Slavic-Aryan gods. Vedic and Slavic deities: the root of a single culture

»Community of Aryan, Vedic and Slavic gods

In India, many Gods and Goddesses are depicted with light brown hair, while the Hindus themselves have black hair.

For example, the main deity Rudra, Shiva, is also depicted with light brown hair. All this is the memory of the arrival of the Aryans in India and the introduction of the Vedic Culture to them.

Kryshen (in India they called him Krishna) is the son of the Almighty and the goddess Maya, that is, he was a brother to the very first creator of the world, Rod, although he was much younger than him. He was born not by chance, but to fulfill a great mission. At that time, great cold weather fell on the world of Yavi. People lost the gift of the gods, fire, and died out, freezing. Chernobog was the cause of these great calamities. The roof flew from heaven on a white-maned horse, gave people fire, and then fought on the shores of the Arctic Ocean with Chernobog and defeated him. This deed Kryshnya is sung in the sacred Book of Kolyada. Then he went on a wandering around the world of Yavi and arrived on the Sunny Island (Rhodes in the Mediterranean Sea), where he met the daughter of the mistress of the sea and the sun Ra - the beautiful Rada.

In India, the activities of Krishna are described in more detail in the Bhagavad Gita and other Vedic Indian literature.

One of the most important deities in India is Vishnu (among the Slavs, this is Vyshen):


Vishnu

And of course you cannot miss Brahma, also one of the most revered Indian deities. It has multiple heads and matches the Slavic Triglav.


Brahma

God Rama is also of great importance for Hindus. It corresponds to the Slavic RamKhat or Ramkh.

And the list is endless, because the similarities are obvious. Only the main Deities and their comparison are given here.

Hindus still call their children exclusively by the names of Gods and Goddesses. And the most common names are the names of the Gods given here by me. These are Krishna, Rama, Vishnu, Shiva and, accordingly, female names are the names of the wives of these Gods, such as Sita, Lakshmi, Radha, etc.

Worldview of the ancient Slavs, this is NOT a CULT of worship, it is a CULTURE and an ancient systematized Knowledge-Teaching permeated with the knowledge and experience of the Ancestors, with trepidation referring to the surrounding world, deifying all its manifestations! Slavic Vedism is Faith, the temple of which was Nature itself.
In a broad sense, the Vedic culture of the Russian People is the essence of the Russian Folk culture, in its foundations one with the culture of all Slavic Peoples. These are Russian historical traditions, way of life, language, oral folk art (legends, epics, songs, fairy tales, tales and so on), ancient monuments of writing with all the knowledge contained in them, Slavic wisdom (philosophy), ancient and modern Folk art, the totality of all ancient and modern Beliefs.


Slavs(Old Slavic wordsѣnє, Belorussian Slavs, Ukrainian words "Jani, Bulgarian Slavs, Serbian and Macedonian Slovenia, Croatian and Bosnian Slaveni, Slovenian Slovani, Polish Słowianie, Czech Slované, Slovak. Slovania, Kashubian Słowiónie, v.-puddle Słowjenjo, n.-puddle Słowjany) is the largest ethno-linguistic community in Veneya's Europe.

There are several versions of the origin of the ethnonym "Slavs".
From two related Slavic words going back to the common Indo-European root ḱleu̯- "rumor, fame":
- wordsѣnot- these are “people, carrying a word, speaking“ our way ””, in contrast to the Germans - “dumb”, that is, “who do not know our language”, “strangers”;
- glory, that is, glorious - "glorious", glorify their Gods and Ancestors.
From the Aryan word s-lau̯-os "people" (with Indo-European "mobile s"), cf. Old Greek λᾱός ;.
From the toponym, apparently, the name of the river (compare the epithet of the Dnieper Slavutich, the rivers Sluya, Slava, Slavnitsa in different Slavic lands). This version is preferred by some linguists (for example, M. Fasmer) due to the fact that the suffixes -ѣн (in) and -yan (in) are found only in derivatives of place names.
This ethnonym as a tribal one was entrenched in the course of the ethnogenesis of the Slovaks (with a slightly different suffix), Slovenes, and Slovins. The ethnonym "Slovene" as the main one, apart from these peoples, was also worn by the Ilmenian Slovenes - the inhabitants of the Novgorod land.

Slavs-Slavs - Sl O vom sl a vyat their Gods and Ancestors!


