardian of seeds for sowing. This (storing seeds) was constantly carried out by a much smaller deity - Pereplut.

Mentions of the name Semargl in chronicles

The name of Semargl is mentioned in Russian chronicles - the pantheon of the book. Vladimir, it supposedly came from the old Russian “smag” (“Follow him I will call Karn, and Zhlya jump across the Russian land, Smag moo in the flame rose” i.e. fire, tongue of flame, Fire-Svarozhich - half dog, half snake. Probably , the mediator between the waking world and the heavenly world, which in the Vedic tradition is the god of fire - Agni. He is also the foam (fire) serpent from the conspiracies. Mentioned in the Paisevsky collection of St. Gregory (14th century) and the Chrysostom collection of 1271. Fire God - Yognebozhe, according to the “Veda of the Slavs” by Verkovich, among the Pomak Bulgarians:

Fala ti Yogne God!
Fala ti Yasnu Sun!
You heat it up on the ground.
Pecking the chickadee into the ground...
Pokrivash e tsarna Muggle,
ta sa nishu and gleda.

He is, quite possibly, Rarog, Rarogek is the son of Svarog, according to Czech medieval sources.
The identification of this god with the Iranian Senmurv (a giant magical bird) is considered unjustified, but there is probably a connection with the firebird (the fiery messenger of happiness), which brings his happiness.

Simargl (Old Russian Semargl, Simargl, Sim-Rgl) - in East Slavic mythology, a deity who was one of the seven (or eight) deities of the Old Russian pantheon (see article Slavic mythology), whose idols were installed in Kyiv under the prince Vladimir (980). The name Semargl apparently goes back to the ancient *Sedmor(o)-golvъ, “Seven heads” (cf. the polycephaly characteristic of the Slavic gods, in particular the seven-headed Ruevit). According to another, more controversial hypothesis (K.V. Trever and others), the name and image of Semargl is an Iranian borrowing and goes back to the mythical bird Senmurv. D. Worth connects Semargl with the Dove bird. Semargl's functions are unclear; they are probably associated with the sacred number seven and the embodiment of the seven-membered ancient Russian pantheon. It is characteristic that in some texts of the Kulikovo Cycle the name Semargl is distorted into Rakliy, and this deity is considered as a pagan, Tatar. Lit.: Trever K.V., Sanmurv-Paskudzh, L., 1937; Jakobson R., While reading Vasmer’s dictionary, in his book: Selected writings, v. 2, The Hague-P., 1971; Worth D., Dub-Simyrj, in the book: East Slavic and general linguistics, M., 1978, p. 127-32.
"Myths of the Peoples of the World"

Semargl - the most mysterious deity of the Slavs

This cult developed among the Slavs under the influence of Scythian influence approximately 3 thousand years ago. Semargl, in all likelihood, meant “seed”. This deity was not the most popular among the ancient Slavs, but probably remained the most mysterious to this day. Simargl is a sacred winged dog that protects seeds and crops, revered along with the ancient Russian coast guards. Even in the Bronze Age, among Slavic tribes there is an image of dogs jumping and tumbling around young shoots. Apparently, these dogs protected crops from small livestock: chamois, roe deer, wild goats. Semargl among the Slavs was the embodiment of armed good, “good with teeth,” as well as claws and even wings. In some tribes Semargl was called Pereplut; the cult of this deity was associated with festivals in honor of mermaids, as well as bird-maidens, who were deities of irrigating fields with rain. Rituals in honor of Semargl and the mermaids were held in early January and consisted of prayers for water for the new harvest. Another major holiday of Semargl and mermaids was mermaid week from June 19 to 24, ending with the holiday of Kupala. Archaeologists in many female burials of the 10th - 11th centuries. They discovered silver hoop bracelets that fastened the long sleeves of women's shirts. During ritual pagan games, before dancing, women took off their bracelets and danced “carelessly,” portraying mermaids. This dance was dedicated to the winged dog Semargl, and, apparently, the legend of the frog princess came from him. During the ritual, all participants drank a sacred drink prepared with herbs. Gifts were brought to Semarglu-Pereplut, his image in the form of a dog, most often cups with the best wine. In rare surviving images, the sacred dog Semargl was depicted as if growing from the ground. From written sources it becomes clear that the Semarglu ritual took place with the obligatory participation of boyars and princesses, who brought rich gifts to the idol.

