Contrary to popular belief, the main deity of the ancient Slavs was not the famous thunderer Perun! The most revered and well-known gods and goddesses in Rus were the deities of the Sun! This famous study, written in the late 19th century, still remains the best book on the cult of Slavic solar deities. Based on a vast historical and folklore material, the author convincingly proves that the solar cult among our ancestors had a much more ancient origin than the cult of thunder and lightning. In the pages of this book, you will not only learn in detail about the emergence and development of solar beliefs among our ancestors, their system of solar mythology, but also understand how they envisioned the solar deities themselves, how they celebrated dedicated holidays and rituals in their honor.
