Slavic Pantheon

The Slavic Pantheon refers to the collection of gods, goddesses, and supernatural beings worshiped by the Slavic peoples before Christianization. Major deities include Perun, the god of thunder and war; Veles, the god of cattle, commerce, and the underworld; and Mokosh, the goddess of fertility and the earth. These gods were associated with natural elements, agricultural cycles, and ancestral spirits, reflecting the agrarian lifestyle of the Slavs. Various local traditions and folklore enriched the pantheon, resulting in a diverse belief system with regional variations across Eastern Europe.