“World cults and rituals. The power and strength of the ancients." Compiled by Yu.A. Matyukhina. -M.:RIPOL classic, 2011. Pp. 150-151.
Some researchers compare Simargl with the Iranian deity Simurgh (Senmurv), a sacred winged dog, guardian of plants. According to B.A. Rybakov, Simargl in Rus' in the 12th-13th centuries was replaced by Pereplut, which had the same meaning as Semargl. Obviously, Semargl was the deity of some tribe, subject to the Grand Duke of Kyiv Vladimir.

Here is my vision of the Slavic god Semargl, born on the basis of personal study of legends and traditions:

Semargl Ognebog is probably one of the most mysterious light gods of the Slavic world.

Its mystery lies in the fact that many Slavic Gods were created by man in “his own likeness” and had a completely human appearance, and Semargl had the image of a winged fiery wolf.

Most likely, the image of Semargl is older than the “humanized” images of the gods……. And it may be the key to your inner strength. Look around you will not see flying fire wolves, there are none outside until you find it inside. Our external world is a reflection of the internal, do not look for gods outside, find them inside yourself and then they will appear outside.

Semargl lives in you - this is your spiritual fire, crushing the chains of ignorance, this is the fire of sacred rage, sweeping away the enemy's outposts on its way, this is the heat of the body, defeating the body's diseases, this is the fire in the furnace, warming you.... in modern understanding - this is even nuclear energy. All this is the god Semargl, or rather his manifestations

According to legend, Semargl was born from the blow of Svarog’s hammer on the Alatyr stone: from the splashing sparks, a flame shot up, and a rider on a golden-maned horse appeared in the fire.

The imagery of the ancient language speaks of the interaction of divine forces, which there is no point in revealing, because their divinity will be lost. Our language is a limited tool, especially after the cutting off of its imagery and the reform carried out by the Bolsheviks. The appearance of Semargl is facilitated by several forces, and at all levels of existence they are similar: the force of friction and impact. The blow of Svarog’s hammer on the anvil of Alatyr gives birth to Semargl, the blow of a wave of your anger against insurmountable circumstances ignites a sacred rage in you, the blow of a flint and a steel against each other causes the fire of the material world, the interaction of two nuclei causes a nuclear explosion.....the interaction of your spiritual and material principles causes spiritual fire.

Semargl's mission is simple and at the same time complex: the Winged Wolf does not let the dark principle from the manifest world into the world of Rule, standing guard over Reveal with a “burning” sword. He is the keeper of the interworld between reality and rule, although Nav is also available to him, and can come from Navi.....

He is the shield and sword of the human world - he can protect, warm, protect, heal, or he can destroy and destroy everything in his path.

The keys and connection to Semargl are stored in your subconscious. And you will receive them only when you become holistic and do not use this power for selfish purposes, when your consciousness is cleared of the dark spots of ignorance, then you learn to consciously use its power. The Slavic Gods will not entrust a nuclear bomb to a child, and the power of Semargl is hidden behind seven seals, which will be revealed only to pure consciousness.

Accept the image of Semargl, feel the divine fire in your soul, help others understand and accept the Native Gods. Help Semargl spread his wings in each of us, help awaken strength, rage and wolfish agility. To the Glory of Our Gods and Ancestors!

Stribog

Stribog- is the God who controls lightning, whirlwinds, hurricanes, winds and sea storms on Midgard-earth. We turn to him when a rain cloud is needed during a dry period, or vice versa, during a rainy period when it is necessary for Stribog to disperse the clouds and the Yarilo-Sun to warm the fields, gardens and orchards filled with moisture.

