To write down all the pagan and Slavic gods. Pagan Slavic gods

The Old Slavic Pantheon is very complex in its structure and is numerous in composition. Most of the gods were identified with various forces of nature, although there were exceptions, the most striking example of which is the genus - God Creator. Due to the similarity of the functions and properties of some gods, it is difficult for sure to determine which names are only variations of the names of the same God, and which belong to different gods.

The entire pantheon can be divided into two large circles: the elder gods that have ruled all three worlds in the pristine stage, and the second round - the young gods who took the brazers of the board in the new stage. At the same time, one senior gods are present in the new stage, while others disappear (more precisely there are no descriptions of their activities or interference in anything, but the memory of what they were, remains).

In the Slavic Pantheon there was no clear hierarchy of the authorities, which was replaced by a generic hierarchy, where the sons obeyed the father, but the brothers were equal to each other. Slavs did not have pronounced evil gods and good gods. Some of the deities granted life, others were taken, but everyone was worshiped equally, since Slavs believed that the existence of one without another was impossible. At the same time, the good gods could roe the good effects and harm, and evil on the contrary to help and save people. Thus, the gods of the ancient Slavs were very similar to people not only externally, but also in nature, since both good and evil in themselves.

Externally, the gods were like people, while most of them could turn into animals in the image of which they usually appeared before people. The ordinary creatures of the gods were distinguished by superposts, which allowed the Divities to change the world around. Each of the gods possessed power over one of the parts of this world. The impact on other parts of non-luxury deities were limited and was temporary.

The most ancient supreme male deity from Slavs was a genus. Already in Christian teachings against paganism of the XII-XIII centuries. About the way they write as God who worshiped all nations.

The genus was the God of Heaven, thunderstorms, fertility. He was told about him that he was going on the cloud, rain moon to Earth, and children were born. He was the Lord of the Earth and all the living, was the pagan God-Creator.

In Slavic languages, the root "Rod" means kinship, birth, water (spring), profit (harvest), such concepts as the people and their homeland, in addition, he means red and zipper, especially a ball called "Rhodium". This variety of single-colored words, undoubtedly, proves the greatness of the pagan God.

Rod is God-Creator, together with his sons Belboga and Chernobog, he created this world. Alone, the genus created in the sea chaos right, Jaw and Nav, and, together with his sons, created the earth.

The sun came out then from his face. The month is light - from his chest. Stars are frequent - from his eyes. Zori clear - from his eyebrows. Nights are dark - yes from the spirit of it. Buus winds - from breathing ...

"Book of strides"

The Slavs had no ideas about the appearance of the genus, since he never immediately in front of people.

The Kapieche in honor of the Divine was arranged on the hills or just large open areas of the Earth. His idol had a phallic form or simply performed in the form of a column painted in red. Sometimes the role of idol and at all performed the usual tree growing on the hill, especially if it was fairly ancient. In general, the Slavs believed that the genus is in everything and therefore he can worship anywhere. There were no sacrifices in honor of the kind. Instead, holidays and feasts are arranged, which are carried out directly near the idol.

The satellites of the genus were the genoven-women's fertility fertility in Slavic mythology, patroness of the kind, family, homemade hearth.

Belbog

Son of the kind, God of Light, Good and Justice. In Slavic mythology is the creator of the world with a family and black. Externally, Belboga was presented in the form of a gray-haired elder, dressed as Magi.

Beloboga in the mythology of our ancestors never acted as an independent single character. Both any object in the world of Javi has a shadow and Beloboga has its integral antipode - black. A similar analogy can be found in the ancient Chinese philosophy (Yin and Yang), in the Ingliament of Icelanders (Rune Yuj) and in many other cultural and religious systems. Belobogo, thus, becomes the embodiment of bright human ideals: good, honor and justice.

The sanctuary in honor of Belbog was arranged on the hills, turning the idol to face the east, towards the sunrise. However, the Belboga was read not only in the sanctuary of the Divine, but also in the peaks, necessarily pronounce the toast in his honor.

Veles.

One of the greatest gods of the ancient world, the son of the family, the brother of the Svarog. His main act was the fact that Veles led the world created by the family and weld. Veles - "Cotiona God" - the owner of the wildlife, the owner of Navi, the mighty wizard and the waswolf, the interpreter of laws, the teacher of the arts, the patron of travelers and the vessels, God of good luck. True, some sources point to it, as in the God of death ...

At the moment, among the various pagan and spring directions, a fairly popular text is Velesov the book, which became known to the general public in the 1950s of the last century thanks to the researcher and writer Yuri Mirolyubov. Velesova The book actually represents 35 birch powder, made by symbols, which language scholars (in particular, A. Kur and S. Forest) are called Slavic Docyrillic writing. It is curious that the original text really does not look like a Cyrillic, nor on the verbs, but also the features of the Slavic Runnica are represented in it indirectly.

Despite the large distribution and massive reverence of this God, Veles was always separated from the rest of the gods, his idols were never put in common capital (sacred places in which images of the basic gods of this territory).

With the way, two animals are associated with the way: a bull and a bear, in the popsies dedicated to the deity of Magi, often kept the bear, who played a key role in the rituals conducted.

Dazhibogog.

The God of the Sun, the head of the heat and the world, the God of fertility and the lifeful strength. The symbol of the Dazhbog invoko was considered a sun disc. His color is gold, speaking about the nobility of this God and his unshakable strength. In general, our ancestors had three main solar deities - Horsa, Yaril and Dazhibog. But Horse was the Sun Winter, Yarilo - Spring, and Dazhbog - Summer. Of course, Dazhibog deserved special respect, because of the summer position of the Sun on the heavenly arch for the ancient Slavs, the people of the landpashers, depended very much. At the same time, Dazhbog never knew a steep temper, and if drought suddenly attacked, then this god our ancestors never vinyl.

Dazhbog's capital was arranged on the hills. The idol was made of wood and put the face east or southeast. As a gift, the deity brought feathers of ducks, swans and geese, as well as honey, nuts and apples.

Devan

Devan - the goddess of the hunt, the wife of the Forests of Svyazbor and daughter Perun. Slavs represented the goddess in the form of a beautiful girl, dressed in an elegant kunny coat, confused by a squirrel. On top of the fur coat, the beauty worked the skin with a bearish, and the head of the beast served her a hat. The daughter of Perun was an excellent bow with arrows, a sharp knife and hergatine, which is going to the bear.

A wonderful goddess not only hunted on forest animals: she herself taught them how to avoid dangers and transfer harsh winters.

To Devan, first of all, honored hunters and hunting, they prayed the goddess to give good luck in the hunt, and in gratitude they brought part of their prey to its sanctuary. It was believed that it was she who helped find the secret trails of animals in a dense forest, to avoid shacks with wolves and bears, well, if the meeting still took place, to leave a person from her the winner.

Share and underworld - not just the personification of abstract concepts that have no objective being, but by contrast - live persons identical to the devies of fate.

The stroller was dedicated to the New Year's days, the players were arranged in her honor, those who later were tested on the sagnes. The last patriarch ban on the worship of the wheelchair was published on December 24, 1684.

Cloud fabric There is exactly the peselle, on which the soul, by the death of a person, is asked to the kingdom of blissful.

According to the testimony of folk poems, the angels, being for the righteous soul, take it on the veil and carry on the sky. Frei-Sivi's cult is explained by superstitious respect, powered by Russian commoners to Friday, like a day dedicated to this goddess. Who on Friday starts the case, in that, according to the proverb, will be puzzled.

In the ancient Slavs Berez, who personified the goddess of Lada, was considered a sacred tree.

He had his temples. Having gathered against the enemies, the Slavs prayed to him, asking for help and promising in case of good luck in military actions.

Lel

Lel- in the mythology of the ancient Slavs God of love passion, the son of the goddess of beauty and love of the Lada. About the Lele - this is a merry, frivolous god of passion - still reminds the word "cherish", that is, the undead, love. He is the son of the Goddess of Beauty and Love Lady, and beauty, naturally, gives rise to passion. Especially brightly, this feeling flashed in spring and in a bathing night. Lelle was depicted in the form of a chille as a mother, a winged baby: after all, love is free and elusive. Lel Metal from the hands of Spark: After all, passion is fiery, hot love!

Its name is made up of two parts: "Ma" - mother and "Kosh" - a walker, a basket, a koshara. Mankos - mother filled with wives, mother of good crop.

This is not a goddess of fertility, but the goddess of the outcome of the economic year, the goddess of the harvest, the granitor of the goods. Vintage is defined every year, fate, so it was still honored as the goddess of fate. Mandatory attribute with its image - a horn of abundance.

This goddess associated the abstract concept of fate with a specific concept of abundance, patronized with household, streamed sheep, nailed, punished negligent. The concrete concept of "sparkle" was associated with metaphorical: "Spinning of Fate."

Makos patronized marriage and family happiness. It appeared as a woman with a big head and long hands, hiding at night in the hut: Belutors are forbidden to leave the Cuppe, "and then Makosha will give up."

Moraine

Moraine (Maran, Moragan, Mara, Maruha, Marmara) - the goddess of death, winter and nights.

Mara is the goddess of death, daughter of Lada. Outwardly, Mara looks like a high beautiful girl with black hair in red clothes. Maru can not be called an evil and good goddess. On the one hand she grants death, but at the same time she gives life.

One of the favorite classes of Mary is a needlework: she loves to spin and weave. At the same time, like Greek Moi, the fate of living beings for the needlework of the threads, taking them to the turning point in life, and, in the end, cutting the thread of existence.

Mara sends over the world of his envoys, who are people in the appearance of a woman with long black hair or in the appearance of the twins of people who are intended for warning, and foreshadow about early death.

In part of the Mary did not build permanent places of worship, it was possible to post anyone anywhere. To do this, an image of a goddess carved from a tree was installed on Earth, or made of straw, around the place was blocked by stones. Immediately in front of the idol installed a larger stone or a wooden plank, which served as an altar. After the rite, it all disassembled, and the image of Mary was lighted, or dropped into the river.

I worshiped Maru on February 15, and as a gift, the goddess of death brought flowers, straw and various fruits. Sometimes, during the years of strong epidemics, they were sacrificed by animals, putting blood to them directly at the altar.

Meeting the spring with a solemn holiday, the Slavs committed a rite of expulsion of death or winter and plunged the stuffed morals. As a representative of Winter, Moran wins Spring Perun, who brings themselves with his blacksmith hammer and all summer time will fall into the underground dungeon.

According to the identification of death with thunderstorms, the ancient belief made these latter fulfill its sad duty. But since the Romelnik and his companions were both the organizers of the Heavenly Kingdom, the concept of death was rapidly, and the fantasy portrayed her by the creature evil, fond of the souls into the underground world, then the Messenger of the Supreme Divine, accompanying the soul of the deceased heroes in his heavenly character.

Diseases were considered by our ancestors as a sopper and the assistants of death.

Perun.

God-rod, the deity of the victorious, punishing, whose phenomenon excites fear and thrill. Perun, in Slavic mythology is the most famous from the Sagrazhichi brothers. He is the God of thunderstorms, thunder and lightning.

It is represented by state, high height, with black hair and a long golden beard. By recreation on the flame chariot, he travels around the sky, armed with onions and arrows, and brings the wicked.

According to the testimony of Nesor, the wooden idol of Perun, delivered in Kiev, had a gold mustache on a silver head. The Peunun time became the patron of Prince and his squad.

