Searching for the Slavic Soul

Searching for the Slavic Soul

Discovering the Slavic culture is not easy. Scientific sources are scarce, and oral tradition tainted by Judaeo-Christian point of view, imposed on our ancestors with fire and sword. Written sources come from historians or travellers looking at the culture of Slavs with the eyes of a witness, not a participant and usually from the perspective of a foreign (Roman, Arabic, Judeo-Christian) culture. Archaeological discoveries require interpretation by modern researchers which obviously blurs the original meaning of the artefacts.

Large part of the “Witia” project is an attempt to look at the Slavic culture with the eyes of a pagan, with an open-minded approach and respectful curiosity. Listening to the whispers of our Slavic souls we try to separate interpretations from facts and find in our heritage the elements which were suppressed by the hundreds of years of Christianisation.

A very interesting intro, touching on subjects I personally had a problem with (accuracy in actions, while missing the whole spirit of the action itself) modern-day paganism/rituals in general.
Absolutely recommended.

I really enjoyed this! It was a very interesting point of view on 'research' by random people who've chosen to write books on pagan religions.

Very interesting