Stribog also controls the winds and sandstorms on the Earth of Oreya (Mars). In addition, Stribog is the Patron God of the Earth of Stribog (Saturn) in the Yarila-Sun system. But most of all, our ancestors revered Stribog as the destroyer of all kinds of atrocities and the destroyer of evil intentions.

God Varuna (God of the World Waters)

God Varuna— God, who controls the Element of movement of the Starry Sky and oversees the sacred paths that connect the Gates of Interworld in different Halls of Svarga the Most Pure.

Varuna is the God who rules the roads of Human Fates. Only God Varuna can determine the power of Spiritual Formation and the completeness of fulfillment of a person’s Life Purpose.

Raven is the Veshaya bird, the faithful companion of the Ruler God Varuna. He accompanies the Souls of the dead to the Vyria Gate in the Great Most Pure Svarga and informs the Navya Souls about what high goals they have achieved in their Spiritual and Soul development and in fulfilling their Life Purpose on Midgard-Earth.

If God Varuna decides that a person needs to be given the opportunity to complete the work he has begun, which he did not have time to complete due to sudden death, then he sends his assistant, Raven, to Dunya of the deceased person.

Raven, the guardian of Living and Dead Water, makes it possible for the Soul of the deceased to return to his own body, so that a person, returning to the World of Revealing, can complete his unfinished work.

In the World of Reveal they say about such a person: “he experienced clinical death” or “he returned from the other world.” Oddly enough, after the God-Manager Varuna returns a person to his former life, the person changes his behavior, does not waste his life in vain and completes the work that he did not have time to finish.

If a person cannot be returned to his own body due to his complete destruction, then the Heavenly God Varuna asks the Goddess Karna to find a suitable body for this Soul-Navya.

God Kolyada

God Kolyada— The Supreme God, who controls the Great Changes in the life of the Clans of the Great Race and the descendants of the Heavenly Clans.

In ancient times, the Supreme God Kolyada gave many Clans who moved to the western lands a system of calculating seasonal time for conducting field work - the Calendar (Kolyada's gift), as well as his Wise Vedas, commandments and instructions.

Kolyada is the Patron God of military men and Priests. Kolyada was often depicted with a sword in her hand, with the blade of the sword facing downward.

In ancient times, a sword with its tip facing downwards meant the preservation of the Wisdom of the Gods and Ancestors, as well as unshakable adherence to the Heavenly Laws, as established by God Svarog for all the Halls of the Svarog Circle.

The holiday in honor of God Kolyada falls on the day of the winter solstice; this holiday is also called Menari, i.e. Day of Change. On the holiday, groups of men dressed in the skins of various animals (mummers), who were called Kolyada squads, walked around the courtyards. They sang hymns glorifying Kolyada and organized special round dances around sick people to heal them.

Anthem-Orthodox Praise:

At the holidays in honor of God Sventovit, competitions were held in the knowledge of Ancient Wisdom among young people. Only those young people who had already reached the Circle of Years* were allowed to compete in the knowledge of Ancient Wisdom.

* reached the Circle of Years - i.e. age 16 years.

The point of the competitions held by the Priests of Sventovit was to determine how developed the Ancestral memory, imaginative thinking, intuition, dexterity and ingenuity were in the younger generation.

At the very beginning of the competition, the Priests of Sventovit asked young people questions on various topics and riddles. The winner was the one who answered the questions faster and more wittily. more questions and riddles. Then, for the winners of the first competition, competitions were held that determined the dexterity and skill of young people in various martial arts, skill in handling a sword and knife, and accuracy in archery.

God Kupala (Kupala)

God Kupala (Kupala)- God, who gives a person the opportunity to perform all sorts of Ablutions and conducts Rituals of Cleansing the Body, Soul and Spirit from various ailments and diseases. God who guides you to a joyful and happy life.

Kupala is a cheerful and beautiful God who dresses in light white robes decorated with flowers. On the head of God Kupala there is a wreath of beautiful flowers.

Kupala was revered as the God of the warm time of Summer, wild flowers and wild fruits.