The Kapiep in honor of Perun was always suitable on the hills, and the highest place in the district was chosen. Idols were made predominantly out of oak - this mighty tree was a symbol of Perun. Sometimes there were places for the worship of Perun, arranged around the growing oak hill, it was believed that the Perun himself denotes the best place. In such places, no additional idols were put, and the oak, located on the hill, was revered as an idol.

Radgast

Radiast (Radigity, Radigast) is a lightning god, a murderer and a clouds, and at the same time the light guest, which is with the return of spring. The earthly flame was recognized as the son of the sky, a declared share, as a gift, long-faced lightning, and therefore the idea of \u200b\u200bthe honorary divine guest, the aliens from heaven on Earth also connected with him.

Russians are honored with his guest name. At the same time, he received the character of the god-savisher of any interemphenica (guest), which was in someone else's house and defended local fenats (ie, the focus), a patron God who came from the distant countries of merchants and in general trade.

The Slavic Radia was depicted with a buffalo head on his chest.

Svaloga

Svarog-God-creator of the Earth and Heaven. Svarog - source of fire and its lord. He does not create a word, no magic, unlike the Veles, and his hands, he creates the material world. He gave people to the sun and fire. Svarog dropped a plow and yarm from the sky to cultivate the Earth; A combat sequir to protect this land from enemies, and a bowl for cooking a sacred drink.

Like the genus, the Svarog is God Creator, he continued the formation of this world by changing his original state, improving and expanding. However, the famous exercise of the Svat is a blacksmithing business.

The Kapieche in honor of the Svary was arranged on the hills, cropped trees or shrubs. The hill center was purified to the ground and the bonfire was divorced at this place, additionally idols in the chapter was not installed.

Svyazbor.

Svyazbor - God of Forest. Externally, it looks like a generic bogatyr, representing the old man of a strong physique having a thick beard and dressed in animal skins

Svyazbor violently protects forests and mercilessly punishes those who harm them, in some cases, even death or perpetual conclusion in the forest in the appearance of the beast or wood can be punished.

He is married to Svyazbor on the goddess of the hunt of Devan.

The Kapic in honor of Svyazhobor was not suitable, their role was carried out by groves, bors and forests, which were recognized by the sacred and in which no cutting down of the forest was carried out, nor the hunt.

SEMARGL

One of the welded was the god of fire - SEMARGL, who sometimes, by mistake, consider only the heavenly dog, the guardian of seeds for sowing. This (storage of seeds) was constantly engaged in a much petty deity - we are transferred.

In the ancient books of Slavs, it is told about how Semargl was born. Svarog hit the magic hammer about the Stone Alatyr, the divine sparks that broke out, and the Fire God of Semargl became visible in their flame. He recresented at the Zlatogrivy Kone of Silver Maste. Thick smoke became his banner. Where SMARGL passed, remained the burned footprint. That was he in force, but more often looked quiet and peaceful.

SEMARGL, God of fire and the moon, fiery sacrifices, houses and hearth, keeps seeds and crops. May be turned on the sacred winged dog.

For now, the name of the fire of fire is most likely, his name is so holy. Still, because this god lives not somewhere in the seventh heaven, but directly among the people! His name is trying less often to say out loud by replacing allegoryrs. With fire Slavs bind the emergence of people. According to some legends, the gods made a man and a woman of two sticks, between which the fire was flared up - the very first flame of love. SEMARGL does not allow evil into the world. At night, he stands on guard with a fiery sword and only one day in a year SEMARGL comes from his post, responding to the call of a swimsuit, who calls him on love games on the day of autumn equinox. And on the day of the summer solstice, after 9 months, the children are born in the semarlang and swimsuits - Kostroma and caught.

Striboga

In the East Slavic mythology, the God of Wind. It can cause and tame a storm and can turn around with his assistant, the mythical bird is stirred. In general, the wind was usually represented in the image of a gray-haired old man who lives on the edge of the world, in the deaf forest or on the island in the middle of the sea-opaire.

The Kapieche of the Striboga arranged on the banks of the rivers or seas, especially often they are found in the mouths of the rivers. The Kapigih in his honor did not fend away from the surrounding area and were designated only to the idol made from the tree, which was established by the North. In front of the idol also watered a large stone, which served as an altar.

Triglav

In the Old Slavic mythology, this is the unity of the three main entities of the IPostasiy gods: Svaroga (Creation), Perun (Law Rights) and Svyatovitis (Light)

According to various mythological traditions in Triglav included different gods. In Novgorod, the 9th century, the Great Triglav consisted of Svarog, Perun and Snovet, and earlier (before relocation to the Novgorod lands of Western Slavs) - from Svarog, Perun and Veles. In Kiev, apparently - from Perun, dazhbog and striboga.

Small triglavs were made up of the gods facing the hierarchical staircase.

Horse

Horse (Korah, Kore, Korsh) - the Old Russian deity of the sun and the sun disc. It is known most of the Southeast Slavs, where the sun just reigns over the rest of the world. Horse, in the Slavic mythology, the god of the sun, the keeper of the shine, the son of the genus, Brother Veles. Not all the gods from Slavs and Rusov were common. For example, before the arrival on the shores of the Dnieper Rusov did not know Horse here. Only Prince Vladimir set his image next to Perun. But it was known from other Aryan peoples: among the Iranians, Persians, Zoroastria, where the god of the rising sun was worshiped - Horset. This word was and wider importance - "radiance", "glitter", as well as "glory", "greatness", sometimes "royal dignity" and even "Hvern" is a special marketer of gods, chosenness.

The Khorosha Khoros arranged on small elevations in the middle of meadows or small groves. The idol was made of wood and installed on the eastern slope of the hill. And as a sentence, a special cake "good" or "Kurni", which crumbled around the idol was used. But to a greater extent, dancing (dances) and songs were used to take the departure of Horsu.

Chernobog

God of cold, destruction, death, evil; God madness and the incarnation of all bad and black. It is believed that the black-prototype of a snatch of the immortal from fairy tales. The cult character of Slavic mythology, whose folklore image is extremely far from the original. Kashing Chernobogvich was the youngest son of a black bog, the Great Snake Darkness. His older brothers - Goryn and Viy - were afraid and respected by the silence for great wisdom and as great hatred of the enemies of the Father - the Iriendian gods. Hading owned the deepest and gloomy kingdom of Navi - by the Koshchev kingdom,

Chernobogo - Ruler Navi, God of time, Son of the kind. In Slavic mythology, he is the creator of the world along with the family and Belbog. Outwardly appeared in two hypostasses: in the first he looked like a sloped thin old man with a long beard, silver mustache and a curve stick in her hands; In the second, he was depicted as a man of middle-yard-free physique, dressed in black clothes, but, again, with silver mustache.

Armed with a black sword, who owns masterfully. Although it is able to instantly be at any point Navi, it prefers to move on a fiery stallion.

After the creation of the world, Chernobogu for the patronage went to Nav, the world of the dead, in which he is at the same time the ruler and prisoner, because, despite its entire strength, he is not able to leave it. The Divine does not produce from Navi the souls of people who came there for sins, but the sphere of his influence is not limited to one. Chernobog managed to bypass the restrictions imposed on him and created Koshiya, which is the embodiment of the ruler Navi in \u200b\u200bJavi, while the power of God in another world is significant less real, but still allowed to spread its influence and on the point, and only in the gun the blacks never appears.

The Kapic in honor of the blacks was made from dark rocks of the stone, the wooden idol was completely offended by iron, except for the head, on which the metal was finished only a mustache.

Yaril

Yarilo is the God of Spring and Sunlight. Outwardly, Yarilo looks like a young young man with red hair, dressed in white clothes with a flower wreath on her head. This god moves through the light top on the white horse.

The Kapieche in honor of Yaril was arranged on top of hills, cropped trees. The tops of the hills were purified from vegetation and at this place was erected an idol, in front of which a large white stone was installed, which could sometimes be at the foot of the hill. Unlike most other gods, there were no sacrifices in honor of God. Usually, the deity was read by songs and dances on the temple. At the same time, one of the participants of the action certainly dressed in Yarloy, after which he became the center of the entire festival. Sometimes they made special figures in the image of people, they were brought to the temple, and then broke the white stone installed there, it is believed that it brings the blessing of Yaril, from which the crop will be greater, and the sexual energy is higher.

A little about the world order of Slavs

The center of the world for the ancient Slavs was a global tree (world tree, the tree of the world). It is the central axis of all the universe, including the Earth, and connects the world of people with the world of gods and the underground world. Accordingly, Krone Tree reaches the world of the gods in heaven - Irium or Svarga, the roots of the tree go under the ground and connect the world of gods and the world of people with the underground world or the world of the dead, which is ruled by Chernobog, Maren and other "Dark" gods. Somewhere in the embroidery, behind the clouds (heavenly hlybami; over the seventh sky), the crown of a sprawling tree forms the island, here is the Iri (Slavic paradise), where not only the gods and ancestors of people live, but also the progenitors of all birds and animals. Thus, the tree of the world was fundamental in the world of Slavs, its main component. At the same time, this is also a staircase, the road at which you can get into any of the worlds. In the Slavic folklore, the tree of the world is called differently. It may be oak, and Yavor, Iva, Lipa, Kalina, cherry, apple tree or pine.

In the ideas of the ancient Slavs, the world tree is located on the island of Buyan on Alatyr-stone, which is also the center of the Universe (the center of the Earth). Judging by some legends, bright gods live on its branches, and dark gods in the roots. The image of this tree reached us, as in the image of various fairy tales, tales, epic, conspiracies, songs, riddles and the form of ritual embroidery on the clothes, patterns, decorations of ceramics, painting dishes, chests, etc. Here is an example of how the tree of the world is described in one of the Slavic folk fairy tales, which occaned the hero of the Hero-hero: "... The copper pillar is worth it, and the horse is tied for him, on the sides of the pure stars, the month is shining on the sides, during Lear Red Sun ... ". This horse is the mythological symbol of the whole Universe

Of course, in one post, do not cover all the gods that our ancestors worshiped. At various branches of the Slavs, the same gods were called differently, there were also their "local" deities.

For the first time, this series was published in the Kirovograd magazine "Threshold", here it is represented in even fullest. Then the arch was published by us in the book D. Gavrilov, A. Hagovitsyh. "The gods of Slavyan. Paganism. Tradition ", - M.:" Refl-Beech ", 2002. 464 p.

A distinctive feature of this appearance is that it is tied to the dates of the pagan folk calendar. It should be considered, however, that all dates are given for the middle strip of Russia and may vary depending on the latitude and longitude of the celebration. Added quotes from a number of previously inaccessible Western medieval primary sources for the beliefs of Slavs.

We mention and such a curious hypothesis of the Sergey Pivovarov researcher - saint - from the "Bere Circle" that Pantheon could not exceed 33 of the true names of the gods. This is a sacred number for the Vedic Tradition.

Then it remains to suggest that the part of the gods mentioned below is Hati (allegorical remembrance), so the goddess-Mother could have "pseudonyms" of Lada, Enviation, Rozhanitsa, Koruna, Karna ... And the Goddess-Daughter could have Hati - Lelia, Rozhen, Just, Fland ...

