As a Slavic person I'd say our mythology is severely underappreciated. People, it's not just Baba Yaga.

[leoorduna]

The reason why Slavic and Norse mythology are similar (along with Greco-Roman, Celtic, Persian, and Hindu)is because the mythologies have the same Proto-Indo-European roots.

I have not seen perun with the hammer, usually its an axe.

[mirjana]

Correction:perun actually carried an axe and was portrayes difrently

[trinwheeler]

Loki wasn't really anyone's nemesis, they were just a chaotic bastard. So was Odin, Odin loved trickery, he disguised himself all the time to test the hearts of men and exchange fun riddles. Loki just happened to kill Balder.

Fun fact: in polish there is proverb: Let the thunderbolt hit him ( niech go piorun trzaśnie) - we say this when we are annoyed at somebody. This proverb comes from different version Let Perun hit him (Niech go Perun trzaśnie). In polish we have change Perun to piorun

Eh, Veles isn't really *evil* so much as he is a horned god who lives underground, and, well... the people who wrote this stuff down were Christian and jumped to conclusions
Also, Veles and Perun both punish oathbreakers, but where Perun just smites them with lightning, Veles smites them with diseases

I’m no Norse mythological expert(hell im barely scratching the surface of being called a novice) but I don’t think Loki and Thor were enemies until Ragnarok, now he didn’t like the guy(probably had some hate in him for him) but he was practically his uncle being a blood sworn brother of Odin

[texasranger]

Just like the Greece and Roman they share the same mythology but named it different







I’m just joking y’all don’t take this seriously

[darandomdog]

I like how similar Celtic, Slavic and Norse mythology can get its quite fun seeing how different places basically interpret the same myths and stories in unique ways

[jakubhavranek]

I am slavic and i am looking for some books about slavic mythology. Does anyone know domě books?

[goldexp]

Considering the the Slavic and Norse come from similar origins of culture it makes sense that they're thunder gods are similar as well

[unknown]

Well yes. I’m a Slavic Pagan and we do have some similar things to the Nords. But that’s because we’re both Indo-European and live quite close to eachother. But, other Gods besides Perun are not the same to the Nordes. For example Odin their allfather and Svarog our allfather are literaly nothing alike.

[kal]

Veles isn’t mean though
He was valued as much as perun
Also perun had an axe

[joker]

Genuinely amazes me how cultures from thousands of miles and years apart from each other have the same god's. Really says something about the human animal

[Anna-rkwi]

My family is polish and I’ve recently started getting into Slavic myths and I got hyped when I saw this!

[Jacob-giig]

Would love to see some celtic mythology. Being my family is irish and scottish I've always found interest in it.

[spurdo]

I like how intermingled they are, then there is finnish mythology

[Aemott]

As a fellow slav, I am just finding out that slavic mythology is a thing thanks to this video

[definitelynotobama]

And it’s here I learn how Robert Jordan came up with the name for Perrin in the Wheel of Time.
