Project Overview
This website represents my research into Slavic mythology, folklore, and cultural traditions. As someone of Croatian heritage, I wanted to create an accessible English-language resource that covers both well-known and obscure aspects of our mythology.
The project began as a personal endeavor to document and preserve Slavic mythological knowledge that is often overlooked in mainstream resources. I gathered information from historical texts, academic papers, and oral traditions.
The content is organized into four main sections:
- Gods - Major deities like Perun, Veles, and Mokosh
- Creatures - Mythical beings from Baba Yaga to Domovoi
- Stories - Legends and folktales passed through generations
- Culture - Traditions, symbols, and modern interpretations
Disclaimer
This website represents my personal interpretations of Slavic mythology based on:
- Academic research and historical sources
- Folk traditions from various Slavic regions
- Comparative mythology studies
- Archaeological findings
Slavic mythology varies significantly across regions and time periods. I've indicated where interpretations differ or where information is reconstructed.
