Extractions: Slavic Myth and Religion Gods and Goddesses Otherworldly Creatures Calendar Festivals Death and the Afterlife ... 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.

Extractions: Polski English Slavija 13060302 Slavic Nationalism and Our Organization It is of utmost importance to lay out in a concise way the ideas of Slavic Nationalism and of Slavija as an organization. The first and most important question to be answered is what precisely unites all the Slavic people into a single group. We believe it is the following. We are Slavs and all of us are descendants of single Slavic tribe, our culture, our Slavic soul, and our Christian values are all things that we have in common and were passed down to us from our common Slavic ancestors. As an organization we believe that all Slavic people love their respective motherland and think that we should all work together more in order to defend our common interests against the enemies of Slavdom and our values. Likewise we believe in closer cooperation in cultural and social affair, as well as the general development of friendship and fraternity between all the Slavic people. This brings us to the concept behind Slavija as an organization. We see our mission as twofold. First we are think tank, we publish various information that is of common interests to Slavic people. Second we want to act as a larger umbrella organization whose purpose is to bring together patriotic Slavic individuals and organization to a common table to constructively discuss and further understand each others point of view in order to bring about more cooperation and coordination. The organization itself is built on principles of Slavic brotherhood with members of various Slavic nationalities.

Our Slavic Language
History of the Old Slavonic language.
http://www.carpatho-rusyn.org/spirit/chap4.htm

Extractions: Our Slavic Language The language used by our people in the Liturgy is called Church - or Old-Slavonic . It is called Church- Slavonic , since its use is limited to the Church for the liturgical services. It is also called Old-Slavonic, since in former times it was the common language of Slavic tribes. Some Slavists refer to it as the " Old-Bulgarian " language, but incorrectly. The Slavonic language was introduced into the Byzantine liturgy by the Apostles of the Slavs, SS. Cyril and Methodius, during their missionary activity in Great Moravia. The missionary brothers were sons of a high ranking officer (Gr. " drungarious ") Leo, who was attached to the governor of the Macedonian province. During the eighth century this whole province became occupied by the Slavic tribes. Thus SS. Cyril and Methodius were familiar with the Slavic dialect as spoken at that time in Macedonia. Constantine, known mostly by his religious name Cyril, was one of the finest linguists in the whole Empire. Commanding a sufficient knowledge of the Slavic dialect of Macedonia, he created the first Slavic alphabet, called '' Glagolitic " (Sl. "

We apologize for the aesthetics and hope that the information will still be of value to you. A tiny minority fights extinction CROSTWITZ, GERMANY - The dancers skitter to the zesty music and the crowd of young and old, packed in a barnyard, loves every minute. It is not only music and merriment filling the air, but Sorbian, a language spoken by the world's smallest Slavic minority. Other barnyards in Crostwitz, population 640, reveal similar scenes during the village's third annual folklore festival. Traditional instruments such as bagpipes, shawms (a double-reed instrument resembling an oboe), and three-string fiddles are played at weddings and other festive occasions. Older women can be seen wearing traditional Sorbian bonnets and dresses on a daily basis, while younger generations proudly don folk costumes on holidays.
Double Slavic-Bulgar Words And Expressions
Features of the old (Turkic) Bulgar language that have been preserved in the modern (slavic) language.
http://members.tripod.com/~Groznijat/b_lang/bl_double.html

Extractions: The language of the Asparukh and Kuber Bulgars, Vocabulary and grammar Features of the old Bulgar language, preserved in the modern Bulgarian language The Bulgar inscriptions discovered in the last decades reveal to us that some of the most characteristic features of the modern Bulgarian have their origin in the old Bulgar language. Two of the most frequent verb forms in modern Bulgarian ' E ' ('he/she/it IS') and ' BE ' ('he/she/it WAS') coincide with the old Bulgar ones. Similarly, the post-word definitive articles, which set modern Bulgarian apart from the rest of the Slavic languages, have their analogies in the lands to the east, previously inhabited by Bulgars. The diminutive suffixes - CHO CHE CA CHA ), which are today common to the Bulgarian names (Trajcho, Trajche, Vancho, Vanche, Vancha, etc.), are also a Bulgar legacy. All this shows that the old Bulgar played a significant part in the formation of the modern Bulgarian language. That is why even nowadays there are preserved a number of 'double' expressions, one word of which is Slavic, and the other Bulgar in origin. For example: the expression

Report
Sociolinguistic survey of the Pomaks, a 30,000strong Muslim slavic-speaking community living in Western Thrace (Northern Greece). Their language is essentially a Bulgarian dialect.
http://www.greekhelsinki.gr/english/reports/pomaks.html

Extractions: Report THE POMAKS General data on the language Pomaks are those whose mother tongue is Pomakika (name in Greek -ÐïìÜêïé)/ Pomakci (name in their language); most linguists call that language Pomak and, sometimes, Bulgarian. The Pomak language belongs to the linguistic family of the Southern Slavic languages, and, within them, to the linguistic group of Bulgaro-Macedonian. There is no information on Pomak dialects. Although there is no written tradition, the appropriate alphabet to write the language is the Cyrillic. It is generally believed that Pomak is one of the various Bulgaro-Macedonian dialects which existed in the Southern Balkans before the emergence of modern nation-states and their corresponding literary languages. Pomaks live in the three departments of Western Thrace: they are the main component of the Muslim (in fact today Turkish) minority in Xanthi. There have not been any official statistics since 1951 (and the preceding statistical data are not very trustworthy). The best estimate for the Pomaks today is a figure around 30,000. The Greek state gives an estimate of 35,000 (COMS, 1994); so do authors acceptable to the Greek state: Hidiroglou (1991:45) and Notaras (1994:47). The 30,000 estimate is based on a Greek Helsinki Monitor/Minority Rights Group-Greece detailed estimation, on the basis of the census data and the synthesis of the minority communities as provided by both the Greek authorities and local minority sources. It is also the estimate of Nakratzas (1988:131) and De Jong (1994). Seyppel (1989:42) gives an estimate of 20,000-30,000.

General information from the University of Wales about the current status of Sorbian, a slavic minority language spoken in the L¤nder of Brandenburg and Saxony in Germany. Trilingual site (English, French, Welsh).
http://www.aber.ac.uk/~merwww/english/lang/sorbian.htm

Extractions: OVERVIEW OF THE LANGUAGE S The eleven bilingual districts of Luzica (Lusatia) were drawn up in the former East Germany and are currently fighting again for a similar official recognition within the framework of the provincial government reforms. There, the Sorbian-speaking section of the population forms only 2% of the total population of Luzica with some 45,000 speakers. Territorial contact between Upper and Lower Sorbian has been cut off since the beginning of the 20th century by economic and housing policy in the area of mid Luzica. All public use of the Sorbian language and reporting about the Sorbs in the German press was banned by the Nazis in 1937. A law protecting the rights of the Sorbian population was passed in the provincial parliament of Sakska (Saxony) in 1948, and in 1950 the same general principles were adopted in Braniborska (Brandenburg). Since 1994 the Sorbian languages have been adopted as part of the curriculum in the schools of Sakska (Saxony) and Braniborska (Brandenburg) as foreign languages. OVERVIEW OF THE MEDIA Media marked with an asterisk (*) are described in further detail in the media database Over 80 books are currently published every year in Sorbian, about half of those being teaching and study materials. In the field of literature an average of no more than 50 copies per publication are sold at present. The post-communist era brought a dramatic fall in the number of subscribers to Nowa Doba/Serbske Nowiny* although it had never constituted an alternative to the German language print media.