Many Slavic-Aryan Clans engaged in field farming revered God Kupala along with the Goddess Makosh and Goddess Tara, as well as the Gods Perun and Veles.

Before the start of the harvest and the collection of field fruits, a holiday was celebrated in honor of God Kupala, at which bloodless sacrifices were made to God Kupala, as well as to all the Ancient Gods and Ancestors.

On the holiday, Orthodox ancestors throw their bloodless sacrifices and demands into the fire of the Holy Swastika Altar, so that everything sacrificed appears on festive tables Gods and Ancestors.

After making bloodless sacrifices from the living fire of the Holy Swastika Altar, the community members light candles and firelights, which they fasten on wreaths and rafts and send them down the rivers.

At the same time, on a candle or fire, Orthodox ancestors from various Communities say their innermost desire or request for deliverance from illnesses, all kinds of failures, various problems, etc. This ritual can be explained as follows.

A burning candle or firelight illuminates the request or desire of the Communities, the river water remembers them and, evaporating, rises to Heaven, conveying to the Gods all the requests and desires of the Orthodox ancestors.

At the holiday, each of the Orthodox ancestors must undergo complete purification in order to begin collecting the fruits of the field and begin the field harvest. A complete cleanse consists of three parts:

First cleansing (Body cleansing). Everyone present at the holiday on God's Day Kupala must wash their body in sacred waters (rivers, lakes, reservoirs, etc.) to wash away fatigue and dirt.

Second cleansing (Cleansing of the Soul). In order for those present at the holiday on the Day of God Kupala to purify their Soul, large bonfires are lit, and everyone jumps over these bonfires, for Fire burns away all ailments and purifies the aura and Soul of a person.

Third cleansing (Purification of the Spirit). Everyone present at the holiday on God's Day Kupala, as well as those who wish, can cleanse and strengthen their Spirit. To do this, a Circle of Fire is created from the burning coals of a large fire, along which people from various Tribal, Slavic and Aryan Communities walk barefoot. Those who wish to walk through the coals for the first time in order to cleanse and strengthen their Spirit are led by the Community by the hand through the Circle of Fire.

This holiday is inextricably linked with another ancient event. In ancient times, God Perun freed his sisters from captivity in the Caucasus and sent them to purify themselves in the waters of the Holy Iriya (Irtysh) and in the Smetannoye Clean Lake (O. Zaisan). This event is also narrated in the fifth ball of Songs of the Bird Gamayun.

Due to the fact that Kupala is the Patron God of the Heavenly Palace of the Horse in the Svarog Circle, on this day it is customary to bathe horses, braid multi-colored ribbons into their manes and decorate them with wildflowers.

Anthem-Orthodox Praise:

Kupala, our Bose! Glorious and Trislaven be forever! We glorify you all the Motherland, we call you to our lands! Grant us all purification, for our Bozeh to rule! Grant to our families a bountiful harvest in the suffering fields, and full bins in our mansions. Now and ever and from Circle to Circle! So be it, so be it, so be it!

Paganism of the ancient Slavs. On the eve of the adoption of Christianity (Slavic peoples were baptized in the 9th-10th centuries), paganism reached its highest development among the Slavs. The ancient Slavs worshiped the natural elements on which their life and the work of farmers depended. The veneration of ancestors also played an important role. There were many gods. There were even more spirits with which the Slavs inhabited the entire nature around them. Different tribes especially revered different gods. But all the Slavs have long worshiped two main deities - Perun and Veles.

God Perun. An ancient Byzantine author wrote that the Slavs consider their ruler to be God, the creator of lightning. The thunder god Perun was represented as a middle-aged, strong man with a gray, silver-plated head, and a golden mustache and beard. He rode across the sky on a horse or chariot, armed with lightning, axes or arrows. Perun was the ruler of the upper part of the world - the top of the World Tree, he was the master of the sky and the mountains, he commanded the clouds and heavenly waters. It was in his power to water the earth with life-giving rain or punish it with drought or storm. Perun's arrows could hit anyone on earth.