Already many millennia ago, the ancient Slavs had an integral system of worldview, which was based on three main spheres: Yavi, Navi and Pravi - the original ancient Slavic trinity.
The universe of the ancient Slavs was multidimensional and represented a structure in which a person lived according to the laws of the Roda-Svarog, in accordance with the natural astronomical calendar. In this evolutionary device Reality was considered as the earthly phase of being, Nav was heavenly (subtle sphere of life), and Rule expressed a single Law that pervaded both spheres. Since the Slavs were inextricably linked with nature, being a part of it and cognized natural laws from the inside, through themselves, their perception of the world was alive, dynamic and multidimensional, like Nature itself.

Initially, the Slavs called themselves ORTHODOX, i.e. glorifying Rule.


The ideological basis of the Folk culture is the idea of ​​the community of the spirit of people speaking the same language, the understanding of the unity of the goals of the People (his self-preservation, saving and augmentation of spiritual and material wealth, and so on)... Regardless of the worldview, Faith or unbelief, all who classify themselves as a given People and associate their fate with it agree with these goals.

In a narrow sense, Vedic is the essence of folk religious culture. The general ideological basis of this culture is the Faith in the existence of the spiritual world and the rational principle in the surrounding Nature. This Faith is supported by both spiritual practice and Vedic theology.

VEDISM is a cosmic worldview. This is a holistic knowledge about the principles of the harmonious functioning of the Universe, expressed in the idea of ​​the interaction of cosmic forces, their multiple manifestations in one and the same - in the multiple.

The ideological main Russian Vedic religious culture is Russian Vedism, or Pra-Vedism, the righteous Faith that preceded the Vedism of India and Iran. Russian Vedism is the essence of the Russian national variety of the Vedic Faith. Accordingly, the Russian Vedic culture is the Russian national variety of the Vedic culture. Russian Vedism is international in content as much as the Vedic Faith itself is international, and national in image, language and origin.
There are three main branches of the Vedic tree - IRANIAN ZOROASTRISM, INDIAN VEDISM and SLAVIC VEDISM, which have similar ideas about the structure of the Universe. Cosmic forces are embodied, first of all, in the images of native gods; this philosophical concept of gods is distinguished by its depth and capacity. The concept of the One God, which manifests itself in all sorts of faces, that is, "the diversity of the one" is contrasted with the concept of "many different", as a category of disparate elements that are not connected into a single whole. The vast pantheon of Slavic gods, presented in the "Veles Book", is a complete universal system operating on the basis of the real laws of Genesis. At the head of this system, or rather, in the center of it, there is a striking image - THE GREAT TRIGLAV, consisting of Svarog-Perun-Sventovid.

Svarog(from Skt. svrga - "sky", "heavenly radiance") The Supreme God, Creator and Creator.
Perun(from Old Slavic "pr" - struggle, battle; and also - the first, first rune) - the god of Fire, Lightning, cosmic Energy, which moves the world and transforms the Universe.
Sventovid(from "light" and "see") - the God of Light, thanks to which people become familiar with the world around them.
Meanwhile, all three faces - "THIS IS A GREAT MYSTERY, BECAUSE SVAROG IS AT THE SAME TIME PERUN AND SVENTOVID." Thus, indissoluble unity and mutual overflow is the essence of the Great Triglav.
The Divine principle among the Slavs permeates the entire Cosmos, starting from the incarnation in the Great Triglav, through the other Triglavs to the very Small ones (Steblich, Listvich, Travich), each of which, nevertheless, occupied its own place in the divine hierarchy, being components of the One and Indivisible ...
Thus, the Vedic worldview is based on understanding the essence of natural natural mechanisms and building your life in accordance with the principles that follow from this.
In Vedism, one does not need to believe in the existence, for example, of the Sun God Ra, in his power and his life force. It is enough to look up, see the Sun, feel its energy and see the influence of the Sun on life. It is not necessary to believe or not to believe in the God of fire Semargl - we constantly encounter fire in life. You don't need to believe in anything, open your eyes and heart wide enough, and then Nature will tell us all her living secrets.
The forces ruling the universe among the Slavs were not antagonistic: Chernobog and Belobog are two sides of being, like day and night, they oppose, "fight on both sides of Svarga", but at the same time are forces that balance the world. The same is with the images of MORA / MOROK / and MARA - the Gods of Darkness, Winter and Death: extinction, cold is one of the states of the eternal cycle of the Universe, without decay there is no rebirth, without death there is no life. All manifestations in Nature are varieties of its natural state. And this deepest understanding of divine principles was characteristic of the ancient Slavs much more clearly than to us, cut off from Nature, pampered by the "blessings of civilization", often forgetting their connection with the single organism of the Earth and the Cosmos.