The first, oldest gods and gods

1. Rod and Rozhitsy

The genus, one, the ancestor of the gods and the Creator of the world, "Almighty, and the same one is immaterial and unambiguous Creator, the Danube of the man on the face of the Spirit of Life, and there is a person in a soul to live: I don't give birth, gray on the pussy, mosque to the ground piles - And the children are wounded ... ", mention, for example, in the teachings against the pagan" On the inspiration of the Holy Spirit "," the word about idols "," The Word of Isaiah Prophet ", the manuscript of Mini from the ancient Russian confessor. Perhaps how the striborn is, i.e. Stry (old) God-Father will be mentioned in the "Word about the regiment of Igor" and Russian chronicles, as well as God in the Rusov Rus agreements. Helmold reported: "Among the diverse deities, which they dedicate fields, forests, sorrow and joy they (Slavs) recognize the one God who dominates them in heaven, recognize that he is almighty, cares only about the affairs of heaven, other gods will obey him Perform the responsibilities assigned to them, and that they are from the blood of it and each of them is the more important, the closer it is to this God God. " So the "god of the gods" from the Western Slavs refer to the Snovet, most likely, this is one of the main hypostasis of the genus.

"That things are the Boyan and the first gyrob, meaningful, spectable:" Hy Hytra, nor a far, nor tortucy, the Court of God of God, not least. " It would be ridiculous if the grandson of Welleles turned to another court, except the pagan, Velesov Lee or the court of the genus. We assume that and here under the name of God hiding just a genus. The genus accompany the births. In the "Questions of Kirika", the monument of the literature of the XII century: "Insechen the genus and the rolleritz paint breads and sipes and honey ...", somehow related to fate. Probably, if the genus is called by the court, then the rolleries - sudinitsa - and most importantly, with the posthumous life of the pagan, the reincarnation of the "male principle" through the "female".

Sometimes there are only one Genzhal: "Halfing of the Element of the Cleasta of the demands of Ateremit and Artemis, the Raves and the Godnica, the same than the game. Torjo and to Slave Damid Ce Words, and we have begun to put the genus and Giving births, ... and Echupetny Reques are put by Hail and Firnev, the recruitment of the frorta and the plant. In bright hypostasis, the genus is compared with Apollo-ATremid (Artemide): "Artemy, the southell nine to give birth." It is curious that Szreznevsky spends the word "GEEN, Fire Non-2013" as synonymous to "Roda". The genus in the stems is opposed to the Christian God, that is, it is equivalent to his opponent, Satan, equal to him in "appointment": "That, others, they serve God and the will do it, and not the family, neither the guineans, idiot, and you sing Songsian Rhodew and Hoeers. Many people believe in Rozhnica (see), although it is never referred to themselves so. Yachno that Genznica - the Virgin of Life and Fate, who "with Robin First Hair Strigut and Baba Cashie Cookies to the Romena Meeting", and people still in the 13th century "Concepts of Trapezow's Razhanets and Performance Gippania" "And the sheep of Belong rather than guy "" MANAGE MANUFACE GOZHNIZAM I Other all the d'avola serves "

In the sixteenth century in the "Charter of Reverend Sava" we find such a confessional question: "Didn't listened to the women with Baba, whether Vilam, or the genus and Rozenians, and Purun, and Horsos, and Mokoshi, saw and eaten?"

Modern pagans put idols in the form of wooden phallic symbols stained in red. It may be just a stone thorah, which has analogues in India, where the phallic ling symbolizes Rudra. The idols are always put on an open place and the higher - the better. For the manufacture of idols, it is best to use beech, elm, ash, but since the trees are rare, then it is proposed to replace them with a maple.

Requires of the genus still unconsciously bring in the form of "Easter eggs" on the graves of ancestors. Special honoring of the family falls on April 21 (Orthodox Rodion-ice). This holiday is called a papanly joyful, commemorates the welded itself as a solar deity.

2. Striborn, Street, Streb

God-Father, Stry, old God, grandfather's grandfather (probably, can be correlated with the Indian God of Rudra), will be mentioned in the "Word about the regiment of Igor" ("Bez Wind, Strebazhih in the end of the Igor's brave"), In the Russian chronicles, in the negotiating of Strykovsky "The Word of John Zlotoust ... Aso, the first goal believed in the idols and demands to them ..." Speaks about him as the deity of heaven, air and wind. Probably one of the names of the genus or side of the kind as the father of the gods. Thinks through the wind life (spirit) in human body. His day is Saturday. He is randomly, Saturday - parental day, Satros Day - Saturn, parents of the gods.

In later sources, depicted in the form of a single head, acquiring the chtonic features of the type Viya. A description of the pagan church in the Kiev land of the 16th century, the two era of the dual man, is known.

Linked to the lunar cult, constant commemoration of the striboga next to Dazhibogogo - solar deity, brings out this idea that the old God is inferior to the young man, and the month is the Red to the Sun: "The Kumir Sacrifice is ... Believe a stribling, Dazhbog and transfer it, pyut in ripples "

Maybe one of the heralds of the stribling - strife. The pagan celebration directly the striboga had probably on the first day of the last summer month. A new style is August 21. A threatened calendar in these days is replete with proverbs in parts of the winds - the grandchildren of the striboga: "The windows dust hit the white light, grumbled in the rubel. "Mironi winds dust in light drive, about red summer moan."

3. Light and / or Belobog

Svantevit - Javius \u200b\u200b("kind") God, God fertility according to the Czech medieval dictionary "Mater Verborum" - "Ares, Bellum", "Mavors: Mavortem Poete Dicunt Martem", where he is likened to also God of war Aresu. In the same source: "Belboh: Belbog - Beel, Baal."

God, opposing his blackbear, one of the parties of the kind.

Svetnit, Svyatnit, Lightovik, Svetich - God of White Light, the Supreme God of the West Slavic Pantheon, God-rider, fighting with Darkness. Mentioned in the "Slavic Chronicle" of Helmold, described in detail from Saxon Grammar in "Acts of Danov", as the main god, "God of Gods", "the most convincing responses". It is he who is most often meant by the name Belobogu in Slavs, functionally correlate with Apollo, i.e. Thus, ATremid Artemid, Brother Artemis-Genuineers. "Hence the evil God of the Devil and Chernobogo, that is, the Black God, good Belbog, that is, the White God called. The figure of this idol, carved in stone, can be understood on Ruyang, on the Vitt Peninsula, in the people here as Wittold, as if "Ancient Wit." With a big head, a thick beard, he looks a monster than a fictional God "(" History of the Kamensky Diocese ", 17th century). And the century was previously reported: "An image of an idol rudded, carved on a stone, can be seen in the village of Altenkirchen, in the sequence of the temple. More similar to the monstrous evil demon than in any God; The former inhabitants of the island called him the Svyatolit, the current Witold. " (David Khitreus. Saxon Chronicle, 16th century). Thus, lightness and white - this is the same essence, but under the different names of a single good God.

Comparing the Black and White Gods Peter Albin in the "Missaian Chronicle" (1590) testifies to another name of the God of Light: "XI. Chernobog was black God; Like Yutobogo - God Dawn. Properly, I wore a similar God, which probably meant the morning dawn. "

Svetnit is a predictor and a groove of terrestrial goods - yields, Arkon's sanctuary is famous for the fact that the priests predict the future (guessing the horse and horn).

Arkonsky Kumiru, according to Saxon grammar, "gave tribute to the whole Slavic land." About rugs or ruins at Helmold in the "Slavic Chronicle", which belonged to the Temple of Swamps, was reported as a tribe, which enjoys the greatest respect in other Slavs, the priests were honored out above the prince, and without solving rugs close to the gods, nothing was taken in Public affairs according to Adam Bremensky. It can be assumed that he is a lawmaking, like Apollo among the Greeks. Franzel talks about him as about "De Svantevito, Deo Soraborum Slavorumque Supremo"

Svetnit is identified with a four-year image of the top tier of Zbruch idol. The same image of Snoveta stood in the famous temple in the city of Arcona. Kumir extermined by the bishop Absalon in 1168

Sakson Grammar writes: "The city of Arcona lies on top of a high cliff; From the north, the East and the South fenced with natural protection ... From the west side, protects its high embankment in 50 elbows ... In the middle of the city there is an open area at which a wooden temple is towering, wonderful work, but the venerable is not so much the magnificence of architecture, as much as the greatness of God Here the idol is erected here. The entire outer side of the building shone skillfully made bas-reliefs of various figures, but ugly and roughly painted. Only one entrance was inside the temple, surrounded by a double fence ... In the temple itself, there was a big, superior growth of human, idol, with four heads, on the same necks, of which two came out of the chest and two - to the ridge, but so Ove one front and both rear heads one watched to the right, and the other - left. The hair and beard were triggered shortly, and in this, it seemed, the artist corresponded with the usual Ruyan. In the right hand, the idol held a horn from various metals, which every year it was commonly filled with the hand of priests for fortune telling about the fertility of next year; The left hand was likened onions. The outerwear came down to the berston, which were composed of various varieties of trees and so skillfully were connected to the knees, that only with attentive viewed it was possible to distinguish fugues. Hi stood on a par with the ground, from the foundation was made under the floor. In a slight distance, a cumier was visible and saddle with other accessories. Considering most of all hit the sword of a huge amount, the sheath, the black of which, in addition to beautiful carved forms, was distinguished by silver finish ... In addition, this God also had temples in many other places managed by priests less importance. In addition, it was a horse, absolutely white, who was worshiped with the hair of the mane or tail, was worshiped ... Svyatovitis sygged different signs, in particular, carved eagles and banners, the main thing was called the village ... The power of this small piece of canvas was stronger than the authority of the prince. "

So, the idol of the God of Light is four-year (it is possible that two heads are female), the symbols of the Svetite are the sword, horn and, possibly, onions, as shown in a number of medieval Polish engravings. The requirements of the light and / or Belobogu were brought in the form of a high cake, which was cut into four parts, and possibly, was then broadcast to all four parties, in agreement with the direction of the sight of the Sunita. The wine was sweet, because insects were flying on his tart smell - witnesses of beliefs claim that the idol of Beloboga was rusked by flies. Because of this, he was identified with Velzevul. In fact, we are talking only about the fact that the demand was sacred sweetly, the subjects were made directly in the mouth of the idol or they fell sacrificial honey. One of the main holidays of the Svetite-Beloboga can be considered the calendar tausen - the autumn sun, when the harvest is assembled, and it is necessary to take care of the prosperous new one - next year.

4. Veles and / or Chernobog

Chernobogo - Navii, "Angry" God according to the "Slavic Chronicle" Helmold. In Serbo-Luzhitsky Pantheon, called A.Frensel (1696) - Czernebog, and the first in this pantheon - the enemy of the Black God - Navnit.

Al-Masidi in the tenth century gives a description of a sanctuary of a certain God on black mountain: "... in it (building on black grief) they (Slavs) had a big idol in the image of a person or Saturn, presented in the form of an old man with a curve stick in his hand, which he Moves the bones of the dead from the graves. Under the right foot, images of heterogeneous ants are located, and under the left - prefigible ravens, black wings and others, as well as images of strange habashtsev and Zanjtsev (i.e. Abyssinsev). "

Peter Albin in the "Missalist Chronicle" says: "Slavs for TOL read the black bog, like an evil deity that they imagined that any evil is in his power, and therefore they asked him about the pardon, they reconciled him in order not to in this or afterlife Having caused him harm. " Gelmold describes that when the silence of the Slavs honored the feast of the Slavs, then when the guests are divided, everyone pronounced curses, and not the words of blessings. However, everyone understands in the measure of its upbringing: "The amazing superstition of the Slavs, for they at their festivals and peaks will pick up a circular bowl, who heard the words - I will not tell the blessing, but the curses, in the name of the gods of good and evil, as they expect from good god happy share, and from evil - unhappy; Therefore, evil God is even called devil or blacks in their own language. "

According to the myth, the Szrevnevsky, Satan (read the Chernobog) will destroy the soul of a man created by God, actually and in Christian dogmas is so. On another myth, given by Afanasyev Satan (Chernobog) created a man from the sweat of God. A similar myth is in the Lavrentiev chronicle. Chernobogo - Casuala of the World.