Over time, Perun becomes the patron of the prince and his squad, their assistant in military affairs. Perun was especially revered by the East Slavic princes. Prince Vladimir the Red Sun installed a wooden image of this god with a silver head and a golden mustache in Kyiv, on a mountain next to the princely palace, and proclaimed Perun chief among the gods.

Bulls and roosters were sacrificed to Perun; they were placed near the idol of god or near the sacred oak tree. In especially important cases, when they wanted to ask God for help in defeating their enemies, human sacrifices were made to Perun. They killed captives or even fellow tribesmen by lot: “We cast lots on a boy or a maiden; Whoever it falls on, we will kill him for God’s sake.”

God Veles. No less than Perun, the ancient Slavs revered Veles (or Volos, that is, hairy, shaggy) - the “cattle god”, the patron of domestic animals, trade and wealth. The word “rich” originally meant “having God”, “enjoying the protection of God”; poor, “wretched” - on the contrary, meant “deprived of God.” In ancient times, the ancestors of the Slavs imagined Veles in the form of a huge fire-breathing Serpent. He could also take on the image of a shaggy bear; in general, he was capable of all sorts of transformations. He was considered the ruler of the underworld, the master of earthly waters.

The Slavs did not have a very clear distinction between the “occupations” of the gods. Therefore, Veles, although he was considered primarily a “cattle god,” also influenced other economic affairs. According to Slavic legends, the fertility of the land depended on it. He was close to his mother, the raw earth; abundance, fertility and wealth were in his power.

Farmers made sacrifices to the god of fertility, leaving a bush of ears of ears in the field after the harvest - “for Veles’s beard.” In honor of Veles, ritual feasts were organized - fraternities.

Apparently, Veles “was in charge” of the afterlife - the “thirtieth kingdom.” It was believed that in this distant kingdom, lying “far away, beyond the rivers and beyond the sea,” everything was made of gold - both mountains and trees. And the owner of all gold is Veles the Serpent.

If Perun eventually became Eastern Slavs patron of the prince and his squad, Veles remained the people's protector, patron of “all Rus'.” In ancient times, Veles was undoubtedly a good deity. But after accepting Christianity, giving his good traits Christian saints (Nicholas, Blasius), Veles (aka the serpent, the bear, the goblin) turned into the leader of the dark forces.

Mokosh is the only female deity among the Slavs. Perhaps she was considered the wife of Perun. Mokosh patronized women's household crafts, but also influenced fertility. Her main occupation was spinning. Of the days of the week, Friday was dedicated to Mokosha. Out of respect for the goddess, women did not spin or wash on this day. The violator of the ban faced severe punishment: the goddess could prick her with a spindle or force her to spin at night. Even after the baptism of Rus', women gathered for secret meetings, where they prayed to Mokoshi and sacrificed livestock and honey to her. Positive traits influenced by Orthodoxy pagan goddess over time they switched to Saint Paraskeva (Praskovya) Friday, and “mokoshka” began to be considered an evil spirit, a demon that inclines women to bad deeds.

Gods of fire, sun and wind. The ancient Slavs populated the upper part of the world with a whole family of solar gods. Among them, the main one was the god of fire Svarog. He gave birth to fire, which was called “svarozhich”. He, Svarog, was a heavenly blacksmith who taught people to use fire and process metals.

The son of Svarog was the sun god Dazhdbog - the giver of good, warmth, wealth. He moved across the sky on a fiery chariot. This god was considered the patron and ancestor of all inhabitants Ancient Rus', who called themselves “Dazhdboz’s grandchildren.” Khors was also a solar deity, a double of Dazhdbog. Apparently, under this name he was revered by representatives of the Iranian peoples who met among the population of southern Rus' and Kyiv. (In Iranian, the name Khors means “sun”). Next to them, another celestial being is mentioned - Stribog, the god of the wind, who spread divine goodness across the earth.

All the highest gods among the Slavs had a human form, except winged dog Simargla. The name and appearance of this god, in all likelihood, were also borrowed from the Iranian peoples, who revered the prophetic bird Simurgh. In Russian folk legends, the bird Div had a similar appearance, which, sitting on the top of a tree, screams like an animal, foreshadowing defeats and troubles.