Slavs - children and grandchildren of the gods... The Slavs are responsible for everything. Because taking on the degree of responsibility for the quality of the surrounding world is the most important step on the path of becoming oneself as a Creator. The ancestors of the Slavs thanked the Gods and praised their greatness and wisdom, for which they were called "Slavs". And that means their descendants must create the world in which they live. Create your own family, Clan, relationships with other Clans, and nearby plants, animals, birds, lands, waters, fossils. Earthly life is given to man for improvement and approaching the Gods by "purity of body and soul." It depends on the degree of knowledge of the laws of Rule and their fulfillment on the earthly path, whether a person becomes a deity or goes into the category of low-frequency entities.

In recent years, in our country, interest has flared up in the ancient history of our Ancestors - the Slavs, their Beliefs and culture. Many publications appeared, full of such phrases as Russian Vedas, Slavic-Arias, etc. Many are trying to draw linguistic and cultural parallels with India and find out who influenced whom.

Indeed, there are a lot of similar moments, and I will cite the most striking of them. Of the entire vast family of Indo-European languages, Russian and Sanskrit are the closest to each other. (language of ancient India), and also there is an amazing similarity of the pre-Christian cults of the Slavs with the religion of the ancient Aryans - Hinduism. Both of them call books of knowledge - Vedas. Veda (Vedi) is the third letter of the Russian initial letter (Az, Gods, Vedas ...)... It is curious that even the national currencies of the two countries are similarly named. We have rubles, they have rupees. Linguistic coincidences reject any doubts and confirm the kinship of the Russian language and Sanskrit.

Perhaps the most surprising is the information in both traditions about a certain land in the far north - Daaria, Arctida, which in the European (Greek) tradition is called Hyperborea. In his Centuries, Michel Nostradamus calls the Russians “ Hypereborean people", That is, those who came from the Far North.
The ancient Russian source "The Book of Veles" also speaks of the exodus of our ancestors from the Far North in the period of about 20 thousand BC. due to the sharp cooling caused by the global cataclysm. According to many descriptions, it turns out that the climate in the north was previously different, as evidenced by the finds of fossilized tropical plants in the northern latitudes.

M.V. Lomonosov in his geological work "On the Layers of the Earth" wondered where in the Far North of Russia "So many extraordinary large ivories have taken over in places that are not convenient for them ..." .
One of the ancient scholars, Pliny the Elder, wrote about the Hyperboreans as a real ancient People who lived near the Arctic Circle and genetically linked with the Hellenes through the cult of Apollo of Hyperborean. His Natural History (IV, 26) literally says: “This country is all in the sun, with a fertile climate; there are no discords and all sorts of diseases ... ".
This place in Russian folklore was called the Sunflower Kingdom. The word Arctic (Arctida) comes from the Sanskrit root Arka - the Sun.
Recent studies in the north of Scotland have shown that 4 thousand years ago the climate at this latitude was comparable to the Mediterranean and there were many thermophilic animals.
Russian oceanographers and paleontologists also established that in 30-15 thousand BC. the Arctic climate was mild enough. Academician A.F. Treshnikov came to the conclusion that the underwater mountain formations - the Lomonosov and Mendeleev ridges - rose above the surface of the Arctic Ocean 10-20 thousand years ago, and there was a zone of temperate climate.

There is also a map of the famous medieval cartographer Gerard Mercator, dated 1569, in which Hyperborea is depicted as a huge arctic continent of four islands with a high mountain in the middle. This universal mountain is also described in the Hallin myths. (Olympus) and in the Indian epic (Measure).
The authority of this card is beyond doubt, since it already depicts the strait between Asia and America, which was discovered by Semyon Dezhnev only in 1648 and began to be named after V. Bering only in 1728. It is obvious that this map was compiled according to some unknown ancient sources.
According to some Russian scientists, there is indeed a seamount in the waters of the Arctic Ocean, almost reaching the ice shell. Scientists suggest that she, like the aforementioned ridges, plunged into the depths of the sea relatively recently.