In the mythology of the Balts of the Black God, they refer to Wielona, \u200b\u200bWells or Velus, which actually means "damn", "The Devil" is a permanent opponent of the thumbnail and the owner of the world of the dead, the jester and the trikester. We need to be seven spans in the forehead in order not to notice the identity of this name and the similarities of this image with Slavic Veles.

Its name varies in the lists of chronicles and teachings against paganism - Veles, Hair, Vlas, Mills, Vlas - "Cotiony God", "Cotiona", i.e. Wild, lynny, animal. This is confirmed by the fact that Velez is likened to Pan - the God of Wildlife (Mater Verborum - "Veles: Veles - Pan, Ymago Hircina"). Satan's correlation with a goat in the Middle Ages does not need evidence.

Russian chronicles under Oleg and Svyatoslav agreements with the Greeks: in the summer 6415 (911): "The Cesar of Leon with Alexandrum the world of the dvornist with Olgym, and the tribute to the company goes in between, kisses themselves, and Olga is keen on the company and her husband Rusky law and swear to the weapon and Perunmam, God of God and Warm the databank of God and approve the world. " In summer 6479 (971). "... Yes, we have an oath of God, in the ny, and from Perun and from the Volos, the livestock of God."

Probably, Velez and the richness is probably (through the cattle, the main wealth of nomadic tribes - "God of cattle" ("On Vladimirov's idols"), and later, and just the God of wealth, which is earned by difficulty throughout life.

There is every reason to believe that it is Veles that follows the execution of laws and treaties, he is a father and prudence of truth, similar to Hermes and Odin. Therefore, the "second (idol) of the hair, the god of cattle, the hairs of them (pagans) in the great honor" ("Gustinskaya chronicle").

The mention of Veles in the contract, next to Perun - the patron of Prince and the squad, not by chance. Mercury Germans also called on a pair with a militant Mars. And there is no chance of a sacral couple here - a wise, old, not quite positive in the Christian sense of the word "cattle God" and a strong, young warrior-ruler.

Despite the obvious attributes of Black Veles, like one, Mercury and Hermes - God of science and wisdom. In the "Word about the regiment of Igor" we find "Chi Lee Taken was, a prophetic boyan, Vezza's grandstitch ...". His name is encountered in late on recording the ritual text of Macedon Bulgarians, the so-called "Veda Slavs" in the ed. Verkovich (see for example IV, 5. 5-13).

God les
Alive Ma Yuda taught
Yes si pee clear book
Yes, si pee and yes piche.
He taught Ma, God, taught.
And you, God, yes, you learn
Yes, the law is a kusher.
Yes, let's give three hundred and
Three hundred oxa, three hundred corves

In Apokrif "The Battle of the Virgin on the Muffles" Veles is directly named demons, but he is also named and "evil God", almost like a black man in Helmold in the Slavic Chronicle (it means that there were good gods, pay attention to the multiple number): Gentiles "These are those who called the gods; The sun and month, earth and water, animals and reptiles, who gave the gods to the gods, like people, and those who revered the Trojan, Trojan, Horsa, Veles, turning demons in the gods. And in these evil gods believed people. "

Literally on another list: "Veroval, the southerners of BE Creature God on the work of the sun, then they are all the gods of the Sun of the Sun and the month of land and water, animals and reptiles, then the network and chuck Okada Outry Trojan Khrza Perus Perouna on God turns the demon's evil , they accommodate the disaggeration of the disorder, the sake of the sake of the sake of such a thing. "

Next to him, Velez, in the list there are a Trojan, according to the Serbian legends, the exaccier of sunlight and having a giant goat, as well as Horse. "The word about the regiment of Igor" testifies to a certain night path of Horsa, because Vseslav was lying in the image of a wolf at night: "Vnislav the prince of People's judge, Prince of Grandge ridge, and the wolf spent on the night; From Kyieva Doryskheska to the chickens of Tmutornokan, the great Horse Wolf The path of interruption. "

Czechs, even adopting Christianity, remembered Veles, as one of the most powerful "demons," sacrificed to him black chickens and pigeons. In the "Word of St. Grigory "is said about the worship of the Slavs" Bottom Bogo and the Forest and Lesna God. " Those. Veles - God the scoring, the patron of travelers, the God of Forests.

The absence of his pillar in the Pantheon of Prince Vladimir testifies to the blackness of the Veles, the pillar of Veles stood separately, not on the hill, but on Podol. Meanwhile and are selected with Velez in Kiev under Vladimir, sending world around the river in the afterlife, i.e. Do not urge, but bury the old God. In the "Life of Vladimir" says: "And the hoole of an idol ... Vela in the river is accurate" by this, allegedly Vladimir sent Veles, as accommodation and Perun, swimming in the kingdom of the dead. Locked, it became, the two most famous Slavic gods.

However, in Rostov, a lot later Kumir Veles Rushat. In Life, Abrahamia Rostovsky says: "The moon end worshiped an idol stone, Veles." We pay attention to the sacred location of the idol - the miracle end. With Velez, it is compared directly by the demon who owns knowledge about hidden treasures. And Abraham, who destroyed the "idol of the Kamen" of Volos in Rostov, "I almost became a victim of the demon," I transformed into my opposite - "In the image of a warrior, who erected to him" King "Vladimir ..". The demon "accused Abraham that he was engaged in the excitement that he walked from the prince found a copper copper with money in the ground." This is a truly devilish mockery worthy of the Trikers of Loki and Navody God - Odin.

In the "Legend of the construction of a hail of Yaroslavl", the source of the XVIII century, ascending to an ancient record, "which, although he recently recently reflected the true course of events," right to say that the Magi was the priests of the "Skal of God": "To the same multi-chained idol and Kermeth (Kapshchep), there is befelling and Volkhov, and this non-greasy fire having Holding and sacrificing him smoke." The priest guess the campfire smoke, and if he walked badly, and the fire was fugged, the priests were executed. "And the people of these oath of Volos promised the prince to live in harmony and led to him, but just did not want to be baptized: when drought, the pagans prayed tearfully their hair in order to rain on the ground: the place where the hair had no time, and there was no dub, and Husli, and singing, driving many times, and the dance of some was apparently. Cattle when at this place went, an unusual hoodness and no fear was subjected: they said that all this attack was anger of the hair that he turned into an evil spirit, in order to crush people, as he crushed him and Kermet. "

H.M. Karamzin retells (without reference to the source, but this is essentially one of the variants of the "Greater Poland") "For curious" "Basni", in one of which we find: "Located-Russian princes, delightful by such a diploma (from Alexander Macedon), hanged In my head on the right side of the idol Veles ... During several times, the two prince (Mamuh, Lall) and Lahern were rebelled from their kind, and Lahern, the land of Greek fought and went for the most reigning hail: there, near the sea, put his head Prince Lahern (where Created after the monastery of the Vellaner ...)

With a large probability, we can say that Veles is a water and shepherd of the dead as his Balt analogues, as well as St. Hykolai.

"The river fiery running, through the fire river Kalinos Bridge, by Tom Kalinov bridge is the old man man; Carries a golden saucer in his hands, silver feather ... Damps from the slave of God seventy diseases. "

The Wolf God, the owner of the magic and the innermost, ruler of the intersection, Navi God, as we have shown in our previous book, where the functional analysis of the images of Tota, Hermes, Mercury, Odin, Veles was carried out.

One of his names Mokos is Macoosh's husband, the goddess of fate (we know at least four commemoration of Mokosha-Mokosa in men) - So the Veles himself, acting in fairy tales, as an old man with a guide girl - God of luck. Note that in the Indo-European tradition of the gods having similar names, possessed and similar functions. For example, Roman Lara, Russian Mawnets, Mermaids, Roman Favn and Favna, Indian Adidia, etc.

Perhaps he is Chernoboga Slavs, although it has an embodiment in the rule. Veles is identified by B.A. Yebakov with a three-year image on the lower zarus of Zbruch kumir, supporting the foundation of the world.

Slovenia Prilemensky, Hair-Veles probably spoke also under the name of the Lizard or Volkhov. Revision accounted for December 19 - Hykola Water Ox, Volkhov, Volkhovets - also the son of the Lizard, Godwolf, the god of hunting and mining, such a velee, probably, the owner of the waters and, perhaps, the patron saint of warriors, instructions on it in "Word of the Shelf" Igor, "Abonya about Volkh Veslavich and Sadko, the first Hovgorod chronicles, as the vuk-fiery snakes are described in Serbs. Filters - Gray prophetic wolf from Russian fairy tales. Iposta Veles. He is celebrated in the middle lane of Russia on October 2, this is the beginning of the hunting season. Hairman's hair - Wheel's wife, the constellation Pleiad According to I.I. Szreznevsky (they are abandoned, women) with reference to the composition of Athanasius Hykitina "Walking for the three seas": "Haiki and Cola was entered into a zory, and Elk should be east."

The hairsfire - the Milky Way - "Veles Cache and the hair scattered". According to the oldest ideas (Egyptians, Germans, Slavs), the universe appeared from the heavenly cow. Milky Way - Her Milk. Veles - the son of the cow of the Universe. Elk - the constellation of the Big Bells - the draws of the velees.

Veles Day - Wednesday, Stone - OPAL or Obsidian, Metal - Lead or Mercury, Wood - Spruce, Pine, Walnut or Ash (TIS), It is from them that should be done by chambers, eats, idols and other items associated with the Veles cult. Mytho-shaped Northern God-Wizard, of course, is somewhat different than in southern tradition. In places of the device of victims of Veresu and dedication, it is dense coniferous forests. Often impassable with poklyasi trees and a dog, Veles Volokhat and loves mossi and lichens, as well as mushrooms, might have put him idol or put demands on the fork and crossroads of three forest roads. Three evergreen wood (often pines - from here and "get lost in three pines") and anthills - also the signs of Velezov. If on the flat terrain, the same intersection, but with a lonely tree or stone on them.

Black Raven or Filin, cat, poloz or is - all this harbingers of the view of Veles on the heathen during the rite.

Has Leshe Kapsy could hang not only leads with letters, as in legend, as well as skull or horns. Probably, the Kumir Veles himself was crowned with horns - also hence his identification with Satan, or a curve stick. Veles donated with copper, for he is the God of well-being and prosperity, wool and fur, and also delivered beer and kvass - those drinks he taught people to prepare on one of the legends.

Images of idols of Veles can contain images of the same horns (or be horns), as well as a dead man's head in the hand of God. Cumira Veles, according to the reconstruction of D. Gromov, was not put on top of the hills, but on the slope or in a lowland, closer to the waters. His, Velezov, the days celebrated especially solemnly December 22-24, December 31, January 2 and 6 - in the days of the Hikola Winter, on February 24, they asked the "Sight God" to stake the horns from winter. And also honored him and on the days of honoring the Hikola Western - May 22 (Yarilin Day, Semyon). July 12 - when they put the first sheaf and begin to mow, harvesting the hay for livestock. Between July 18 and 20, Velles curled the block on the rebel "on a beard" - Hikolina beard.

