Rev. Avende had a chance to discuss with Rev. C. Oleg Wildridge in the car when he came into town to visit Columbus back in late February. We start out with a discussion of Svetovit and Perun and Veles; we move into a discussion of Svarog and the (potentially) non-binary or genderfluid nature of Łado or Łada; this gives us a chance to look to other notions of genderfluidity in other pantheons as well, and how that relates to both the mythology, but also to us.

Rev. Wildridge was ordained at last year's Summerland, so they also discuss what sorts of shifts and experiences he's had since becoming a Priest, and what it's been like to enter into that role, which leads to a discussion of how both our hosts interact with the deities they work with, and then back around to a description of the Slavic godden.

The book mentioned at the end, Sources of Slavic Pre-Christian Religion by Juan Antonio Álvarez-Pedrosa is available on Amazon (though it's a bit pricy; check your local library, too).