Daariya-Arctida (Hyperborea) is also marked on the map of the French mathematician, astronomer and geographer Orontius Phineus in 1531. It is also featured on one of the late 16th century Spanish maps held in the Madrid National Library.

Map of Orontius Phineus (1531) - left / center / - Daarius; right Antarctica

Map of Gerard de Yode (1593)

This disappeared ancient land is mentioned in the epics and tales of the northern peoples. About the journey to the Sunflower Kingdom (Hyperborea) tells an ancient legend from the collection of folklorist P.N. Rybnikova:

“He flew to the kingdom under the sun,
Climbs off an airplane eagle (!)
And he began to walk around the kingdom,
Walk along the Sunflower "

Moreover, it is interesting that this "airplane eagle" has a propeller and fixed wings: "a bird flies and does not flap its wing."

Indian scientist, Dr. Gangadhar Tilak in his work " Arctic homeland in the Vedas"Quotes from the oldest source of the Rig-Veda, stating that "Constellation" The Seven Great Sages " (Big Dipper) is right over our heads "... If a person is in India, then, according to astronomy, the Big Dipper will be visible only above the horizon. The only place where it is directly overhead is in the area beyond the Arctic Circle. So, the characters of the Rig Veda lived in the north?
It is difficult to imagine Indian sages sitting in the middle of snowdrifts in the Far North, but if you raise the sunken islands and change the biosphere (see above), then the descriptions of the Rig Veda take on meaning. Probably, at that time the Vedas and Vedic culture were the property of not only India, but many peoples.

According to some philologists, from the Sanskrit name of Mount Meru (located in the center of Daaria / Hyperborea /) occurs Russian word Peace with three main meanings - the universe, people, harmony. This is very similar to the truth, since according to Indian cosmology, Mount Meru on the metaphysical plane of being penetrates the poles of the Earth and is an invisible axis around which the world of people revolves, although physically this mountain (she is Olympus) now not manifested.

So, a cross-analysis of different cultures speaks of the existence in the recent past of a highly developed civilization in the north, which disappeared under unclear circumstances. Inhabited this land by those who Glorified the Gods (universal hierarchy) and therefore they were called Slavs ( NOTE: more precisely - Slavic-Ariami). They believed that one of their ancestors was the sun god (Yaro, Yarilo) and therefore they were Yaro-Glory. Another frequently used term in connection with the ancient Slavs is Aryus. The word Arius in Sanskrit means "Noble", "Knowing the highest values ​​of life."

Usually it was called the upper class of the Vedic society in ancient India. Some researchers see a connection between this word and the name of the divine progenitor of the Slavs - Yar.

The "Book of Veles" says that it was Yar, after a sharp cold snap, that brought the surviving tribes of the Slavs from the Far North to the region of the modern Urals, from where they then went south and reached Penzhi (Punjab state in modern India)... From there they were later taken to the territory of Eastern Europe by the Aryan commander Yaruna. In the ancient Indian epic "Mahabharata" this plot is also mentioned and Yaruna is named by his Indian name - Arjuna. By the way, Arjuna literally means "Silver, bright" and has something in common with the Latin Argentum (Silver). It is possible that another interpretation of the word Arius as "white man" also goes back to this root Ar (Yar).
Also see books by V.N. Demina "Mysteries of the Russian North", N.R. Guseva "Russians through the millennia" (Arctic theory), "Book of Veles" with translation.

As you know, all ancient cultures were based on the understanding that a person is dependent on external forces, which have their own personifications. (Deities)... Ritual culture consists of certain ceremonies that associate the beggar with the source of a particular energy. (rain, wind, heat, etc.)... All Nations have the notion that these Deities, although they are in the highest regions of the cosmos, thanks to their power, are able to hear human requests and respond to them. Below I will give a table of correspondence of the names of the Deities who were worshiped in Russia and in India.

I have given only those names in which there is a complete or partial match, but there are also many different names and functions. After this (although not complete) the list of Deities, the idea of ​​the Paganism of the ancient Beliefs of Russia and India naturally arises.

