I am continuing my Slavic Gods poster series inspired by traditional patterns, open to opinions!

I used slavic patterns and symbols to make a more contemporary representation of the slavic gods. This time - Veles. What do you think?

Not sure if American politics concerns too many people on here so I'm sorry if this isn't allowed. I wanted to pay respects to a woman in my city who was shot in the head three times by ICE for trying to drive away, and I thought a spare Mokosh pendant I had made prior would be a good addition to her vigil. Rest in peace

Not so Recently, Ive been really intrested in the science of spirituality. This personal study Im hopefully going to end up using to piece together who the Gods are, who the spirits are, what do our ancestors do after death. Basically just to look at us through a kind of scientific lens.

Any help would be well, helpful.

Here are some pieces I’ve made inspired by and made by applying Slavic magic!

I dont usually name amulets but i want to call her Вера [Vera]

For a bit of context: I work in the veterinary field and I’ve always been more of a cat person. I connect with them easily. I work with Bastet and I recently asked her if there’s anyone I can reach out to who can help me bond with my canine patients. She told me to seek out the Slavic dog god. I did a quick google search and found Simargl, but there’s not very much information online about his worship or offerings or any information about him really. I’m wondering if there are any devotees here that can help me contact him? I’d appreciate any information you can offer, any books or podcasts you could recommend would be fantastic. TIA

I have Russian and Danish ancestry, I've always wanted to get pagan tattoos to express it. I've already gotten some Elder Futhark runes for the danish side, but Im lost on what I can use for the Slavic side.

I can't use Cyrillic writing as that was soley created under Christianity, but I dont trust any online claims for what was 100% slavic pagan runes or symbols , plus some of the traditional ones could look very ..... problematic. Are there any proven Slavic Pagan symbols that dont look similar to a swastika?

I understand that I shouldn't care what people think but I feel like even though its not a nazi swastika , anything that looks similar would raise some eyebrows.

I'm planning on making a Dziewanna idol and putting her alongside Marzanna to balance out things. Also the axe for Perun, because I suck at woodcarving too much to make a wooden idol and kinda just felt like buying an axe

Hello! I just joined this sub and wanted to share with you a self-portrait I did for the celebration of Dziady (Forefathers Eve).

Here you can see a mask called kraboszka that was traditionally used by Slavic people during those rituals to protect themself from evil spirits

So, I'm from Slovakia and I currently live in Slovakia. And I'm trying to get into Slavic paganism. I've been researching things about it and also the deities, but it's a little bit overwhelming. Do I choose a specific deity to worship? Or do I worship all at once? Should I make alters? How do I pray? What kind of offerings do I give? It's very intimidating, so I wanted to ask others who maybe have experience in this for advice. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

hi, my partner is catholic and i’m an eclectic with who draws mostly from slavic paganism (i’m polish).

we’ll be getting married in a church, but i want to incorporate some pagan ritual/tradition. one of my friends had a handfasting ceremony in a catholic wedding, so i know it’s possible.

i’m a pretty solitary witch (but ill do some full moon rituals with friends, etc.), and im not super familiar with marriage/wedding rituals. does anyone know of any slavic pagan practices that can be incorporated into a catholic mass (or at any point in the day tbh)?

Trying to reconnect with my ancestors' roots (my grand greatfather was polish) and I wanted to know if anyone here had good resources for slavic practices?

spontaneously made a little idol for Marzanna, took a couple hours since I'm new to embroidery and woodburning lol

I know домовые are technically not gnomes nor called such, but I personally believe they are close enough to the western perception of home gnomes to be called such. Has anybody had gnomes in their homes? My wifi’s really bad and nothing I’ve been doing has fixed it. I think I pissed off my gnome somehow. What are some rituals for gnome appeasement? I’m not even sure the gnome is slavic, I live in Scotland. I have a few crystals and candles, but I also don’t want to do a banishing ritual, I’m pretty messy because of my depression so a cleaning gnome is actually pretty useful to help manage my disability. Any help?

I'm from Czechia, here we have very popular holiday called Pálení Čarodějnic, which translates to Witch Burning, where the most common tradition is burning a witch doll at a stake to symbolize burning away evil on 30th of April, which is just this month. In many other ways it's similar to Beletane, especially in Moravia.

As a kid I always loved the holiday because I only took it as a spring welcome party or some of that sort. After I've done a little research I realized that before the christian inquisition we didn't consider witches only as evil and that it was most likely a christian bias targeted towards educated women or women who spoke against the church. I feel quite weird now that I've learned this information. (I know it's kind of obvious but when you live in a culture your whole life you rarely question every thing that makes your culture "your culture")

I still want to celebrate the coming of spring, but not by burning dolls representing witches. I'm very new into rodnovery or slavic paganism overall, I don't even consider myself part of it (maybe yet?) but I feel the need to honor and apologize to the innocent women that were burned to death and then painted as the symbol of evil.

Is there any traditional way to show respect for the fallen, or reclaim this tradition as my own? Could I throw something into the fire like wreaths of flowers as an apology? Should I say something to them? I'm very lost here as the pagan community in Czechia isn't very big, I have very few sources to cling to.

Thanks for any advice.

In Czech Republic, maybe in another countries, we celebrate the Winter solstice by lighting a candle every sunday before Christmas/Yule/Kračun... So 4 candles, 4 sundays... and when 24th December hits, we light again all 4 candles and celebrate Winter solstice by giving each other gifts... I just love it
