The ancient Slavs did not divide nature into living and nonliving. Everything that surrounded them was endowed with life, be it trees, animals or stones. Therefore, in those days, people worshiped the forces of nature - they deified the sun, the moon and natural phenomena, attributing a divine origin to all this, and believing that natural phenomena depended on the will of the gods. Therefore, in order to achieve the favor of the gods, people tried in every possible way to appease them. To do this, special sacred rituals were held at certain times of the year, sacrifices were made to the gods, and in prayers people asked the gods for help and thanked them for their successes. Each Slavic tribe could have its own separate gods, or the functions of their deity differed from the functions of the deity of another tribe. And the deities, for example, of the Western Slavs, could be very different from the deities of the southern Slavs. Moreover, about some deities there may be many different traditions and legends, but about other deities, on the contrary, information can be very scarce and, if you compare different sources, even contradictory. In this book we will talk about the beliefs of the ancient Slavs, about their pantheon, about Slavic gods, about Slavic spirits and heroes of Slavic epics.
