Please sign in so that we can notify you about a reply
The Indo -European nature of the Slavic paganism follows from the very fact of the Slavs belonging to the family of Indo -European peoples. That is, there are all signs that the Pre -Slavs used the main versions of general -European sacred practices - derivatives of a more ancient paradigmatic model of the world order by the not so remote past. Actually, the theme of the origin of the paganism of the Slavs in this work is related to the reconstruction of just such a universal model, as well as with the bringing a number of fundamental provisions into line with it. In particular, this applies:
Firstly, the internal harmony of certain legends and rites of the Slavs as a single complex of beliefs,
Secondly, correspondence of such a complex with related complexes of other Indo-Europeans,
Thirdly, demonstrations of no less expressive samples of the archaic faith, associated with the stage preceding the Indo-European level of development of society,
Finally, the reflection in the symbolism of the subsequent Christian era all the same elements of the pagan period.
Thus, the obvious Indo -European beginning of the early religious views of the Slavs here is coordinated with other theological systems of a single genesis, which is the main criterion for the accuracy of the reconstruction proposed to the reader