We believe that under Hati - the divine pseudonym - the Black God of Slavs could hide exactly the prumping ancient Veles, because the ethics of the peoples of the northern tradition - not the ethics of good and evil, it is based on the concept of justice. After all centuries, the pagan tradition of confrontation between the black and white God continues and manifests itself at all levels. The first one - the old one pauses nature, the second - young - it revives it, and with her and rebel himself, full of strength. In the spring, the young replaces the old one, and the one changes the former. The cycle is then repeated, and it will be forever.

Veles is a patron of zodiac caperpashers who climb up, persistent in their desire and there is no such a precipice, from which they would not be saved, and there is no such vertex that they would not have taken.

5. Triglav

From the "Bamberg Ottone Best", we learn about the existence of the Slavs in the city of Shtetein "Three heads of the Divine, which had three heads on the same torso and was called the Triglav."

The Triglav is the Higher Divine, according to the medieval historian Abbon - "Summus Paganorum Deus", with a gold bandage on the mouth and eyes (see "Life of Ottone, Bashopa Bamberg"):

"III.1. 1126 Szczecin: Contributes in itself three mountains, of which the average and the highest is devoted to the Supreme God of the Tagannan; It has three-chapted sculptures, which has eyes and mouth closer with a gold bandage. According to the priests of idols, the main god has three heads, because she oversees three kingdoms, that is, heaven, land and underworld, and the face closes the bandage, since the sins of people hide, as if not seeing and not to mention them. "

And the historian Herborr is owned over the three worlds - heaven, land and underground world, is involved in fortunate through a huge black horse. Stetin, visited by Herbrad himself according to his testimony OK. The 1120th year, as in Ebon, located on the three hills in itself was a place to service this God about three heads. The temple of Triglava was on the highest of three places. Cavendings from the gown Pilot Otton destroyed the body, and the United's junction was taken away as a trophy and sent to Rome as proof of Pokornov's appeal. As we know Belobogu-Nenate, also the Higher Divine, God of Gods - in turn, is devoted to the White Horse, but the rite of fortune telling is similar.

Has Zbruch's idol is a three-lies deity in the lower tier, and it brings us to the idea that the German authors called the triglav to the blackbear. In favor of this, says the worship of the Slavs Stetin according to the same Herbordo nut, and this is an Navier Tree, associated with the lower world of the lizard. In late Serbian sources, it is said that Troyan is afraid of sunlight and he has a goat ears, this is also a testimony of the character's chtonicity.

However, in Western Slavs, many deities of multi-headed and multi-sided, but, only one is called from the point of view of "goals". He's among the names of the sevenlands, nor a five-chapter, nor a quadriglass ... But what seemed to be easier - to call the light-four-liter. The output suggests itself. The Germans decided that the Triglav is a deity, but we believe that the triglava is not a separate, even the highest God, but the principle of unity and the opposite of its three components. "MATER VERBORUM" so characterizes this name: "Trihlav - Triceps, Qui Habet Capita Tria Capree".

In the medieval Polish sources, the triglav is a three-headed giant, from which the world is going on by chopping his head by God. Thus, allegedly appear black, Belobog, and a hambog associated with red, but the latter seems to us by the latest, although it does not contradict logic. In the emergence of the 17th century by the author - Abraham Frentzel - one of the chapters is dedicated to some trigle, it is necessary to think, it just is so reailed the image of the triglava. "De TRIGLA, DEA Poli, Soli Salique". A trigle string is possible to translate not the "goddess of fields and land", but the "goddess of the sky, earth and well-being." Fields - from the erroneous interpretation of POLI from Slavic. Rolus - Heavenly Code + Solum - Earth, Soil + Salus - Well-Being, Safety + -Que - and.

Because of the similar misunderstanding, the name of the Triglava began to climb also with the name of the ancient Emperor Rome Trojan. Troyan is mentioned in one of the lists of the apocryph "The Battle of the Virgin Music", in the series "those who revered the Trojan, Trojan, Horsa, Veles, turning demons in the gods"; In the semi-owned manuscript of the Tolstsky Meeting among "Perun and Horsa, Molia and Trojan", as well as in the "Word and Revelation of the Holy Apostles", where it compares with the Roma Emperor Troyan. In the "Word about the regiment of Igor", Trojanov's trail, centuries of Trojanov and Land Trojanova are mentioned, it is possible that there was such a prince preceding even Kiu, cheek and chorive - the brothers just three. And if the third son in the family is called Tretyak, then the father of three sons is Troyan, Troyak. Maybe if such brothers actually came to the Dnieper from the Carpathians, they called the descendants of the famous conqueror of Dac. Or century Trojanov - when three brothers ruled, and not some Troyan there? "Oh Boyana, Stargo Time! ABI YOU SIA RAKES DURATED, Jump, Slavia, on the thought of the tree, flying mind under the clouds, the foggy of glory both of the first time, the trick in the Trojan Trojan Fields on the Mountains! "

"There were chicks of Trojani, passed the summer of Yaroslavl; There were advantages of Olgov, Olga Svyatoslavli. " "Already Bo, brethren, not a cheerful godina enthusiastically entangled, already the desert covered strength. Inspect the abdomen of the abdomen of the grandson, a Trojan joined the girl, squeezed the Swan's wings on the blue sea at Don: Plishechi, let out of the fat. "Has Seventh Even Trojani Vrolo Vseslav Lot about Devinia to himself." It is obvious for us that it is not necessary to bring the concept of Triglava and Trojan, these are different things.

In general, there is no triglava god. We, pagans, call the presentation of the ancient Indo-Europeans about the ternary device of the world.

6. Sveuteysh

According to the Czech medieval dictionary "Mater Verborum" has the Western Slavs Goddess of Light - Sveuteysh - "Lucina Dea", and, as we assume, this female embodiment of the White God is Snovet, or his wife - he himself "Ares, Bellum", "Mavors : MAVORTEM POETE DICUNT MARTEM. "

There is also some kindergarten - the goddess of love according to the same "Mater Verborum". The refrigera's uniforms also called spirits dancing on the meadows.

7. Makosh (b), mock

The goddess of all of fate (Kosh, Cat - the fate, the syllable "Ma" can abbrevorate the word "mother"), the eldest of the goddes of the tries of fate, at the later time was considered a patronage of spinning. It can be correlated with the beliefs of the ancient Greeks in the spinners of fate - Moir, as well as with the Germanic Spirits of Fate - Horns and Frigg - the wife of Odin, is hiding on his wheel. Due to the fact that the goddesses - the pier of fate in beliefs appear in three, also probably had two sisters or hatchers - happy fate and unhappy, successful and unsuccessful.

Makosh is a goddess of fertility, the mother of crops, has 12 annual holidays, sometimes depicted with horns (apparently the cult of Makoshi - and the lunar cult, then holidays 13). A characteristic female horned headdress was worn back in the 19th century on folk holidays. Mentioned in Russian chronicles and numerous teachings against paganism. "The teaching of the spiritual children" in the XVI century so warns: "Do not be invisible to God: people who are praying and giving births, Perun, and Apollon, and Mokoshi, and do not get closer to every gods."

The only goddess from Pantheon KN. Vladimir. The Mother of Gods, perhaps the wife or the embodiment of Veles-Mokosa-Mokosha, correlated with the pecked (the name is often used in male genus).

"Mama, the king ... Gait the gods to the gods: Perun, Salmanat, Mokosha, Raclia, Rus and Victhago His assistant Ahmet." "The demand is put and creative ... Mokoshi Div .... Mazhet the Cross of God, the same virgin crews and mock chtuut. "

Thus, Makosh is the goddess of witchcraft and the hostess of transition from this world to the world of others.

In the lower hat, it is possible, is a famous Baba Yaga (Hel, Cali), in this case, we can say that she is the wind mother and the Lady of the Forest World. Depicted on Russian embroidery between two melosh-roses, sometimes depicted with a horn of abundance. As a result of chtonicity has a disproportionately big head on the images. Perhaps Makosh is the image of ancient, still neolithic origin, the goddess of the mother, who is known as the "Neolithic Venus". The oldest goddess was a surrender of both life and death, the image of her face was considered to be taboo, had a big head.

Makoshi Day - Friday, in Orthodoxy the image merged with Paraskeva Friday, i.e. She is the patroness of the owners and wives. One of the days in which Makos is especially celebrated is the closest to April 8, Friday - I will conduct Makoshi. As well as October 27, Paraskeva Friday itself.

Its metal - silver, stone - rhinestone and so. Named "Moonstone". Makoshi Beast - Cat. The symbol of this goddess is yarn, a tangle of wool, spindle, and brought them to the temple. Macosi's idols could be made from "Women's Women's Woods", first of all - from Osina. The idol Makosh could often be horny or having a horn in his hands:

Monk Alberyich from three sources in his "chronicle" of the XI century (according to A.Frenchly, 1712 g) wrote: "II. 1003 M. Emperor Henry: submitted to the Windlife, the people bordering the swovels. These winds worshiped Fortune; Having her idol in a famous place. Inned him horn, full drink made of water and honey: "

A characteristic female horned headdress was worn back in the 19th century on folk holidays. In any case, it seems to be a high dominate woman, whose head is crowned with a cap with protruding edges. In her hand (but not the fact that Veles, and in the opposite) horn of abundance.

Share, Srecha, Sryasht (Serb.), Meeting, Happiness - Hand, Assistant or Junior Sister Makoshi, Mother Loss, Yagishna.

Gadol, Inch, Hiesryshta (Serb.), Zlosta - Hand, Helper, or younger sister Makoshi, Mother Loss, Yagishna.

So, Makosh itself:

1. Goddess of all fate
2. The great mother, the goddess of fertility, is associated with harvest, has 12-13 annual holidays (and every full moon can be honored)
3. The goddess magic and magic, the wife of Veles and the hostess of intersections of the universe between the worlds.
4. Defender and patroness owners.
5. In the lower hat, is the famous Yaga, in this case it can be said that she is the mother of the winds that life and death is subject to her equally.
6. Mistress of wildlife.

8. Retolding or Ottevat

In the main way, the West Slavic God of fertility, liken to Saturn, the god of sowing and seeds, according to Mater Verborum. "Sytivrat - Saturnum Pagani Illum Esse Ajunt Qui Primus AB Olimpo Uenit Arma Jovis Fugiens, - Stracec Sytivratov Syn - Picus Saturni Filius."

Saturn in turn is identified with the Kronos. In the glossa of Vacerade, the deity of the Vagrov and Slovaks of Saturn type is called Sativrat, the mountain is connected with his name in Slovakia, where "is the entrance to hell", and he himself is referred to as the stacker and the platform. At the same time, the name is associated with the "sower", "sieve" and "light". Serbian "Sit" means "light". He is a coamper of light. He is God turning the sunny wheel for the summer and returning the power of fertility. His celebration falls on December 17 and coincides with Cronas or Saturnia.

9. Crop, Brodo

Also, the western Slavic god, the son of the raw, the god of sacrificial places and fire on them, the father of Svarog, grandfather of Radogasta-Welmer, according to Mater Verborum - "Radihost Vnuk Krtov" was also identified with Saturn. Probably "the beauties" and there is something that is watching this ancient God.

