Bibliography and Websites This page contains lists of information I've gathered on Slavic gods, rituals, etc. While my primary passion is ancient Greek paganism, I am also interested in pre-Christian Slavic religion, and these are the fruits of my research. I do not claim to be an expert, but I hope my efforts help others called to the Slavic way. For more about me, see my homepage . Or you can email me Russian text, The Way in which Pagans acclaimed Idols (9th-12th cen.) "And these very people have begun to sacrifice to the Rod and to the Rozanitsa, to Perun, their god, whereas formerly they sacrificed to vampires and nymphs." Gods and Goddesses Baba Yaga is a traditional crone goddess - portrayed not as wise and gentle, but frightening and terrible (although sometimes wise as well). She is one of the most frequent characters in Russian fairy tales, where she plays the part of a witch. She lives in a peasant hut made of bones which stands on chicken legs and spins, and is lighted by glowing skulls on posts. She travels through the air in a mortar bowl, pushing it along with the pestle or a broom. She is always very hungry. In mythology, she is sometimes represented as a snake coiled around the Waters of Life and Death. Byelobog means "white god," and so he appears as an old man with a long white beard, dressed in white and carrying a staff. He is a giver of light, traveling only in the daytime. He leads the lost out of dark forests, bestows wealth and fertility on all, and helps reapers in the fields. He fights with Chernobog every winter and summer solstice.

Home Areas Mythology Other mythologies ... Search Koshchei by George Hager Cite rate , or print article Send comment Used sources A symbol of death and magic in Russian mythology, Koshchei the Deathless (also Kashchej) is a powerful wizard or demigod who gains immortality by keeping his fiery soul hidden inside an egg. The egg is inside a duck, which is inside a hare, which is inside an iron chest, which is buried under a green oak tree, which is located on the island of Bujan on the wide ocean. Although he resembles the Grim Reaper in many ways, Koshchei is probably more symbolic of the reluctance to loosen ones grip on life and pass gracefully into death. As such, he is a tragic villain with vexations analogous to Hades or even Vlad Dracula. He is sometimes completely obliterated by powerful forces, yet his dry, bony body reconstitutes over and over again until the soul-bearing egg is crushed. At the moment of destruction, a cleansing fire from the egg envelopes the Earth, wiping it clean of all its old evil. He is notorious for kidnapping mothers, wives and maidens, and for holding them prisoner in his various palaces. He even kidnaps Marena (Mara, Marya Morevna), the Russian goddess of death, with whom he has a love-hate relationship. She is his undoing, as she coaxes the location of his soul from him and passes the information to the hero of the story (usually a son or husband going by various names: Dazhdbog, Prince Ivan, Prince Astrach, etc.).

Places to Go, People to Be [Next Article] [Previous Article] [This Issue] [Home] Dazhdbog's Tomb By Lonnie Bricker This generic scenario is taken from a tale about an ancient Russian sun god named Dazhdbog. First, the actual myth is briefly retold to give credit where credit is due. After the myth is my own adaptation, including a history of the people involved and the location. Finally, I've included a few story ideas that I hope make this a scenario worth playing. Dazhdbog in Russian mythology or His story by (c) Sergei Naumov, 1994. Based on Russian folklore and personal research. An Internet version adopted for the WWW server "Dazhdbog's Grandchildren. The Myth Dazhdbog is the name of a pagan sun god who is mentioned in at least one epic Russian poem (the "Tale of Igor's Campaign") dating to the 12th century. He has been called the god of blessings and son of Svarog. He is also mentioned in various folk tales and legends. This is one of these tales. It tells of the time the pagan god Dazhdbog was traveling through the mountains of Armenia and met young warrior woman by the name of Zlatogorka. The god challenged the warrior to a fight and was soundly beaten for his arrogance. To add insult to injury, Dazhdbog was placed on her horse and forced to marry Zlatogorka. Unfortunately (or maybe understandably), the couple's happiness didn't last; but not for any of the innumerable reasons you might have guessed. They were riding through the mountains of Armenia when they came across a tomb.

Webmasters Make $$$ Index Individuals Group / Teams Alien Races Miscellaneous ... Back Information Supreme Soviets The Supreme Soviets are a Soviet team of costumed champions who operate under the supervision of the Special Powers Committee of the government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The team's membership consists of the fifth Crimson Dynamo; Fantasia; Perun the storm god of Russian mythology; the third Red Guardian; and the android Sputnik. The origins of the individual members of the Supreme Soviets have not yet been discovered. The current Dynamo, Dmitri Bykharin, is the fifth man to be known by that code name, and joined the Supreme Soviets after being expelled from another team, the Soviet Super-Soldiers. The third Red Guardian is the successor to the original Soviet operative by that name, Alexi Shostakov, who is now deceased. The second Red Guardian, Dr. Tania Belinskaya, was actually a vigilante operating without the approval of the Soviet government. Apparently, the gods of Russian mythology are actual superhuman beings, presumably from another dimension, like the gods of Egyptian, Greek, and Norse mythology. The circumstances by which the gods, Perun, came to work for the Soviet government have yet to be disclosed. In their first documented mission, the Supreme Soviets went to Avenger Island to punish the Soviet Super-Soldiers for their attempted defection, Fantasia used her ability to cast illusions to disguise the Red Guardian, Perun, the Crimson Dynamo, and Sputnik as the Avengers Captain America, Thor Iron Man and the Vision, respectively. Fantasia used her power to render herself as an invisible onlooker to the ensuing battle. Thus, disguised, the Red Guardian challenged the Super-Soldiers to combat against himself and his fellow Avengers to test the Super-Soldiers' superhuman abilities. Battling ruthlessly agains their unsuspecting opponents, the Supreme Soviets defeated the Super-Soldiers, leaving all three in critical condition. The Supreme Soviets then departed, believing the Avengers would be blamed for what had happened to the Super-Soldiers.

