List of Slavic deities

The pagan Slavs were polytheistic, which means that they worshipped many gods and goddesses. The gods of the Slavs are known primarily from a small number of chronicles and letopises, or not very accurate Christian sermons against paganism. Additionally, more numerous sources in which Slavic theonyms are preserved include names, proper names, place names, folk holidays, and language, including sayings.

Information about Slavic paganism, including the gods, is scarce because Christian missionaries were not very interested in the spiritual life of the Slavs. Also, no accounts written down directly by the pagan Slavs exist. During the process of Christianisation, the deities could, on the one hand, be demonized in order to deter people from worshipping them, or, on the other, have their characteristics and functions appropriated and applied to certain saints, with the aim of making the new religion seem less alien by creating a sense of continuity.
