Discover the Hidden Gods of the Slavic World
Have you ever said "thank you" without realizing you were calling on a higher power? In Russian, the word "спасибо" (thank you) literally means "God save" — a direct appeal to divine protection. Similarly, phrases like "Ну, дай бог!" (Well, God grant it!) or "С богом!" (Go with God!) are woven into everyday speech, often without conscious thought.
This book reveals how ancient Slavic gods continue to live in our language and culture. It explores the pantheon of deities that shaped the spiritual world of the early Slavs — from Perun, the god of thunder, to Mokosh, the goddess of fate. Each chapter traces how these figures persist in modern expressions, rituals, and beliefs.
Through careful analysis of linguistic roots and historical sources, the book shows that Slavic gods are not just relics of the past. They remain active in the words we use, the wishes we make, and the way we navigate uncertainty. Whether you're a language enthusiast, a history buff, or simply curious about hidden meanings, this work offers a fresh perspective on the supernatural threads running through daily life.