The remnants of the cult of the corrosion were caught in Garza. The idol of Krodov stood on a high, forest wedge grief. It was an old man with a naked head, with bare legs, he stood on the fish, Okayuan was a woolen white dressing, held a wheel in one hand, and in another vessel with flowers and fruits (Dey Grote Duvel Tour Harzborg). Calculation of the wheel indicates that this God is associated with the time, change of seasons, the fact of the same circumstance indicate the fruits and flowers in his hands. Perhaps he could also be born with a variety of epoch, the "golden age of Slavs", like the Roman Saturn. It is associated with the cult of the ancestors and burning corpses, was honored by the wendes on the Radunitsa - March 9 and on May 1. Known saying from Croats "Not everyone go to Krotovo kingdom, other to hell," which may indicate that the kingdom of the corrode corresponded to the "good time" of Saturn or the "islands of blissful" Crohn, where the shadows of the best of heroes and titans are.

In short, Karachun - a seasonal god from Sweet Claus (in the Hovgorod chronicles it is said: "There is all the days of the Dzhzhiv, the days before the short days"). Kherechun or a krhrone evening - Christmas Eve or Christmas shints. Rolling down, roll Karachun - i.e. cool like a corpse. Perhaps somehow connected with an ancient crust of the krbet.

10. Svarog, sovarog

Divine Blacksmith, a descendant of Sittratrat and Croget, who adopted all the chtonic features, leaving the welcome to hold light, fire and ether, which is often happening when changing the pantheon when the once great demiurgy gods are replaced by the younger generation of gods, as it happened For example, among the ancient Greeks, when the generations of uranium (heaven) and the Kronos were replaced by Olympians led by Romovnik Zeus. Svarog - God-Creator and the legislator, the father of welded (Perun, Dazhboga-Radgasta, Smagi Fire and / or Rarog), Demiurge, correlated with Hephaeste, on the worldview, ascending to the Ophpical tradition. Therefore, he is a source of fire and his lord. It has a lot in common and with Finnish Ilmarienne. He does not create a word, no magic, unlike the Veles, and his hands, he creates the material world. The difference between Velez and the Svarog is akin to the difference between Vynyamynenen - "Violent Runophev" and Kovator Ilmarinen.

With a lot of probability, it is also possible to say that the pairs of Targytai-Beokey, Svalog-Welmer, Kuzma Demyan enter into one mythologist. The nearest Vedic analogue of the God-creator of the material world of Twace. Any forge, any horn is already the Keepskir's Keep, because when arranging the Kapple, modern pagan worth remembering that. With a wooden idol, the flaw should burn fire, it should be shedding the metal, and the idol itself should be. The chapher's key must be hammer (or iron heavy stick-scrap) and anvil. It was the weld that he began the Iron Age and taught people to use Iron tools. Sounds, pleasant welds - because He is the first patron sieve of crafts and all the master - blows of the hammers, the ringing of the chains and the fiery of the fire. Requires weld bring or cheese (cheese) and cottage cheese. The word "cottage cheese" means - created, it is sidelled with the name of Svary, and is a symbol of celestial breads. The role of cumira weld can perform a huge stone on which the fire symbols are applied.

His day of celebration falls on November 14 - Wellers (Day of Kuzma and Demyan). Father and son read and son - Welsh fire.

10. Floast and / or Lada - Lado (?)

Lada - the general Slavonic goddess of love, female in the family, the goddess of marriage, according to the Czech "Mater Verborum", (correlated there with Venus) and "Synopsis", as well as the "Tale of the construction of the Benedictine Monastery on Bald Mount" (XVI century), under the name Gardzyna ("Festival"). Mentioned in the Polish church prohibitions of the pagan rites of the beginning of the fifteenth century. Her month is April. She, apparently, one of the melosh-ancestors. Recalls with ancient Greek Lato from the country of hyperboreys in the upper hat, and Dememetro - in the lower hat. One of the rhizanitsa. Lada and / or Svarog's wife (Mars was a lover Aphrodite, Hephaesto - husband). Its metal is gold, copper or bronze, and the stone is emerald.

Floor, Lado, Ladon, Ladon - God of war, God of fun, God of marriage, God whites. According to adopted in modern science, Lada and Lad - one deity, for the allocation of God Lada at one time, strongly scolded such a famous researcher as Faminity, but the authors of the book on this expense is a different opinion, since a significant number of references to God Lada is available in the original sources: LAD ("SINOPSIS"); Lado or Lyado ("Gustinskaya Chronicle", "On Idolas of Vladimirov"); Palon - "Chronicle of Polish" Yana Dlugosha; Alado (in the Polish church prohibitions of the pagan rites of the beginning of the fifteenth century). The deity of Lado has signs of hermaphroditism, as well, and ancient Greek Apollo, - Dedis Dewie (Did-Lado - the Great Our Divine), Dulgoshu invas and other researchers Strykovsky, Belsky, Mekhovsky, Prokosh.

"Gustinskaya chronicle": "The fourth (idol) of Lado (si there is Pluton), God's God, this was believed to be a groom's groom, merry, comforted and any well-being, Yakkin of Elina Bahus; With the hell of the barefoot, the barefoot, notice, in order to be a good and love of his marriage. Single's Besa, according to the country, and the Donyn on the Captain and on Brothers, they are very angry with the songs, and the hands of the hands or about the table, Lado, Lado, pretexting his own songs, mocking. " According to popular names, as always, in the mythology of PLA and Lada, they make a married couple. May be identified with Roman Venus or Greek Persephone. In this case, if, the goddess of Lada is identified with Venus, then the way is close to Mars. If Lada is close to Demeter or Persephone - Float correlates with AIs.

12. Lizard, Yasha, Yassa, IASSA, Issaya, Yesh

Overall Slavonic Bakery God. World Snake. It will be mentioned in the Polish church prohibitions of pagan rites of the 1420s. Perhaps one of the IPosts of the Veles-Chernobogo (as the son of Loki was Midghard Snake, and Azhi Dahaka - the son of Anghro-Miens). In West Slavic medieval sources, it is mentioned along with Lado (see LAD).

Lizard - Pakel God.

However, according to the "Chronicle of the Polish" Yana Dlugosha, he - Jessa - and correlate with Jupiter. And Famyzin compares this deity, without having nothing but the name, with Belobogo, allegedly, this is "clear" God.

We believe that no God is Yasonia - this is the fruit of fantasy interpreters. In the "Mater Verborum" we find, the truth is "thesis": "Jesen, Jasni: Meful, Clear - Isis Lingua Egiptiorum Terra Dicitur."

Probably there is just the owner of the depths and / or the kingdom of minerals, maybe the marine king is Yesha, a lizard. It is characteristic that it was Poseidon Greeks called the "Earth's oscillator". According to Dulguosa "ISISS prayed for the declaration of earthly goods." Music in myth about Sadko is the worship of the Marine King, and the huslies had the form of a lizard-like.

Preserved to this day Belarusian song:

Siad Lizard under the pyral
Has nut bush,
Where is the nut Lusna ...
(Wanting to want)
Take yourself a girl
Kotya want ...

Ham is also known for its other options:

Sidi Sieda Yasha
Under a walnut bush
Gryzi Gryzi Yasha

CHOK-COK, PYAKOK!
Get up Yasha, fools.
Where is your bride,
What is it dressed
What is her name
And where will they bring ...

It was recorded a few years ago in the village of Frolovo of the Moscow Region Konstantin Sofin.

Side Seda Yasha
In Rakitov's bush,
Gryza Gryza Yasha
Knee nuts, cute darish.
Coc Coc, Lollipop,
Get up (Sigai) Yasha, well done.
The ide is your bride,
What is it dressed
What is her name
And the dedo will be brought ...

Academician Rybakov B. A. In the "paganism of ancient Russia" writes: "... Slavic lizard, married to a recessed girl, corresponds to Aida, the God of the Underground World, Persephone spouse. And the sacrifice was brought by himself by these forces of seasonal action, but a constantly existing lord of all underwater and underwater forces that promote fertility, i.e., Yaschera, Aida, Poseidon.

Toponyms of many lakes and rivers of the North-West remain the habitat trails of the habitat and the North-West Rivers: the Lizard River, Lake Bashchino, Lizard's settlements, a small lizard and others. In the vicinity of Moscow, you can point to a sav-crocodile monastery near the wedge (now the village of Spas-Crocodilino) . Has Novgorodchin may have existed in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Railway Monastery area. There, the lizards were considered as a father or Volkhov himself.

The lizards on walnut saved and generously poured with nuts in the mouth of the lizard idols. It is possible how the owner's pallet threw a doll to the water (or even the maiden himself).

13. Lelia, Lyalya.

Goddess of fertility. The second guy, the daughter of Lado, who, according to Synopsis (1674) - Mother Lelieva. Virgin, but the goddess of childbearing, similar to Artemida ("Tale about building a Benedictine monastery at Lysa Mount" (XVI record of the record): "The bald mountain is named from the Lysset Castle, which was called it, named because he was Bell. In that castle One Mistress before living. Those who won Alexander the Great under that mountain, she ordered him to read himself as a goddess Diana: in the same place there was a temple of three idols whose name was Lada, Boda, Lelia. To them, ordinary people converged on the first day May, they bring prayers and sacrifices to them. "On the orders of Princess, the dubravki, the temple was destroyed, and there was a Troitsky monastery there.

Once the celebration of Leli and Lada accounted for the first numbers of May, it gives reason to say that they are still a goddess, because on the night of May 1, on the Bald Mount of Witches spent on the views of Christians their Shabash - Valpurgiyev night. It's too early to find out, in Czestochov manuscript Jan from Michochina "(1423) We learn that" in these three days (Troitsky holidays): the old women agree, women and girls, but not in the temple, not on prayer, but on dance, not God, and the devil, that is, Yeysh, Lado, Lelia, Hy. Such if they do not show, let them go with the "Yassa, Lado" to the eternal curse. " And in a number of other Polish teachings against paganism 13-14 centuries, it is said that it is girls who worship idols, and these days. Thus, Lelia is a goddess, and only in the fantasies of the authors of the 16-18 centuries became a boy of Leliem.

Has Russian embroidery, perhaps, the Lelia-Rozenznica is represented as one of two meloshs, there is a Macoze between them, which is often mentioned next to the poop and Lada. Her day is Monday. Most likely the daughter of Lada (Body) and Lada. Her tree - Rowan, but more often than birch ("in the field of Birch stood - Lyalya, Lyalya stood"), metal - silver. The cult of Leli and the Lada discussed in detail by B. A. Rybakov. Lyaline the day and for the first numbers of October, when the hunting season from October 2 to October 7 began. And also on the Intercession on October 14, if the snow falls out. In the lower hat, relationship with Pershefon.

14. DIY, DY, DIV

In Vedica and Sanskrit DEVA - a derivative of the verbal root of DIV, one of which is "shine" (and in general, their weight). It is from the same root that Div and Diy are taking place, who have common indirect forms in Vedi (for example, DYAUS in nominative and vigilate (with different stress), Dive on the dive, etc.), and the foundations of which alternate in Sanskrit. So, and Div, and DIY mean "heaven", "day", etc. Accordingly, these words also have a mass of derivatives. By the way, the literal meaning of the word DEVA is "Heavenly". It is quite logical to assume that Slavic Div and the ground are closely connected. The fuck is God, according to the "Blue Ministry" and "Word and Revelation of the Holy Apostles".

