| Just thought I'd drop a short intro, as the newbie, lol. I'm from AL, solitary practitioner, ecletic witch - mostly Celtic, Greek, Slavic pantheons. |

Hi!
Just wondering...where's a good source on Slavic pantheons. I'm Polish/Bohemian by blood and yet I know next to nothing about the gods of my ancestors. (I am drawn to Arianhrod and Cernunnos).
Thanks and BB
Joey |

Welcome TaranisKai!
The Gods Of Slavic and Baltic Mythology
Slavic and Baltic Gods
Introduction
A very strange range of Gods ruling from Poland to the Baltic, the Czech Republic and Slovakia to the Ukraine.
From simple do-it-yourself Gods of Digging A Hole In The Ground to ones with three silver heads and a golden veil in a temple full of wealth, they cover a lot of ground.
The very word 'Deity' may actually be of Baltic origin, deriving from the God DIEVAS, who has to be the all-time definitive deity.
To our delight we have had information that the Gods of Lithuania are alive and well, and being worshipped under the mantle of Romuva. Furthermore the habit has now spread to America.
If you pore over ancient maps and peer into history books you will find Lithuania has always done its own thing.
The last country in Europe to accept Christianity, Lithuania managed to keep its own language, not get pole-axed by the Poles, or be pushed out by Prussia. It still retained its own customs and identity, even as a republic of Russia. The boundaries once spread from the Baltic to the Black Sea, including the Ukraine and large chunks of Western Russia. So now you know.
REGIONS COVERED: Russia, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia (ex-Czechoslovakia), Prussia, the Baltic. And so on...
Many Gods are spread across different regions, cultures and tribes. We've tried to pin them down to a particular area if possible. But amendments and corrections are always welcome, especially from people with first-hand knowledge. So if you live in the region and would like to comment, we'd love to hear from you. Contact us here.
TRIBES, CULTURES AND PEOPLES COVERED: The Slavic and Baltic peoples, including Russians, Lithuanians, Czechoslovakians, Prussians.