However, this is a hasty and superficial conclusion. Despite such an abundance of Deities, there is a clear hierarchy, which is built into a pyramid of power, at the Top of which is the highest source of everything (Vishniy or Vishnu)... The rest simply represent His authority as ministers and deputies. The President, being singular, is represented through an extensive system. In the “Book of Veles” it is said about this: “There are those who are deluded who count the Gods, thus dividing Svarga (Upper world)... But is Vyshen, Svarog and others - the essence of the multitude? After all, God is both one and many. And let no one divide the multitude and say that we have many Gods. " (Krynitsa, 9)... Paganism in Russia also existed, but later, when Vyshny was forgotten and the concept of hierarchy was violated.

Also, our ancestors believed that reality is divided into three levels Rule, Reality and Nav. The world of rule is a world where everything is correct, or an ideal upper world. The world of Revelation is our manifest, obvious world of people. Navi world (non-Reveal)- this is a negative, undetected, lower world.

The Indian Vedas also speak of the existence of three worlds - the Upper World, where goodness dominates; the middle world, overwhelmed by passion; and the lower world, immersed in ignorance. Such a similar understanding of the world gives a similar motivation in life - it is necessary to strive for the world of Rule or goodness. And in order to get into the world of Pravi, you need to do everything right, that is, according to the law of God. From the root Prav comes such words as Prav-yes (what gives Rule), U-governing, Management, Government. That is, the point is that this governance should be based on the concept of (Higher reality) and real government should spiritually uplift those who follow the ruler, Leading his charges on the paths of rule.

The next similarity in the spiritual realm is the recognition of the presence of God in the heart. This concept is stated in the Indian source Bhagavad-gita. In Slavic thought, this understanding is given through the word "conscience". Literally "Conscience" means "according to the message, with the message." "Message" is a message or Veda. Living According to the News (Veda) emanating from God in the heart as His information field, this is “conscience”. When a person comes into conflict with the unwritten laws emanating from God, he conflicts with God and himself suffers from disharmony in his heart.

We, the descendants of the knowledgeable Slavs, were familiar with the Pantheon of Greek, Roman, Scandinavian, Indo-Iranian, Egyptian and other Gods even from school. The mythology of these peoples can be easily encountered in textbooks and books on the history of the Ancient World. However, these books do not contain a section on Ancient Rus (why? - information for thought). In most historical books, the opinion prevails that the Slavs, as a civilized people, developed only with the adoption of Judeo-Christianity, although historical and especially archaeological data testify:

For many thousands of years, our Ancestors preserved themselves as a nation, cherished their native language, culture and customs based on an inextricable connection with Nature, courageously defending their territorial and spiritual independence. Great states, empires were born and died around, and sometimes many tribes and peoples disappeared from the face of the Earth, but our Ancestors, possessing a deep understanding of the fundamental principles of nature and being inextricably linked with Nature, learned to live by Conscience in harmony with Nature, becoming a part of it , thanks to which they were able to transmit the fire of life to us through the centuries.

Glory to our Gods and Ancestors!

Vedas and gods of India

The Vedas (from Skt. Veda - "knowledge") were created at the turn of the 2nd-1st millennia BC. NS. They represent the so-called corpus of Vedic texts, compiled in chronological order and dedicated to ancient Indian mythology and literature. The Vedas are divided into several parts:

- 4 collections of the most ancient Vedas (sayakhits);

- 4 collections of religious hymns and ritual formulas (Rigveda, Samaveda, Yajurveda, Atharvaveda);

- theological treatises, explanations to the Vedas, comments on the priestly ritual, myths and traditions (brahmanas);

- prose and poetic works associated with brahmanas (aranyakas and upanishads).

They are the sacred texts of Brahmanism, therefore they are perceived as a revelation of God (from Sanskrit shruti - “heard”), transmitted orally and accompanied by a special rhythm of speech. Almost all works are syncretic: the interpretation and recommendations for rituals are combined in them with philosophical and moral reasoning, the details of magical actions - with scientific ideas, myths and folk epic - with elements of early literary genres.

The general idea of ​​Indian mythology arises when combining information extracted from Vedic, Buddhist and Hindu religious traditions, genetically related to each other. The main feature of Indian religions is polytheism. In each of them there are cults of numerous gods endowed with human properties. According to Vedic mythology, the role of the main god is played by Indra - the god of thunder and warrior. Varuna is the god of justice, the keeper of world order, the lord of the waters. And Agni is the god of fire and the keeper of the hearth. Although the Indians always made sacrifices to their deities, turned to them their prayers for health and prosperity, and also carefully guarded the cult, the Vedic hymns clearly show the idea that there is nothing eternal in the world, that the gods are mortal, and at the origins of the universe there is a certain faceless deity - an abstract substance.

