Description
Slavic Gods and Heroes by Judith Kalik and Alexander Uchitel offers a fresh perspective on Slavic pagan religion. The authors' in-depth analysis of reliable sources reveals intriguing connections between this ancient faith and other cultures, such as Afro-American voodoo. The book explores the origins of Slavic mythology, including the mysterious absence of gods before the mid-tenth century and the presence of Eastern Slavic dragon Zmey Gorynych. It also examines the Indo-European roots of Slavic hippomantic rituals and delves into the significance of Slavic foundation legends. By shedding new light on these enigmatic topics, Kalik and Uchitel provide a thought-provoking exploration of Slavic pagan religion that will appeal to anyone interested in history, anthropology, or comparative religion.
