Gods and goddesses of the ancient Slavs

A lavishly illustrated book about Slavic paganism

What deities did the ancient Slavs have? How did the local traditions of the Polabian Slavs, the Slavs in medieval Rus', and the Slavs in medieval Bohemia and Poland differ from each other? Was the pantheon of gods and goddesses unified, or did it differ significantly in each territory? What archaeological findings of pagan deities and their shrines are available to us in our search? And what did it actually mean to be a Slav in the Middle Ages?

This popular science publication presents the basic outlines of the religious culture of the ancient Slavs. It provides an overview of the most important data available to us about this religious system from the time before the Christianisation of the Slavs, and makes the latest results of current research accessible in an understandable way.