The pantheon of Vedic gods consists of 33 gods, which are usually divided into heavenly, atmospheric and earthly. The heavenly gods are Ashvins, Varuna, Vivasvat, Vishnu, Dyaus, Mitra and other adityas, Surya, Savitar, Pushan, Ushas. Atmospheric include Apas, Aja Ekapad, Apam Napat (Agni), Ahi Budhnya, Vayu, Vata, Indra, Matarishvan, Maruta, Rudra, Parjanya, Trita Aptya. Terrestrial deities are Brihaspati, Lgni, Saraswati, Soma, Prithivi, etc. Later texts contain a different qualification of these gods - they are combined into 3 large groups depending on what they personified: vasu (natural phenomena and elements), rudras ( organs of vital activity) and aditya (month of the year). Another classification is known, built according to the principle of the performed social role: the magic-legal group, the military group and the deities that patronize fertility.

The words "India" and "Hinduism" (Hindu) are associated with the name of the main river in the north-west of the country (Sindhu-Hind-Ind). Indians call their state Bharat, and the main religion (Hinduism) - Dharma, which means "religious law." It applies to all types of social activities: political, social, legal, religious, ethical, cultural, etc.

According to the cosmogonic myths of the Vedas, the universe was preceded by chaos, in which there was nothing that exists, everything was indistinctly fluid, but there was something single. The creation of the world was carried out under the influence of waters, which gave birth to the Universe and became its basis. According to one version, the waters, thickening and hardening, created the earth. Another theory of the universe testifies that first an egg appeared from the water, from which the creator god Brahman emerged, then the egg split into gold and silver halves, which later became heaven and earth. According to another version, the earth and the sun emerged from a lotus growing in the waters. Finally, later myths claim that the universe was created from various parts of the body of the first man Purusha, which was due to the ancient practice of human sacrifice.

The central position in the Vedas is occupied by the myths about the reconstruction of the created Universe, describing the struggle of the god Indra with the demons, who were the embodiment of primary chaos, and the arrangement of a new world by him. Indra defeated the monsters that hid the sun, water and livestock, and his victory was interpreted as the recreation of space, in which the leading role was assigned to fertility, offspring and wealth.

Hinduism took shape in the 1st-2nd centuries AD. e., having absorbed the Vedic culture, Brahmanism and partly Buddhism. It was a collection of various religious movements (including Vedism) based on polytheism, monotheism and pantheism.

As a religion of a new stage in the development of ancient Indian society, Hinduism assumed the emergence of a creator God, assigned him a leading role and established a strict hierarchical system within the pantheon. Gradually, Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu began to stand out from the multitude of gods. They were perceived as manifestations of a single deity - trimurti. Brahma, the most revered then in India, was considered the creator of the world, the creator of social laws and the division of society into castes (varnas). But gradually Shiva (destroyer) and Vishnu (guardian) emerged in the trimurti, as a result of which 2 main directions in Hinduism arose - Shaivism and Vishnuism. In the process of development, they were supplemented by various cults. For example, the doctrine of avatars - multiple reincarnations of God during his descent into the human world began to be associated with the image of Vishnu, and Shiva, who personified fertility, was transformed into the image of a shaman representing various local beliefs (dancing Shiva, yogi in a state of meditation, a hermit in shabby clothes) ...

The cult of mother goddesses, or Tantrism, is popular in India. It belongs to the most ancient period of Indian civilization - proto-Indian. If in Vedism little attention was paid to female characters, and in the early period of the development of Hinduism, the goddess Devi was considered only as the wife of Shiva, then in the later period a similar image (Maha-devi) was developed most fully, since it absorbed many forms of goddesses - from high priestesses to small rural deities.

As can be seen from the cosmogonic myths, water played a fundamental role in the universe.

Slavic-Aryanpeople

He is in It has always been distinguished by its original and peculiar culture, about which numerous treatises by famous researchers and not so much have been written, starting with Herodotus and ending with modern historians. The strength of the spirit and the unique craving to learn the unknown are far from all the special character traits of the ancient Slavs. In order to convey their sacred knowledge accumulated over the centuries, the Slavs used a combination of metaphors and mythology.

