a black and white photo with the words if you need to replace a fake slavic diet with an actual one, here are some suggestions

These Slavic gods and goddesses most likely never existed. They were either a misinterpretation of really existing traditions, or different kinds of translation mistakes. And sometimes—little more than wishful thinking and fiction. However, these are nice concepts, so I decided to visualize them even though they aren’t actual deities. Of course, this isn’t an exhaustive list. There are more, and also some of the Slavic deities are somewhat in the gray area: there are authentic sources…

symbols of veles dragon, snake, bear, wolf, owl, willow tree, grape vine, apple

Some Slavic neo pagans celebrate Veles’ Night on October 31 (kinda, instead of Halloween). I am not really convinced it is historically correct, but still—isn’t this a nice occasion to make a deeper dive into my favorite Slavic god? (In fact, just my favorite god) 🙋🏻‍♀️ What Slavic goddess or god should I post about next? 📚 Find more posts on Slavic culture, mythology and traditions in my ‘Slavic folklore’ highlights With love for all magical beings, Lida @lidapavlova_magic

a poster with the words symbols of mokosh

Mokosh is the Eastern Slavic goddess of water, earth, birth and life—but this is more nuanced than that (even though the credible information on Slavic deities is not as extensive as I would like it to be😅) So, here’s my deeper dive on Mokosh. I’ve got those on Morena and Veles, by the way—along with a lot of other Slavic folklore and mythology content: Baba Yaga, Kikimora, Domovoy, Leshy and much more. All of these are in my highlights Slavic folklore: @lidapavlova_magic With love for…

As a witch from Russia (living in Serbia), I’m happy to tell you more about this household spirit🤎 See my Slavic folklore highlights for more: goddesses, gods, and, of course, Baba Yaga🧙🏻‍♀️ With love for all magical beings, @lidapavlova_magic

Side notes on Slavic goddesses: 1 Slavic culture isn’t like, for example, Greek one. The pantheon is underdeveloped, a lot of mythology is lost, and the names, attributes and myths strongly vary throughout different regions. All this is richly compensated by intricate and detailed folklore about spirits and creatures (and I’ve got a whole highlight ‘Slavic folklore’ about that). 2 Remember me saying that the details about the deities vary a lot? That is, for instance, true for Zarya…