He is a bird-cam from the "Word about the regiment of Igor". "Zby Div, clinging the top of the tree - Meld to listen to the earthly" "" Hula's already demolished; already cracked the need for the will; Already spoke to the Earth. "

Perhaps the God of the Heavenly Water is the next original sky, and not that the divine blacksmith-weld. Since Deva translated from Sanskrit means "God," - can be compared with the birth as one of his names, meaning abstract "God", the sky and the light of the day.

"By the years George Amartola - tells us Galkovsky - Diy was the son of Crown and Brother Hina. Diy was named in immaculate stars. The Persians had the law of playing his mothers and sisters, why and Diy was married to her sister his Ira. In honor of Diya in Egypt, goats and other animals rushed. The Amartol is bought out that Seruch first introduced the Ellen teaching in the Babylonian land to read the feats and acts of ancient former warrior or princes; Subsequently, not leading people began to read the famous ancestors for the gods: "Yako of the God of the Heavenly Watch, and Zrechow them, and not Yako human to the midwife former." Thus, people began to commit the people who have made any discovery or an invention, are such, for example. Posidone - in-depth shipbuilding, hefest, kovach copper, etc. But these utter heroes were simple people. "And the arms of Oybi izh from the creator of the verbal gods, Dia and Crown and Apolona, \u200b\u200band Irow, too, the human of the God of life, Pleshohus." Then, under these names, poems began to be harvested. "Die Rooms", i.e. Diy is rain. Horseing it says that people served as a whale of the creator, absolute the sky, land, animals, birds and reptiles. "Namesamed Dia Sky." So, Amartol under the dimie is of course the deity of rain and heaven, that is, Zeus. We believe that the compiler of the Russian word was familiar with the Ellin chronicler of the first edition. According to the chronicler, Diy was the son of Crown (i.e. Chronos), reigning in Assyria, who devoured his children; But Diy was saved thanks to the tricks of his mother of Aria, who served the crown instead of a child's child. Diy in the chronicler is identified with Zeus: "Ever time, she would give birth to Nine Peak Zeus Izi EU DIY." It's reading the rows below: "The crowns will leave the son of his peak of Zeus, those EUs, left in Asuri," he mastered the Western countries. In Chronographer, the second edition of Diy is also identified with Zeus: "There is a Diy hedgehog about Zeus." Dy - also that Diy. Diy had the shape of the female kind: "Oviyyi to grow, and the drudge divia." The conversation Grigory Theologian about the beating of Grad is the Slavic insert. So, Diy or the God - the God of Rain and Heaven, i.e. Zeus. "

15. Divia, Divia

The goddess of the Earth, the spouse: "We are typology, a dishes from him, forgetting Yako God from Heaven to give Jaco. Os-carrying God of God, and God's stemsagge and the earth to dive. OV River God to nine, and the beast is living in Nei, Yaako God of God, you need to create. Ovia zhokha, and drugyi DIVI. And in a haidium. On the same dyriyan, at the chapter, inquiring, to create oath; OS swear to create closers. Ons kobii try to look. Ossfing to happen. S Mushes Cattle, Cutting Clear. OH per week and in the holy days to do, the arrogant to themselves, doing their loyabel, and Eliko to make a week to do, the dyongmie to him. S on the maslet liah squeeze "

Since in almost all Indo-European mythological systems there are a pair of "earth-sky", it is quite logical to assume that diva and diva are such a couple, since the diva relates to the sky and the light of the sky. Divia is the goddess of mother cheese-land, fertilized by the heavenly waters of the water. Divia, Divits and other derivatives from here.

Gods and Gods Hov

16. Yarilo, Yarovit and Ruevit

These are a different hypostasis of one fertility of fertility ("Yar", "Sneakers"), an old god of an awakening matter ("rage"), strength and youth ("Bright" - a young strong sheep) and snesh light ("bright") (Vost. Slav . Yarilo; Zap.Slav. Yarovit, Zap.Slav. Yaromir for the unrecognized "Craialor manuscript"). The God of War Yarovit, whose capital was in Complete (bobbin), was functionally similar to the rivy, Ryan Tour of the Eastern Slavs, Mars - Romans according to eyewitness testimony, the AREY - Greeks, Tyur - Scandinavians.

It is possible that Yarovit and Ruyevit is an army and zealous - two names of a single deity at the Western Slavs. Rugevit or Ruyevit - Rugs-Ruyan, the seven god of war, Kumir stood in Karenze (Corpsin) on the Rugen. Sakson writes: "(city) is famous for the heads of three glorious temples. The main chapter was in the midnight of the front of the temple, which as well as the KEY, not havingto the walls, was presented to a purple cloth, so the roof was lying on the columns. When both covers were torn, then the oak idol of Ruyevit was unspected from all sides. "

Kumir Ruyevita was exterminated by Bishop Absalon in 1168. He had eight swords and seven goals and was a gigantic growth. Four heads were male and two female, the seventh animal was on the chest. Unless the attribute says that these are different gods in the understanding of rugs and stages. The symbol of the Yarovit was a huge shield, most likely the personification of the sun, since the holidays were arranged for him before the start of summer (as in Yaril, calling fertility to the fields).

It is very typical that Yarilo in the Belarusian holidays is involved in the form of Yarili Yarili, then in the form of a man with a huge phallus. Meanwhile, the "Yar" root is present in such specifically "female" words: a spring sheep - bright, yarm, spring wheat, tark bread, but the use of this root in female genus: rage, milkmaid, Yarina (sheep wool), Yarina (Spring).

We consider Yaril as a dying and resurrected son or a reservoir of the Iposta Veles, who in the winter acts as a frost, and in the spring - Yarloy. His day is Tuesday. His month is March, named so in honor of the god of war - Mars, its metal - iron, stones - amber, ruby, grenades, hematite.

It seems interesting for us that this God had its analogues in a number of peoples. And, although a number of researchers recruit Yaril into late-medievable fictions, it can not be so as the root of "Yar" is the ancient general Slavonic and even an Indoary root. It is happening that these etymologically and functionally Slavic Yarile correspond to, Roman Eryl, which has several lives as Mars, the God of the Yarrow of the Renaissance of Nature, the Hetto Hurt Hurtian God of War of War, Akkadian God of the ERRA war, the Greek god of the war Ares-Aray.

The celebration of Yarils first falls on March 21, the beginning of the first month of the pagan year, is due to the fact that "the cattle God siggys the winter on the horns." Perhaps on the same day the gods honored, awakening life - alive, Dazhbog and Svarog. Chtutu Yarilu and Yury Winter - December 9, along with Dazhbog.

17. Dazhibogog, Dazbog, Dab, Radgast, Radigos, Welsh

These are different variations of the names of the same. God fertility and sunlight, lifeful power. Correlate with Helios, the son of Svarog. The first-enders of Slavs (Slavs in the text "Words about the regiment of Igor" - giving grandchildren) "Then, at Olla, the Gorislavlitsy seeds and stretching with gravestia, the life of Lazhborn's grandson, in the princes of Kramoli, the Vecy is a fruit."

"The vanity of the grandchild, he enthusiastically enthusiasm in the strength of the grasses, joined the girl to the land of Trojan, squeezed the swan wings on the blue sea at Don: Plishes, let out of the fat of times."

According to the "Word of John Zlotoust ... Aso, the first trades believed in the idols and demands to them ...", the God of the Sun and the Living Force.

Probably, Dazhbogh could, following the White Snovet, relate to Apollo (Targelia) as the God of Sunlight. In the teachings against paganism, among other gods, they will be mentioned next to Artemius: "And I start upstroke and begins to zeniya Mili and Thunder, and the Sun and the Moon, and the friends of Perevan, Houursu, Vilam and Mokoshi, Upida and Breastham, and Nizhi Nen In the Magazine, you believe in Artemis, I am praying, and the chickens of them cut ... and the injuries in the waters. And the friends of Keladzes are coming to pray and in the water to dine ... Sacrifice is brought, and friends of Fires and Kameniya, and the rivers, and the source, and Breastham, and in firewood - is not the same, but they are still creating. "

Dazhbog. He, apparently, and the Radogast, the Radogost - from the Western Slavs, according to the German Chronicles; Radijob and Radochch - Natishche. Song of the Svarog, the grandson of the krbut, the God of the Sun and the Jawi Light (also corrected with Metro), his day is Sunday, his metal is gold, his stone is yahont. The celebration may fall on the day of Rodium-Icewolic. The largest cult center of the welded was located on the lands of the Luthich-retarius, was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt again - 953. Overlished by Otten, in 1068, the Saxon Bishop of Budrdt was second and was finally burned by the Germans in 1147-1150. During the cross campaign against the Gentiles of the Bavarian Duke Henry Lion. The bronze images of the mount gog and ritual items from the Rengrist Temple were found in the village of Podlvitz village at the end of the 17th century. Figures are covered with Slavic Rounic letters. With the lands of Vyatichi in honor of the god-welded also called the settlement. The name of the Radogast would sound here as Radigosh. Radozhech - two settlements claim his role - this is either the river on the river Sudva (the inflow of the gums), west from Trubchevsk and north of Hovgorod Seversky, or, and actually pleased with the River Herussa, north of Sevsk and west of Krome. The sacred animal of Dazhboga - Radgasta was considered a lion (as at the Persian God of the Sun - Mitra), the welded was depicted either with a lion's head, either traveling on a chariot, shaped lions. It should be noted that the root of "glad" indicated the Sunny light from the Slavs, hence the "rainbow" - a solar arc. The same "sunny" root and the word "joy, random" - that is, by the rays (cf. Lat. Radio) of the Sun.

Hence the names of Radogast, Radochish consist of three words: Rad - Sunny, "Yes", before "by analogy with Dagbogom, a group can designate a gift, a gift, and" Gast "," Gosh "semantically closely with the word" Guest ". In other words, these names may not be denoted by: "Guest gives the sun and sunlight", or the messenger of the gods, which brought the power of light and the sun as a gift. In this case, East Slavic Dazhbog and the Western Slavsky Radegast essence are different names of the same God - Welzhavich. Francel speaks about him as "de Radegastos. Marte Soraborumque Altero Supremo DEO "- Redegast in the Serbo-Luzhitsky Pantheon Fogur is no less significant than even Schönit himself.

Symbols of the weld are not only royal lions, but also Vepri (Wear - it is also the embodiment of Indian Vishnu and Scandinavian Freira). One of the attributes is a sword, later sequir, as well as a spear, possibly scarlet stabilization: "In this is the devil Washer and the leader of the saints, yours and our Mauritius? Those. Who is ahead of the sacred spear, and those who are dirty by human blood devilish banners? "

Bird of the Radogasta - Rooster, hearing his cry of the Sun. With the name of God, the name of God was written by the name of God, maybe there was a solar symbolism. The head of the idol is put on the shoot of the Sun or on the southeast so that he can follow his move.

Dazhboga called SPAS, i.e. The Savior, but not in the sense of salvation of the lost sheep of Israel, but in the sense of the military - defender. Therefore, apple (August 19) and Honey saved (August 14) - these are the days of honoring the weld. His together with Neril Ttutou and Yuri Winter (December 9).

