Slavic Paganism. From Perun and Veles to the Cult of the Bear and the Chicken God
In the paganism of the Eastern Slavs, the significance of each myth, each rite, and the name of each god is a mystery that requires almost detective investigation. There are so few sources that one has to gather knowledge literally...
grain by grain and reconstruct beliefs by collecting disparate facts and fragmentary mentions.
From this book, you will learn what the Slavic pantheon really looked like (and why Perun and Veles are not just "gods of thunder and cattle"), where pagan roots are hidden in Christian holidays, and why the "Book of Veles" is not a historical source but a literary mystification.