At first glance, Slavic mythology is extremely simple, since it is based on symbolic and esoteric intersexuality. According to this paradigm, our ancestors lived and developed for more than one century. No one will argue that the modern world has changed very much, and not for the better. More and more people are becoming alien to the concept of "humanity, love, respect", but if among a thousand people there is at least one who is guided by such principles, then not everything is lost in our society.

Gods as the basis of Slavic mythology

The basis of the mythology of the Slavs- Slavic gods, amazing creatures that our ancestors worshiped for centuries, offered gifts, sang songs of praise. It is difficult to talk about whether there were real people behind the images of the gods, and this question is quite controversial. Perhaps in a few centuries the secret of the origin of the gods will be revealed, but now we will talk about the pantheon of Slavic gods in a slightly different context - their symbols, essence and ideas that were put into every bright and original image by our ancestors.

This section is dedicated to all the gods who occupied a certain place in the life and life of our ancestors. Gods who were worshiped, who were feared, who were glorified and revered. If we turn to the results of studies of chronicles and archaeological excavations, then on the territory of Ancient Russia in different time periods the gods of Slavic mythology changed their meanings somewhat - Light (Yasuni) and Dark (Dasuni) differed somewhat in different parts of Russia. The reason for this was internecine wars, and attacks from external enemies, and a rethinking of the nature of things, and inevitable progress. But at the same time, the list of Slavic gods and the scheme of Slavic gods remained practically unchanged - the supreme god was Rod (although there are references to Perun as the world ruler), Lada is one of the incarnations of the Rod, which combines vital energy, loyalty and love. It is worth saying that the list of the gods of Slavic mythology at different times varied somewhat and changed its composition, so it is impossible to unequivocally assert who was on this list. It is impossible to assert one hundred percent that the data on the gods given on our website have real documentary evidence - we have collected a maximum of information not only from open sources, but from highly specialized scientific works, so we hope that this data will appeal to connoisseurs of the commandments of the Slavic gods , and everyone interested.



Kostroma

This Slavic goddess was the sister of Kupala and has long symbolized the element of primordial water, fertility, harvest, summer warmth, helping lovers meet each other. All sources indicate that Kostroma and Kupala are indivisible images, since, not knowing that they are brother and sister, they fell in love, but could not come to terms with the fact that they could not be in a place as lovers. Kostroma has always symbolized girlish purity and femininity, embodying the image of true love - sincere and at the same time tragic. Want to know more about the goddess?

Kupala

Solar deity (also possible names Kupailo or Kupaila) but was often called Kupailo. It is the apotheosis of all the energy of the Sun and is similar

to the original elemental fire. Kupala cannot be imagined separately from Kostroma, his sister, who personifies water. According to the legend, Kupala and Kostroma, not knowing that they were brother and sister, were inflamed with true love for each other, but upon learning about blood ties, they committed suicide together. In the image of Kupala, the concepts of our ancestors about honor and justice, that truth always wins, are clearly expressed. Night on Ivan Kupala also migrated to Christianity, combining paganism and biblical stories. Invariably, the symbol of this god helped in love, recovery, spiritual and physical purification.

Mara


They can also call (Morena, Morana.) In the image of Mara, fertility and death, witchcraft and justice are simultaneously combined. In some sources, you can find information that Mara is the daughter of Kashchei, but in most literature it is widely believed that she is one of the three daughters of the first generation of gods who emerged from sparks from the hammer of Svarog on the sacred Alatyr. Mara always seems to be a beautiful young girl, but only her beauty is cold - fair skin, dark hair, bright clothes. This goddess could control the elements and various energies, but at the same time she used her powers only if she happened to be friends with Yaga. The symbol of Mary is ice, which combines energy, cold, and strength at the same time, therefore for the ancient Slavs this symbol was negative. Often it was Mara who symbolized winter, so the Slavs, during prayers to her, asked for not so strong cold weather and the early onset of spring.





