Slavic Gods: Dazhbog, Svetovit and Others

Our instagram:   / slavique_channel   Patreon for support: patreon.com/SlaviqueOfficial In this second part of our exploration of Slavic mythology, we dive deeper into the ancient beliefs and forgotten gods of the Slavic peoples. If you haven’t seen the first part yet, where we discussed Perun, Veles, Chernobog, and other deities, you can find it on the channel. In this new video, we continue the journey into the spiritual world of the Slavs, where gods ruled not only the sky and the earth but also the hidden realms beyond. We begin with Triglav, the mysterious three-headed god worshipped by Western Slavs from the Baltic Sea to the Carpathians. A deity of three realms — Sky, Earth, and Underworld, Triglav held a sword, a chalice, and a serpent, each symbolizing an aspect of his power. His worship centered in Szczecin, where a golden idol once stood tall in a temple that echoed with rituals and sacrifices. Next, we meet Živa, the goddess of life, fertility, and rebirth. Known for her beauty and youth, she remained beloved even after the arrival of Christianity. In some regions, she was reimagined as the Virgin Mary so that her cult could survive. Traditions linked to Živa, such as spring dances, healing rituals, and prayers for childbirth, continued for centuries. We then look at Dazhbog, the solar deity and cultural ancestor of the Slavs. Mentioned in ancient chronicles, Dazhbog was believed to ride across the sky in a chariot pulled by golden horses. He symbolized abundance, light, and masculine power, and was honored not with blood sacrifices, but with bread, honey, and fire. His myth explains the turning of seasons and the eternal cycle of life and death. The episode also uncovers Khors, the often-overlooked god associated with the physical sun. Unlike Dazhbog, who represented the sun's divine power, Khors governed its visible form. His cult was more esoteric and likely reserved for the elite, but his presence in ancient rites is undeniable. Finally, we revisit the tragic end of Svetovit, the four-faced guardian god whose temple at Arkona was destroyed during the Christian conquest of the Slavic lands. His fall symbolized the collapse of an entire religious worldview, but echoes of his power still remain in local legends. Slavic mythology is vast, mysterious, and deeply intertwined with the cultures that once worshipped these deities. In this video, we explore how their stories were preserved, transformed, or hidden in folklore, rituals, and place names, such as Triglav Mountain in Slovenia. 0:00 intro 0:18 Triglav — the Guardian of Worlds 2:03 Živa — the goddess who could not be destroyed 3:32 Dazhbog — the Lord of the Sun 5:44 Khors — The Forgotten Sun 7:50 Svetovit — The Four-Faced Guardian