Among the Western Slavs, the fiery Svarog was known under the name Radogost or Sventovita. He was considered their main god. Local priests turned him into a deity of war. In the Baltic city of Arkona there was a temple of Sventovit, crowned with a red roof (everything in this temple was red). The temple contained a wooden idol with four heads and a weapon dedicated to it. In his right hand, the idol held a horn, which was filled with wine every year. By the amount of the remaining drink they guessed about the future harvest. If there was little wine left, a crop failure was expected. At the temple there was a sacred white horse, which was used for fortune telling.

Zbruch idol

Pagan sanctuary. Unlike the Western Slavs, the inhabitants Eastern Europe no temple buildings were erected. Sanctuaries were built in the open air. Each tribe had its own sanctuary. Usually it was a rounded area (the sanctuary of Perun near Novgorod had the shape of a flower), around which low ramparts and ditches were built, which had no defensive significance. A wooden idol was installed in the center of the site, ritual fires were lit in front of it and sacrifices were made: grain, domestic animals.

The sanctuary of the highest gods was built in Kyiv in 980 by Prince Vladimir, trying to give it national significance: “And he placed idols on a hill outside the courtyard of the chamber: Perun wooden, and his head is silver, and his mustache is golden, and Khors, Dazhdbog, and Stribog, and Simargla and Mokosh.” The idols looked like pillars with a carved image of a human head. Unfortunately, the wooden idols have not reached us. Several stone Slavic idols are known. The most famous of them is the Zbruch idol, found in the Carpathian region. The faces of the gods were depicted schematically, roughly, and were not endowed with individual features. Ritual actions Priests-magicians, or magi, performed in the sanctuaries. Elders and princes acted as priests.

More than two thousand years ago, scientists ancient Greece and Rome knew that in the east, between the Baltic Sea and the Carpathian Mountains, numerous peoples lived with their own religion. Our ancestors lived side by side with Indo-Iranian tribes, Cimmerians, Sarmatians, Scythians, Vikings, Taurians and many other peoples. Such proximity could not but affect the religion of the Slavs, and this is how the pantheon of Slavic gods arose. The list is quite impressive; pantheon implies diversity, totality, multitude. Pagan religion did not arise spontaneously, the proximity to different peoples had a great influence on her.

Primordial gods of Slavic mythology (list)

The genus is the creator of the whole world, the progenitor of the gods and the beginning of life for everything. Beregini-Rozhanitsy - his assistants, patroness of children and the elderly, newlyweds. Guardians of the home. Bereginya-Rozhanitsa, in turn, also had assistants - a brownie, a bannik, and a barn. The symbol of the goddess is the duck.

The Slavs also believe that Rod sends souls to earth when a child is born. Rod's second name is Stribog, representing Saturday, which today is called parent's day.

Belobog

A good god with many names, he was also called Svetich, Svyatovit. Belobog gave fertility to the lands and souls of people. He was presented as a white horseman, dispelling darkness, accepting the laws of good and light.

The symbols of Belobog are a horn, a sword and a bow. The day is considered the holiday of God autumn solstice, on this day he was presented with sweet pies as a gift.

Veles

Veles is considered the guardian of antiquity, the patron saint of animals. Most often, God is represented in the form of a bear. Veles was especially revered, like all the ancient Slavic gods. The list of his knowledge is inexhaustible; he has the wisdom of his ancestors and animals. The day is his holiday. On the last night of October, our ancestors saw off their deceased relatives.

Pulp

What female Slavic gods existed? The list of names is headed by the goddess Myakosh, wife of Veles, goddess of the earth. Patronizes fertility, this and witchcraft. She is also considered a conductor between the world of the living and the world of the dead. The goddess helps housewives, imparts the ability to raise and raise children, work in the garden, field, and house, reveals healer secrets, and teaches them to understand herbs.