Symbols

Makosh

The goddess Makosh is as ancient as the great Rod itself. She is original and she gave birth to the gods and life. In this case, Rod and Makosh are considered as two opposites - masculine and feminine, which gave rise to the entire universe.
The very name of the goddess Makoshi comes from the merger of two words: "kosh" or "kosht", which means destiny, destined, and the prefix "ma", which is an abbreviation of the word mother. It turns out that Makosh is a mother who knows the fate of everything she has generated. It is worth noting that the image of fate for many ancient peoples was associated with a cloth woven by three goddesses. In ancient Greek mythology, these were Moira, and in the Slavic epic, this niche was occupied by Makosh and her two assistants - Dolya and Nedolya. Together with the mother of all destinies, the goddess Makosh, they spun the canvas of the universe, and they tied together the lived life and the perfect deeds. Only they had the right to decide who lived and who died. The Slavs revered the goddess Makosh as the great Spinner of Destinies.

Perun

If the ancient Slavs heard thunder, then they knew that this was the work of Perun, the patron saint of valiant warriors, the son of Lada and Svarog, the most famous of the Svarozhich family. Regardless of who he is the supreme gods (son or grandson), he is one of the most famous gods worshiped by our ancestors. Many can draw an analogy with the ancient Greek Zeus, but Perun was always more loyal to people and ready to stand up for them. The image of Perun was imitated by many Slavic military leaders - a red cloak, a mighty horse and a club. The symbol of this god is an ax, which is both a weapon and a talisman for warriors, or a swastika. Prayers to Perun were always said by the defenders of their native land, who went for a just cause. In Christianity, Perun was not forgotten - he was simply replaced with the image of the prophet Elijah. Want to know more about God? The full description is here ➡

Rod is more than just the creator of the world. It is thanks to him that the universe appeared in the form that is familiar to us.

Before the appearance of Rod, there was neither light nor darkness, there was nothing. It was thanks to him that all living things appeared on earth. After the creation of the world, Rod divided it into Reality, Rule, Nav. The clan is the progenitor of all Slavic gods and great gods.

It is quite possible that they personified the destiny and fate in the fate of a person.
The goddess Karna is also present in the Roman pantheon, and she was revered by the ancient Romans as the goddess of human flesh. This version is supported by the fact that the alleged etymology of the name of the goddess Karna is rooted in the word "corn", which means "meat", "flesh".

In a later period, the ancient Romans worshiped the goddess Karna under the name Karda and even Cordelia. She was revered as the goddess of door locks. Of course, a slightly strange purpose for the goddess, but do not forget that the words we perceive today in the literal sense, were previously perceived by our ancestors more deeply. If among the Slavs, the goddess Karna was the goddess of the rebirth of the soul, then she led souls from one world to another, and vice versa. For the passage, a gate was necessary, call the door what you want. Perhaps, in the understanding of the ancient Romans, Karna was a goddess that guarded the passages to the other world.

Many people know that in Roman mythology the goddess of the hunt is Diana, and in Slavic Devan. This young slender hunter was considered the patroness of hunters and the entire forest world. But she did not like hunting for fun, not food (those who did this died from the bites of poisonous snakes). Devan had always had a bow and arrows in his hands, a cloak with a bear or wolf head on his shoulders. Despite her closeness to nature, Devan was not symbolized with totem animals, since she was not a warrior, but a hunter. The sanctuaries of this goddess are still found in old forests, which could not be entered on a moonlit night when she went hunting. At the same time, Dewana helps forest animals to survive in winter, avoid dangers, and not get caught by people. But the hunters were not offended by the attention - those of them who love nature and hunt for food could count on the help of the goddess. Want to know more about the goddess?

Roof

Roof is Rod's younger brother, although much younger. The purpose of this god is to help free people from the rule of Chernobog. According to legend, during the reign of Chernobog, people were left without fire, and Kryshen was able to return the fire to people, but he himself was captured in an ice prison. In this, he very much reminds everyone of the well-known Prometheus, who did the same feat. According to Slavic legends, Kryshen was a young and strong youth who was the patron saint of the sun's heat. Rooftop is often portrayed as a giant bird patrolling the air.

Conclusion

Slavic gods are not just interpretations of gods from other religions and beliefs, they are a separate category of beliefs that our ancestors developed for millennia. Everyone who is interested in the history of their people should know not only their Slavic gods, patrons by date of birth, but also everyone else, as they are an integral part of our history. Some skeptics may say that in Slavic mythology the symbols of the Slavic gods and the gods themselves very much resemble the ancient Greek and ancient Roman ones, but it is worth considering who borrowed the beliefs and traditions from whom. And that's not all the gods, the section will be replenished after the accumulation of information.
