Unlike ancient Greek or Egyptian, Hindu and Chinese mythology, there are no written records of Slavic mythology before the arrival of Saints Cyril and Methodius to Slavic lands in 862.
Archaeological evidence of old Slavic cult images and shrines have been found, but little can be extrapolated from them other than confirming existing historical records.
But, fragments of old religion can be found surviving still in folk customs, stories and songs.
Lots of christian saints bare the traits of old Slavic gods due to rapid conversion to Christianity most famous being St. Ilija / Perun combo.
As Christianity was introduced as a religion of the elite, for the rural majority of the medieval Slavs, old myths remained strong.
Christian priests in Slavic countries, fought against dvoeverie for centuries, because to Slavic peasant, Christianity was jut an addition to an old Slavic religion. So it all became the melting pot of Slavic and Roman paganism, Christianity and when tribes began coming from the North, even the Nordic mythology!
Magic rituals are practiced to this day in some rural parts of Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and in Russia there is a whole part of Siberia where Christianity never came and old religion is very much alive.
Collecting myths, legends and magic of the old Slavic religion is fascinating to me! Old gods, old magic...
Much more interesting to me than Nors mythology that is so popular around the world.
What do you think, which religious customs Christians in Slavic countries follow today are actually Slavic pagan magic rituals?
