The slavic mythology defines the set of religious beliefs and ritual practices of the Slavs before the formal Christianization of their elites, which occurred throughout the 8th and 13th centuries.

This mythology believed to have developed over 3,000 years, and it is even thought that many of these beliefs date back to the Neolithic or Mesolithic.

However, contrary to what happens with Greek mythology or the egyptian mythology, there is no evidence of first-hand sources that facilitate the study of Slavic mythology.

Slavic beliefs were transmitted orally Throughout generations and the data we have about them we find them thanks to the writings produced by the first Christian missionaries who arrived in the region, although in many cases they are not objective.

Yes we have many later works such as "Chronicle First”, Which was drawn up at the beginning of the 12th century and deals with the history of the first East Slavic state, which offers many references and copies of older documents.

Later the work "Chronicle of Nestor”, In which Nestor, the Chronicler, describes the pantheon of main gods introduced by Prince Vladimir I of Kiev in 980. In it we find Perún, Dažbog, Stribog, Simargl and Mokosh.

At "Codex of Hypatius»We find the god Svarog and in the«Song of Igor's Hosts»To Veles, among many other sources and stories.
