Hello,
But the awe-inspiring names of Perun, Veles, Svantevit, and Triglav testify to a much larger (if also largely forgotten) realm of Slavic myth and religion. Unfortunately our pagan ancestors left almost no traces of their religion, rituals, and myths. We have no surviving testimonies of Slavic prayers or myths, little iconography and hardly any artefacts – and certainly no spectacular archaeological finds, like the ruins of ancient Slavic temples. In fact, much of what we know about Slavic religion comes from Christian chroniclers writing their accounts at a time when Slavic religion was already in decline. All of this doesn't mean that our knowledge about Slavic religion amounts to nothing. For historians of Slavic religions, this lack of source material was a challenge – a call to resort to other methods and reconstruction, like drawing on the finds of other disciplines, such as linguistics, ethnology, archeology, comparative religion, and Indo-European studies, as well as searching for surviving relics of the ancient pagan religion still present in the tales, legends, and customs of the Slavic folk. Their results can often be called sensational.