The Symbolist Etchings of Marina Korenfeld from Odessa, Ukraine Art Review in the April 18, 2003 issue of The Yale Daily News by Erin Donar Marina Korenfeld’s etchings evoke a quest for the mysterious, with a use of a symbolism that is profound, emotionally gripping, and visually stunning. Born in Odessa, Ukraine, with her father an accordion teacher and her mother a drama coach, her home was visited by artists, musicians, actors, comedians, and poets, creating an atmosphere that shaped and prepared her for a life in the arts. At Odessa's Theater and Art College, Marina majored in puppetry, "an absolutely marvelous experience in a hard-working environment," in a city rife with political instability and crime. While also studying Classical Figure Drawing, Portraiture, Watercolor, Oil Painting, and the history of art and theater, one Marina’s puppet creations was selected for Odessa's Art Gallery, its largest museum.

Olga's Gallery Victor Vasnetsov Son of a village clergyman, Victor Mikhailovich Vasnetsov prepared himself for the same career, but the passionate love for art brought the 19-year-old student of ecclesiastical seminary to St. Petersburg's Academy of Arts. During his years (1868-75) in the Academy Vasnetsov got a thorough professional training; an especially big role in his education was played by professor Pavel Tchistyakov Victor Vasnetsov started as a scene painter; the influence of Fedotov and Perov in his early works is evident Moving House At a Bookseller's News from the Front A Game of Preference (1879). In the late 1870s early 1880s, Vasnetsov tried himself in historical genre Battle of Slavs and Scythians After Prince Igor's Battle with the Polovtsy (1880). He borrowed the subjects from ancient history. He found another source of subjects in Russian mythology – legends, ballads, fairy-tales. Vasnetsov was born and grew up in a northern Russian village and almost to the age of 20 lived in an environment where the ‘folklore outlook’ was still alive; his very soul was steeped in the poetry of Russian epic literature. He wasn't only the first artist to use subjects from folklore, but also the first to borrow methods and techniques from national folk art. Thus he became the founder of new style in Russian painting. Vasnetsov was an active member of the Abramtsevo circle (Abramtsevo is the estate of the well-known patron of arts Savva Mamontov), which sought to revive national traditions. Many undertakings by the Abramtsevo Colony, whether the construction of a church at Abramtsevo, where Vasnetsov, as the designer, first coped with the problem of creating a whole, integral ensemble, or the erection of the ‘Witch’s Hut” (also to his design), or the sets and costumes for the production of Alexander Ostrovsky’s lyrical fairy-tale

57. Russian Religion By The Numbers such as the cult of the Mistress of the Copper Mountain, which formed in theUrals and is distinctively reconstructing national russian mythology. http://www.samford.edu/groups/global/ewcmreport/articles/ew07103.htm

Vol. 7, No. 1, Winter 1999, Covering the Former Soviet Union and East Central Europe Russian Religion by the Numbers Vyacheslav S. Polosin In Russia today there are no official statistics on the membership of religious organizations. The law prohibits demanding that citizens declare their religious affiliation, and many denominations do not have a fixed membership. Under these conditions, a tendency can be observed among politicians and publicists to try to pass off the desirable as the actual. Passive Faith Islam fulfills an analogous function, as a rule, among “ethnic” Muslims (up to 15 percent [of the Russian population]). Protestants, by virtue of their inherent accent on awareness of faith and their weak development of ritual and implantation of it in society, have almost no passive social base. New religious formations, having no roots in the sphere of ritual, are forced against their will to display extreme social activity in order to draw attention. This situation causes them to be labeled extremists. For people who are not inclined toward active religiosity, and this is the overwhelming majority, the actions of the disciples of such new groups appear irritating and maniacal. Active Faith In terms of active believers, it is possible to distinguish three large groups (Russian Orthodox Church, other Christians, and Muslims), as well as religious minorities and new religious unions: 1) Russian Orthodox Church—more than 8,000 parishes and brotherhoods; 2) Muslims—2,900 communities; 3) Christians of other confessions or jurisdictions—4,000 registered and no fewer than 1,500 unregistered fellowships.
