Searching for the Slavic Soul

Religion EN ↓ 56 episodes

Searching for the Slavic Soul is an attempt to look at Slavic culture with the eyes of a Rodnover — a practitioner of Slavic Native Faith. We separate interpretations from facts and find in the Slavic heritage the elements which were suppressed by time and Christianisation. Focused on authentic, evidence-based pre-Christian Slavic traditions only — no Wicca, no eclectic neopaganism, no New-Age inventions. witia.substack.com
