Encyclopedic overview
A priest of Svantevit depicted on a stone from Arkona, now in the church of Altenkirchen, Rügen.
Slavic paganism encompasses the historical pre-Christian religious beliefs, mythologies, and ritual practices of the Slavic peoples before their gradual Christianization between the 8th and 13th centuries. Rooted in broader Proto-Indo-European religion, the historical Slavic faith was polytheistic and animistic, characterized by a deep reverence for nature, ancestor worship, and rituals tied closely to the agricultural calendar. While a unified pan-Slavic pantheon likely never existed due to geographic fragmentation, certain core deities and cosmological concepts were shared across the East, West, and South Slavs.
