Slavic cultures are far-ranging, comprising of East Slavs (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus), West Slavs (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland) and South Slavs (the countries of former Yugoslavia plus Bulgaria), yet they are connected by tales of adventure and magic with deep roots in a common lore. In this first collection of Slavic myths for an international readership, Noah Charney and Svetlana Slapak expertly weave together a retelling of the ancient stories with nuanced analysis that illuminates their place at the heart of Slavic tradition. Though less familiar to us than the legends of ancient Egypt, Greece and Scandinavia, in the world of Slavic mythology we find much that we can recognize: petulant deities, demons and faeries; witches, the sinister vestica, whose magic may harm or heal; a supreme god who can summon storms and hurl thunderbolts. Gods gather under the World Tree, reminiscent of Norse mythologys Yggdrasill; or, after the coming of Christianity, congregate among the clouds. The vampire usually the only Serbo-Croatian word in any foreign-language dictionary and the werewolf emerge from the shallow graves of Slavic belief. In their careful analysis and sensitive reconstructions of the origin stories, Charney and Slapsak unearth the Slavic beliefs before their distortion first by Christian chroniclers and then by 19th-century scholars seeking origin stories for their new-born nation states. They reveal links not only to the neighbouring pantheons of Greece, Rome, Egypt and Scandinavia but also the belief systems of indigenous peoples of Australia, the Americas, Africa and Asia. In so doing, they draw out the universalities that cut across cultures in the stories we tell ourselves.

This book takes you through all Slavic mythology's folklore, legends, and religious beliefs. Not only will we be exploring the monsters that were birthed from the lands of Eastern Europe You’ll be taken on a journey on the shores of the Baltic Sea, celebrating and even partaking in their rituals and festivals, in awe of their sacrifices, traditions, and offerings to the Gods — all with our easy hands-on methods and clear instructions suitable for beginners. Throughout history, chroniclers have found it rather hard to gather a conclusive record of the actual practice of the old Slavic religion due to the wide array of ethnic groups practicing it, including but not limited to Russians, Ukrainians, and even Germans, which caused a lot of the beliefs and rituals to differ from one nation to another.