October 28 is considered a holiday (according to the Christian calendar, Paraskeva Friday), on this day Myakosh protects housewives and wives. One of the symbols of the goddess is a headdress with horns; her tree is aspen.

Krodo

The second name of God is Krat, the ancestor of Svarog, the lord of sacrificial fire. Patronizes sacred and sacrificial places. Crodo was represented in the image of Frost, cold and darkness follow him, they believed that God brings death with him.

Svarog

What are they, the male gods of Slavic mythology? The list is headed by Svarog, perhaps the most famous of all pagan gods. He is considered an ancestor, a progenitor. This is who gave people speech, knowledge.

This wise god is depicted sitting in a chariot, surrounded by ancestors, intelligent animals and birds. Svarog is everywhere around, you can hear, see, and touch it.

Dazhdbog

The first son of Svarog is Dazhdbog. Gives warmth and light, vitality. Patron of light and warmth. Commands the rains, gives life-giving moisture and fertility. Sunday is considered Dazhdbog's day, its stone is yakhont, and its metal is gold. The Russians considered themselves descendants of Dazhdbog, and in every house there was certainly a sign of the deity - the Solstice.

There were also kind and patient Slavic gods. The list is crowned by the goddess Lada, the patroness of love and family well-being, she protects the hearth. The symbol of the goddess is the swan and the dove; we associate these birds with fidelity, tenderness, and affection. The time of the goddess Lada is spring, the time of awakening of the spirits of nature, mermaids, mermans, and goblins.

Moraine

Morena comes from the words “haze”, “mara”, “haze”. Goddess of cold, winter, snow. Brings bitter cold, darkness, death. But this goddess is not so scary; she personifies the harsh Russian winter, which, as it were, tests people’s strength. Morena's symbols are the Moon, the lynx and the owl.

Our ancestors were very sensitive to faith; Slavic gods and their meaning were inseparable from everyday life. The list of gods is very diverse, it is difficult to divide them by seniority. Each was important, they lived side by side with each, because the gods were, as it were, symbols of nature, the elements and were inseparable from the lives of people.

Yarilo

God of youth and fertile land, lord of the sun. Some consider him one of the faces in his spring form. Its month is March, day of the week is Tuesday. Symbol - iron, stones - garnet, ruby, amber.

Perun

Perun is the god of war and thunder, lord of the elements. Thunder was perceived as the voice of Perun, lightning - his arrows. They imagined God racing across the sky in a fiery chariot, with a mace in his hands. Our ancestors believed that Perun protects the visible world from the invisible world, the navy.

Perun's day is Thursday. His holiday was celebrated on August 2 (by Orthodox calendar- day of Elijah the prophet). Of the metals, God prefers tin, his stones are sapphire and lapis lazuli.

Here, perhaps, all the main Slavic minor ones are even greater. Although it is difficult to call them secondary. Rus' is a northern land with a harsh climate, cold winds and severe frosts. And the gods of the Slavs personified the forces of nature.

Slavic pagan gods: list

Khors, Khoros - the lord of the solar disk, maintains world order. Depicted in the form of the sun. Its day is considered to be the winter solstice - December 22. According to the Slavs, on this day the old sun completed its course and gave way to the new sun, as if opening the beginning of a new year. Sunday is considered its day, and its metal is gold.

Viy

There were also dark Slavic gods. The list, perhaps, can be enumerated for a long time; the struggle between good and evil has always occurred. The personification of dark forces is Viy, the god of the underworld, the ruler of sinners. According to legend, Viy had a deadly gaze; not a single person could withstand it. They imagined him in the form of an old man with huge heavy eyelids that he could not lift on his own. The legend of Viya was preserved in Gogol’s story, and later a film was made based on it.

Kolyada

Kolyada, the son of Dazhdbog, embodies the New Year's cycle, he is a festive god. Symbolizes the departure of the old and the arrival of the new year. The celebration of Kolyada began on December 20, and with that began the festive ritual dedicated to God - Kolyadki.

