Slavic mythology

Slavs' ancient beliefs

Slavic mythology is the traditional belief system of Slavic peoples before Christianization, featuring nature spirits, ancestor worship, and gods like Perun (thunder) and Veles (underworld).

Much was lost to conversion, leaving fragmentary records reconstructed from folklore, place names, and later chronicles.

The ritual has roots in Slavic mythology.
