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.

Slavic faith – part 2 – the meaning behind prayers

In the previous post we discussed religious sacrifices made by pre-Christian Slavs. We came to conclusion that, considering the historical context, our ancestors’ sacrifices to the Gods were of much higher value than our modern offering are. We also mentioned that, due to the nature of Slavic Gods, our ancestors had to be precise in their prayers – know exactly what they wanted to pray for, which God they wanted to pray to, when and how.

Today as promised we will discuss if it’s possible to adapt prayer/sacrifice rituals of pre-Christian Slavs for the reality of XXI century and - if so - how can it be done.

A disclaimer: this post discusses exclusively the issues off the worship of Slavic Gods. The issues of veneration of the ancestors will be discussed another time.
