Slavic faith – part 3 – the sacrifices worthy of Slavic Gods

In the previous parts of “Slavic faith” we talked about the ritual sacrifices our ancestors made to their Gods and we came to a conclusion that those sacrifices were much more valuable than the (very, very symbolic) sacrifices made by modern followers of Slavic Native Faith. We also noted that most of the sacrifices offered to Gods by pre-Christian Slavs were at least partially consumed during a feast, which was an integral part of the worshipping ritual.

Today we are going to discuss what sacrifices we can offer to the Slavic Gods in modern times, to make sure that the value of our sacrifices is comparable to the sacrifices made by our ancestors.

A fabric embroidered with fate

Embroidered towel carries many symbolic meanings. For centuries it has been a companion of human life, from sunrise to sunset, on regular and on holy days, from birth to death. It used to be present in every household, today it’s seen rarely – on icons in Orthodox churches or in small villages in Eastern Poland. Do we realise that this white piece of fabric is a magical object, full of mysterious and deep meaning?
