Slavic mythology - Supreme god.
The original supreme god of the Slavs was probably Rod. Information about Rod worship is scarce.
In some branches of the Slavic religion, the supreme god is Svarog (senior member of Triglav). But exactly because of his nature he was not the most worshiped: that was Perun, while tribes that were occupied mostly with cattle could pay most attention to Veles and so on.
The Wendish people are said to have had the three-headed Triglav as their supreme god. Sometimes this god is referred ...

 |  |  | Slavic gods: Encyclopedia II - Slavic mythology - CosmologyAccording to the Book of Veles, Slavic religion recognizes three realms: Jav, Prav and Nav, Yav being the material world, Nav the immaterial, and Prav being the laws that govern them. The emphasis on the three realms is particularly characteristic for the Slavic neopaganists that draw on the Book of Veles.
The main symbol of ancient Slavic cosmogonic ideas was the World Tree. Slavs imagined that all three realms are vertically situated on a gigantic oak tree, that holds the whole Universe. In its crown was Slavic Heaven/paradise, so c ...

 |  |  | Slavic gods: Encyclopedia - Veles godVeles, Volos, Weles, or Voloh is a major Slavic god of earth, waters and Underworld, associated with dragons, cattle, magic, musicians, wealth and trickery. He is also the opponent of thunder-god Perun, and the battle between two of them constitutes one of most important myths of Slavic mythology. Veles appears to be both a very complex and very ancient god: he may even be a relic from a common Proto-Indo-European pantheon. He was imagined to be (at least partialy) serpentine, with horns (of bull, ram or some othe ...

 |  |  | Slavic gods: Encyclopedia - Dyaus PitaIn vedic religion, Dyaus Pita is the Sky Father, husband of Prthivi and father of Agni and Indra (RV 4.17.4).
His origins can be traced to the Indo-European sky god *Dyeus, who is also reflected as Zeus in Greek mythology, Jupiter (from Latin Iove pater, "father-god") in Roman mythology, Div in Slavic mythology and Tyr in Norse mythology.

Here Volos is mentioned as god of cattle and peasants, who will punish oath-breakers wi ...

 |  |  | Slavic gods: Encyclopedia II - Veles god - Enemy of Perun and Storm mythThe Russian philologists Vyacheslav Vsevolodovich Ivanov and Vladimir Toporov reconstructed the mythical battle of Perun and Veles through comparative study of various Indo-European mythologies and a large number of Slavic folk stories and songs.

In Slavic version of the myth, Perun is a god of thunder, whilst Veles acts as a dragon who opposes him. The etimology of his name links him closely to Vala, an ...
