Slavic myths
Slavic myths are a rich tapestry of folklore, legends, and spiritual beliefs of the Slavic peoples, originating primarily from Eastern Europe. Central figures include gods and goddesses like Perun, the thunder god, and Mokosh, the earth goddess. These myths often explain natural phenomena, seasonal cycles, and human experiences. They feature mythical creatures such as Rusalki (water nymphs) and Domovoi (house spirits). Slavic mythology emphasizes harmony with nature, the importance of ancestors, and the dualities of life and death, reflecting the community's values and understanding of the world around them.
