welcome back toooooo!
🥁🥁🥁…
STAR! DOES! FACTS!
today’s facts will be about…
SLAVIC MYTHOLOGY
this is my first time ever researching anything slavic and honestly? it was really fun! now, let’s get into the facts, shall we?
who is the main-or most well known Slavic God? It is Perun! He is the god of the skies and thunder. His father, Svarog, is the creator of the sun, and brother of Veles, God of cattle and the underworld
who is the most famous in Slavic folklore? That goes to Baba Yaga! Baba Yaga is an ogress who is said to steal, cook, and eat her victims, usually children
when it comes to both Norse and Slavic mythology, the two are often compared with one another. One reason being that both are polytheistic, meaning that they recognize multiple deities. The other is that some of the gods bear some similarities, like how Odin and Rod are known as the “chief gods” and how both Freyja and Lada are both goddesses of fertility
are there any tricksters in Slavic mythology? yes! the trickster, Leshy, is a forrest spirit. the Leshy is a sportive spirit who enjoys playing tricks on people, though when angered he can be treacherous. he is rarely seen, but his voice can be heard in the forest laughing, whistling, or singing
but… were there any Slavic goddess? yes there were! except she is the only female deity ever mentioned the Old Kievan pantheon of ad 980. her name is Mokoš, a tall woman with a large head and large arms. she spins flax and wool at night and shears sheep
were there any common themes in Slavic mythology? a common theme in Slavic mythology is the cosmic struggle between forces of good and evil, often depicted as battles between gods and dark supernatural entities
with Christianity spreading far and wide in the Slavic lands, many elements of traditional mythology were integrated into Christian beliefs and practices. this resulted in the adoption of Christian saints to replace some pagan deities while preserving elements of Slavic folklore and rituals
that is all folks for!
STAR! DOES! FACTS!
see you all tomorrow where I will be back for even more!

Well, what can I say. I like this character. Meet Yarila's father, the god Veles. I read about him a lot of information and concluded that he is a very cool dude... even too cool hah.
He doesn't get along with Perun for the main reason that Dodola didn't choose him. Such gods passions.
He also reminds me of Hades for some reason, hmm.
By the way, he's blind, kind of sees everything with his inner eye…you know, all that magic stuff :D

Chuma or kuga is the personification of plague in southern Slavic mythology, she is often considered a goddess instead of a demon.
She is pictured as a deathly pale woman with long white hair and a flowing white dress and goat feet. Mentioning chuma was avoided, so euphemisms kuma (godmother) or teta (aunty) were used.
Chumas were believed to live in a far away land at the end of the world where they have their husbands and children, and from there they set out to infect people. They are ambivalent creatures, and they bring plague when humans become too heavy for the Earth. They hate dirtiness and are especially eager to infect a dirty house, hence if plague would appear in the vicinity, it was believed that every house and its occupants must be thoroughly cleaned; which was a useful belief that actually helps with real plague. Offerings of food, clean water, basil and a comb could also be made to her.