18. Peruh, Perunova

The God of Thunder and Liaph, as Heavenly Fire, will be mentioned in the annals in the rules and Slavs with Romanes (KN. Oleg - 907 g, KN. Igor - 945, KN. Svyatoslav - 971). Welders (Perun - in Russian chronicles, Perunov, Perun. , that is, Jupiter - in Mater Verborum, Perus - in the "Word and Revelation of the Holy Apostles" from the teachings against paganism of the 14th century). As Elinsky, God (hint at Zeus) comes with the "Word of Mazoimania" (List of the XVI century) and in the "Word of repentance" (List of the XVI century). Supreme God of Pantheon KN. Vladimir is the god of the ruling military elite, prince and squad. God punishing for non-compliance with the laws of Javi and Rights. Exhaustive information about IDOL PERUNE is contained in the "Gustinist Chronicles": "Firstly Perkonos, si there is Perun, their elder God has created, created a man in a similar one, he is in his hands. The restless of the oak tree is under greatly palauha; Whether she would have happened for the unrequisite of the employee of the ions when the fire was fugged, the backed ions without any belief and mercy of the tissue. "

As well as in the teaching "On Idolas of Vladimirov": "In the first posting of the Hires of the Quamir. IMEME PERUNE OF GOD ROMUM I MLORY I Rain clouds on a hollow high above the brick thread like a chowder. Tulles of his befriend, the head of the Izmusch, the ears of Zlata Zarana Zaravnoy, is besen. Holded the same Kamen for the likeness of Perun Palausch. Rubins. And the carbukem is decorated: "Next, the word is repeated for the word with a non-greasy fire. According to Friecel - "Percuno, Deo Tonitru & Fulguru".

Purun also comes in the "tongue of (Mamaev) who was traveling. kn. Ditri Ivanovich Donskoy "along with the scurry among the pagan gods of the wicked" Tatars ". But most likely, the compiler of the narration recorded the assistants to the wicked major pagan gods, which undoubtedly knew even then - Mokosa (Veles) and Perun. Hado admit that among Prince Dmitry Ivanovich's supporters, then - the ally of another Khan Takhtamysh, were baptized Tatars, and maybe not only baptized. The ruin of the receiver Mama Moscow in 1382 made it in every way to silence this fact in Russian history and submit a battle on the Kulikov field with a clearly religious tint in the interests of the Orthodox Church.

Perunov day - Thursday. The day of the Ilya-Prophet (August 2) and the period from July 20 to August 2-4 are especially celebrated. Also celebrate Perunov Day on June 21 ("Fedor-Stratilat's throats rich")

Its metal - Tin, its stone - Belemnit (dams of finger-perunovy arrows), sapphire, lags; Tree - oak, beech. He contacted fertility, in Orthodoxy correlated with Ilya, the Prophet, as a defender of the Jawi world from Navoch, literaryly recovered with Zeus, who owns Perun. Related with Percunas Balts, Scandinavians, Tarinis - Celts.

So, Perun, Summer Summer Son:

1. God thunder and lightning like heavenly fire
2. Patron of warriors and princely squad.
3. God-governor, God punishing for non-fulfillment of laws.
4. Defender Yavi.
5. Greetman for male power.

The symbol of the head is an oak idol, a stone, or two stone on both sides of the idol, sacrificial fire, fired in front of the idol, a six-wheeled wheel on the idol, a symbol of a zipper or arrows, or even the thunder's arrow. Probably pagans did not cut the living trees under idols - alive, but the old, powerful oak was already for them a symbol of worship, applying gold and silver paint face features. The oak, affected by the lightning, was honored especially and wanings, sours, rods, arrows made from it were considered the best keepers from Hava.

19. Simargl, SEMARGL

Firebog. First of all, his name is mentioned in Russian chronicles - Pantheon KN. Vladimir, it happened, presumably, from the old-Russian "Smag" ("For him, the Karna clikna, and a strange porch on the runer of the earth, Smau Machyuchi in Flames Rose") i.e. Fire, flame language, fire-welded - half weather, semimas. Probably, the mediator between the reality of the world and the world of Middle Kingdom, which in the Vedic tradition is the god of fire - Agni. He is a naughty (fiery) snake from conspiracies. Mentioned in the Passaevsky Collection of St. Gregory (14th century) and the Zlatoust collections of 1271. Firebog-yogneby, according to the "Veda Slavs" Verkovich, in Bulgarians;

Flag of Yoghn God!
Flaws are clear Slyona!
Chi Heating on the Zea Ta.
Pacrevavav Tile Zeach ...
... Crew Maghana,
That co niche and glled.

He, quite possibly, Rarog, Rařík - Son of Svarog, according to Czech medieval sources. Already in the Orthodox time in PPA, according to AK. B.A.Rybakova, named is transferred - the god of soil, plant roots, plant forces, but there is no reason for the identification of transfer and semargram. This correlation has, of course, a certain sacral meaning, since plants under the influence of sunlight, as if punched (horn) the soil and went to the sun, but semargl with the Sun is also not connected.

The identification of this god with Iranian Haymourv (a giant magic bird) we believe unjustified, but probably there is a connection with the heat-bird (fiery bunny of happiness), bringing his happiness.

In the Middle Ages, it was incorrectly understood under the name of the two gods at once: "For the sake of the sake of the Hrstian game of Berthovy Play, I eat dancemanie, Gudba, Songs Myskaya and Zhwah Idlskaa, others are praying for fires and Vilam and Mokoshi and Sima and Ragla and Perun and Rhoda and Nimitiates "(" Word about Mazoimania "on the list of the XVI century).

The interpretation of the Reli as a separate lizard-like deity is not justified. Recognizing it, you will have to prove that Prince Vladimir has established pillars and Sim and Raggla, whereas there is no instructions.

SEARMGL and Under his own name, let's say in the word of a certain Christ the XIV century: "I firewood I will pray, I Chesnikovok - God, I make it anyone who will be a feast, and they are put in buckets I and the Bowl. , having fun do not land the essence of heretic. "

Semarlagoga-Welmer was honored in all those days when the People's Calendar Pedit's signs about the fire and fire. On April 14, Marin burns in a ritual flame and, together with her, SEARGL TURNING LINE SNOW. September 17 - ahead of the bunk, perhaps gage. Semargram-Wajerch Chew from 14 to 21 November in the Washer, the image of the Welsh Fire merged with the image of Archangel Michael with a fiery sword.

20. Horse, Khoros

God of a sun disk. Note that the reverence of the Sun as the planets and sunlight is found in many nations. So, from the Etruscans, the God of the Sun Disc - the effort, and the Lights - the God of Kave; In the ancient Greeks, the solar disk - Helios, and the light of the Sun - Apollo; In Rusich, the God of Sunlight is todaybog, and the God of the Sun Disc is Horse.

The cult is tuned to the steppe and forest-steppe zone of Slavic lands, the name of this God is mentioned in the Russian chronicles of Pantheon KN. Vladimir, in the apocryph "Battle of the Virgin Music", in Pia "about Vladimir's idols", "Memory and praise Vladimir" and the lives of "Blessed Volodimer", "The Word of a Some Christ Holyubets", "the word about how the first goal is only "He comes from" conversation of the three saint ".

"The word about the regiment of Igor" testifies to a certain night path of Horsa, because Vseslav was lying in the image of a wolf at night: "Vnislav the prince of People's judge, Prince of Grandge ridge, and the wolf spent on the night; From Kyieva Doryskheska to the chickens of Tmutornokan, the great Horse Wolf The path of interruption. "

"The Word and Revelation of the Holy Apostles": "In the prester, the greatness of the gods of the ward and Horsew and Trojan and Inii Mons and Horsa and Trojan and Inii Many people were the essence of the first person in Elias, and Cyprus, Trojan Karia in Rome." "... Other on Okraniyami pray to the EMOD damned nerd, Horsewood, Moksha, Vilamy ..."

Welcoming Horsa, the Slavs drove the dances and built him the sanctuary - Homorins, choirs. In Orthodoxy, it is associated with Georgy Victorious and as a solar deity must be a rider and Smeaker, probably, he is the God of Mirokor in something similar with Metro.

Himeca Wunderer, who traveled by Russia later than 1581 described the image of Horse near Pskov: "Corsa (i.e. Horse), which stands on a snake, having a sword in one hand, and in the other - a fire beam." Hado note the undoubtedly significant work of the researcher from Russia Alexey Bychkov, who attracted the many previously inaccessible Western sources inaccessible to us, similarly describing Horsa (and a number of other Slavic gods in the late Middle Ages).

With the name of Horsa, are probably associated in Russian such words: well, Horuv, choir associated with the true order of things (right) and joint affairs. Horsa is the God of the world order associated with the running of the Sun. Horse and Dazhibogogo correlate as Greek Helios and Apollo. The God of Havi could be referred to as opposed to him with black khosor, i.e. The same sunny disk, but being on the night side of the world. The image dates back to the times of deep antiquity and the Stema Miof. Perhaps, Scrolotes are Kolo-Ksai (Sun-King) - the son of Targita (Kuznez Svarog), and then God Horse - Welmer.

Note that the roots of "good" and "kolo" semantically bind to the concept of round. The dance is a circle from the people who have taken for the hands of people going in a circle, choirs - a circular building, chorugwe - something uniting military circle. With the root of "Kolo" such round items like a bell, a kolobok (round side), a column. The last concept is directly related to the change in solar cycles. Horsa Day - Resurrection, like Dazhbog, Metal - Chervona Gold. Days of Horsa coincide with any sunflower, for example, the summer - on June 21 to 25 (Kupala), Autumn - September 21 - 23 (Avenue Small, Tausen, Autumn Khoros). Hepremnaya Horsa Removal Attribute - dance.

21. Mara, Sea

She is the same Mara - the goddess of death in the late origin of the "Collabra manuscript" and Marzava by A. Frenzel ("De Marzava, Dea Morte, Dea Mortis"). Moran in Chekhov in the Late Middle Ages - the goddess is not just death, but also winter.

For the expulsion of Mary, a kocherga was used and cauting the settlement. With the dark side of the goddess associated with such concepts like sea, marrots, the sea, like a dangerous environment, a nightmare. The goddess itself is the hypostasis of the oldest great mother - the mistress of life and death, and in this case is the dark side of Makoshi or Yaga in her dark hypostasis. He accidentally compared with a hacatoo. Marrene is honored at the statement - Srechu, February 15, it is asked, so as not to delay, and the name is spring.

Its names and beautiful Mrs. (Krasolokani), as well as Milku or Milda (cute). The largest sanctuary was alive in the Poland city of Ratibor. Foreign authors of the 15-17 centuries redraw from each other. Her image in the form of a bunch of naked woman with fruits in her hands. According to the semantics, the name of the goddess is close to the word "life" and is associated with the idea of \u200b\u200bwealth, as in words: on withdrawal, lived. Strykovsky binds some "god of wind of the noisy alive" and the weather, "God of clear and fun days." Two centuries later, Pocris says about God is alive as the Supreme, and the Son of Some God, the Tri. Proski's "Creator of life, long and happy well-being, especially those who hear the first cuckoo cry: it was believed that this Supreme Lord of the Universe turns into a cuckoo in order to declare life lifespans:". However, this is later a myth-making.

It is likely that it meets with the mari to consult. Etymologically related to the ejection, portrait and prov.

Himself asked the question: Do I know Russian mythology? At first I even doubted: is it? It was thought that this should be, but I did not know her at all. Almost nothing.