Midday

There were also humorous, playful Slavic gods; the list is headed by Poludnitsa, the goddess of Slavic myths. She appeared in the form of a playful spirit. They believed that she was fooling travelers, putting them in a dark place. It was also Poludnitsa’s responsibility to ensure that no one worked at noon. She severely punished those who violated the ban, and could tickle them to death.

So, we can conclude that the gods were not good or bad. They were the personification of nature and the surrounding world, in all its manifestations. Each god had two hypostases. So, for example, Yarilo gives warmth, warms the earth, but on occasion it can also punish (sunstroke). The moraine, although it brings cold and severe cold, has helped Rus' more than once; for example, the cold stopped Napoleon’s troops in 1812, and during the Great Patriotic War it significantly complicated the movements of Hitler’s troops. You can also recall the Russian folk tale, where Frost generously gave good girl and punished the bad one. Not all Slavic gods are listed here; it is quite difficult to compile a list. Each phenomenon, each aspect of life had its own deity, who was responsible not only for its space, but also for life as a whole.

More than two thousand years ago, scientists of ancient Greece and Rome knew that in the east, between the Baltic Sea and the Carpathian Mountains, numerous peoples lived with their own religion. Our ancestors lived side by side with Indo-Iranian tribes, Cimmerians, Sarmatians, Scythians, Vikings, Taurians and many other peoples. Such proximity could not but affect the religion of the Slavs, and this is how the pantheon of Slavic gods arose. The list is quite impressive; pantheon implies diversity, totality, multitude. The pagan religion did not arise spontaneously; the proximity to various peoples had a great influence on it.

The genus is the creator of the whole world, the progenitor of the gods and the beginning of life for everything. Beregini-Rozhanitsy - his assistant, patroness of children and the elderly, newlyweds. Guardians of the home. Bereginya-Rozhanitsa, in turn, also had assistants - a brownie, a bannik, and a barn. The symbol of the goddess is the duck.

Rod is considered the god of fertility; the Slavs also believed that Rod sends souls to earth when a child is born. Rod's second name is Stribog, representing Saturday, which today is called parent's day.

Belobog

A good god with many names, he was also called Svetich, Svyatovit. Belobog gave fertility to the lands and souls of people. He was presented as a white horseman, dispelling darkness, accepting the laws of good and light.

The symbols of Belobog are a horn, a sword and a bow. The day of the autumn solstice is considered the holiday of God; on this day, sweet pies were presented to him as a gift.

Veles

The list of his knowledge is inexhaustible; he has the wisdom of his ancestors and animals. All Souls' Day is his holiday. On the last night of October, our ancestors saw off their deceased relatives.

Pulp

What female Slavic gods existed? The list of names is headed by the goddess Myakosh, wife of Veles, goddess of the earth. Patronizes fertility, she is the goddess of fate and witchcraft. She is also considered a conductor between the world of the living and the world of the dead.

What are they, the male gods of Slavic mythology? The list is headed by Svarog, perhaps the most famous of all pagan gods. He is considered an ancestor, a progenitor. This is the sun god who gave people speech and knowledge.

This wise god is depicted sitting in a chariot, surrounded by ancestors, intelligent animals and birds. Svarog is everywhere around, you can hear, see, and touch it.

There were also kind and patient Slavic gods. The list is crowned by the goddess Lada, the patroness of love and family well-being; she protects the hearth. The symbol of the goddess is the swan and the dove; we associate these birds with fidelity, tenderness, and affection. The time of the goddess Lada is spring, the time of awakening of the spirits of nature, mermaids, mermans, and goblins.

Moraine

Morena comes from the words “haze”, “mara”, “haze”. Goddess of cold, winter, snow. Brings bitter cold, darkness, death. But this goddess is not so scary; she personifies the harsh Russian winter, which, as it were, tests people’s strength. Morena's symbols are the Moon, the lynx and the owl.

Our ancestors were very sensitive to faith; Slavic gods and their meaning were inseparable from everyday life. The list of gods is very diverse, it is difficult to divide them by seniority. Each was important, they lived side by side with each, because the gods were, as it were, symbols of nature, the elements and were inseparable from the lives of people.
