It feels odd for the lady of winter to not have any traditions associated with her, except for the drowning.

But I struggle finding anything.

It seems to me that a goddess of harsh, Polish or Russian etc. winter, would at least have some "please spare us" sacrifices or other rituals to her name.

Hi, sorry for the bad title, couldn't think of how to formulate it better..

So I am looking for a character or whatever similar that would be akin to "Executioner of Peruns will". So something like a right hand sent to make things happen. In lack of a better way of describing, think of Jesus but in a more militant/battle setting. If there is something like that that is not Peruns but for some other deity (even in other mythoi, not only slavic) I would love to know.

thanks and cheers!

Different both in mythology and in perception.

Hii, I’ve recently gotten interested in Slavic mythology and I was wondering if there was a family tree to see which gods are related (from what I’ve seen it’s quite messy so there probably isn’t a definitive one)

I saw on some places that he was mentioned as sea god of Slavs or some of their tribes. I wonder if he really existed or it is a new made-up myth, since Veles is already seen as god of the water and his realm was beyond the sea.

Or maybe he existed when Slavs migrated to the Baltic and Mediterranean sea, e.g. Narentines of Pagania in Dalmatian region.

Here my question is if Romania is a slavic country because it is located in Eastern Europe, I ask because vampires are from Slavic mythology but normally the myth of vampires is more popularized in Romania due to the legend of Count Dracula / Vlad the Impaler.

Is there any mention of types of clothes which they wore? For example, did the war-like deities wear warrior uniforms like the Slavic tribes?

I recently got into Darkwood as my introduction to slavic horror. I really liked the themes and general feel. Its given me inspiration for a costume I want to run for my local rennaiseance fair. I was wondering if someone could recommend some sources on mythology and occultism unique to slavic culture to help research my design for the costume
