The Slavs in the pre-Christian period did not have a religion common to all tribes. However, their ideas about nature, the surrounding world, and the elements that dominate it are very close to each other. This allows us to talk about the existence of a special folk faith among the ancient Slavs, i.e. paganism. Paganism is the national religion. Unlike the great world religions, Christianity, Islam and Buddhism, which do not recognize national boundaries, paganism is addressed only to the Slavs, or only to the Germans, or only to the Celts, etc., perceiving each people as a tribal family community and contrasting it with the rest to the world.

The Slavic pagan world is surprisingly poetic, permeated with magic and the belief that all the nature around us is alive. Our distant ancestors worshiped the elements, believed in the kinship of people with animals, and were convinced that the animal ancestor of their family always patronized its human descendants. The pagan Slavs made numerous sacrifices, most often by allocating part of their hunting catch, fish catch or harvest to the deities, good and evil spirits that inhabited the world around them. Each Slavic tribe prayed to its own especially revered gods, but often they differed only in the pronunciation of names. Very little information has been preserved about the paganism of the ancient Slavs. In most cases, the supreme Slavic gods are known from later Christian teachings against them.
Slide 5
Of all the rituals of pagan Rus', the best known is the funeral one. This is explained by the rich data from archaeological excavations, as well as detailed descriptions of the funeral ceremony in the writings of ancient historians. From the times of shepherd life before the adoption of Christianity, the most common form of burial was the burial mound. When burying the dead, the Slavs placed weapons, horse harness, dead horses and dogs with the man. The woman was supposed to have sickles, vessels with food and drink, grain, killed livestock and poultry. The bodies of the dead were placed on a sacred bonfire, believing that their souls would rise upward with the flame. When a noble man died, several of his servants and one of his wives were buried with him - the one who voluntarily agreed to accompany her husband to the afterlife. The funeral ended with a memorial feast and military competitions.

The beliefs of the ancient Slavs (Slavic paganism) are a complex of views, beliefs and cults of the ancient Slavic tribes, a powerful religious and cultural layer that precedes the Christian one in terms of its existence. Paganism is a Christian theological term to cover all faiths other than Christianity, Islam and Judaism.
Gods of the ancient Slavs The Slavs did not have a single polytheistic pantheon of deities. Each tribe had significant differences in their beliefs in gods: their own pantheon was formed, the same gods received different names, there was no single supreme god for all tribes. Although there are a number of deities that researchers recognize as common Slavic. These are such gods as Svarog, Perun, Makosh, Lada, Veles. The religious tradition sensitively reflected the socio-cultural changes taking place in ancient Slavic society. As disparate tribes unite into tribal unions, the fragmented and numerous pantheon gradually acquires clearer contours. A certain hierarchy of deities is identified, and the supreme god of the ruling tribe is recognized as superior to all others. But this process was never completed.
Sources for studying Slavic beliefs The study of paganism seems to be a very difficult task due to a number of factors. Firstly, this is a huge territory of settlement of Slavic tribes and, as a consequence, different internal trends in their development and the different influence of external factors. Secondly, the uneven pace of historical development in different zones of settlement of Slavic peoples; thirdly, the lack of reliable mythological and religious texts; fourthly, the destruction of the traditional picture of the world and mythological and religious ideas by introduced Christianity.
Idols in the religion of the ancient Slavs Idols are stone and wooden sculptures that convey the image of a deity and serve as an indispensable attribute of the religious rites of Ancient Rus'. Most often, idols were placed on hillocks, on river banks, and in groves. There were also small household idols, which were often hidden from prying eyes. Most likely, the idols were made according to the same pattern, but they differed in design.
Pantheon of Prince Vladimir One of the most important sources on Slavic (more precisely Old Russian) pagan mythology is the chronicle story about the so-called “pagan reform” of Prince Vladimir Svyatoslavich, when he installed idols of six most important deities in Kiev: And Vladimir began to reign in Kiev alone, and installed idols on the hill, outside the tower courtyard: wooden Perun with a silver head and golden mustache, Khors (and) Dazhbog, Stribog, Simargl and Mokosh. At the same time, one of the most respected gods among the people, Veles, the patron of trade, wealth and livestock, was not included in the official princely pantheon, and his idol was located on Podol, at the foot of the Starokievskaya Mountain.
Magi in the religion of the ancient Slavs The Slavs also had so-called Magi. Contrary to popular belief, they were not priests, although some researchers associate the name “magician” with the name of the god Veles. The Magi compiled calendars, stored and transmitted ancient myths, and served as soothsayers and sorcerers. Mentions have been preserved, including in chronicles, of miracles performed by the Magi. Adoration of the Magi
Calendar holidays of the Slavs Maslenitsa is a holiday of farewell to winter and welcoming of spring. Pancakes are an obligatory attribute of Maslenitsa. It is believed that the round pancake is a symbol of the sun. Kolyada is a winter holiday of the sun, marking the turn of the sun from winter to summer. It was celebrated by the Slavs on December 21, the day of the winter solstice - the shortest day of the year. Integral attributes of the holiday were gifts and dressing up (dressing up, the custom of “leading a goat”, “caroling”). Kupala is the holiday of the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. A huge number of legends and beliefs are associated with the Kupala holiday. On the festive night they tell fortunes, look for the legendary fern flowers, and burn an effigy of Madder, which symbolizes victory over death. Tausen is the autumn equinox holiday associated with the harvest, the end of all peasant seasonal work.
The wedding ceremony takes place in three stages, in each of which the same ritual actions are repeated, which gradually develop and become more complex. These main stages are: 1) matchmaking; 2) engagement; 3) the wedding itself. All three stages of the wedding are characterized by the motive of the groom kidnapping the bride and paying a ransom for the bride. The complex of wedding rituals also includes purification rituals associated with the ancient cults of water and fire and reflecting the idea of the purifying properties of the elements.
Conclusion The religion of the ancient Slavs is a fairly developed system of pagan beliefs, professed by Slavic tribes before the adoption of Christianity. The specificity of Slavic paganism lies in the free coexistence of both developed polytheistic and archaic agrarian cults, animistic and polydemonic ideas, and the cult of ancestors. Another characteristic feature of the religion of the ancient Slavs is its heterogeneity, the difference between cults among different tribes, the veneration of different deities, and excellent cult practices in different areas. The paganism of the Slavs is not only a system of cults, but also a worldview, a worldview, reflected in the further development of the cultures of the Slavic peoples.
