But Chernobog is not inherently evil. Come to think of it, none of the Slavic gods are.
@MI9827 жыл бұрын
True. A lot of their gods are/were dichotomous in nature but from the generally accepted narrative, I really don't remember any of them being explicitly evil. Also, I did not know that there are any legit sources on ancient slavic religion since everything they had built got torn down during the violent christianization of the slavic tribes. Most records about ancient slavs are about their culture and way of life while very few of the old religious customs survived through the middle ages.

In exchange for the box that held all the potential stories that could exist, the Sky God ordered Anansi to bring to him O-Sebo, the leopard with the terrible teeth, Om-Boro, the hornets who sting like fire, and Mua-Tia, the fairy who no men ever see.

the Abrahamic God is not the same as in the past and has been split (in reality) into several different conflicting aspects. The God of the Protestants, the Catholics, the Jews, the Evangelicals and there are other lesser manifestations. Keep in mind that the premise of the book is that a gods power comes from true belief. Most belief these days is lip service and the actual belief is in something else: Power, Prestige, Wealth, Fear, etc,.

Even the "Outer Gods" The Parents of Cthulhu who are the Indifferent Creator Gods. The "Great Old Ones" Cthulhu and his Brothers and Sisters. Then the Elder Gods are Cthulhu Children. And unfortunately outside of People who Love Cosmic Horror were left out of the Series. But if they were in the American Gods Universe I would hate to fight for the side they are not on.

Firstly Belobog is not a Slavic God, There are theories about an opposite to Chernobog or Zherneboh (The Black God). It is a construct made by people of a monotheistic culture. It's akin to saying Eirene was the opposite to Ares. Where in fact the two are not. Eirene is a name change of Horae who is the goddess of time! Don't quote me on this but I think it was the Athenians who did this to send a message to the Spartans (Time heals old wounds (possibly)) You did no research before producing this video.

But Egyptian mythology is part of my spirituality as well; Just so you know, Thoth is actually pronounced "Toe th", but I think it's been mispronounced so many times, that Thoth "Th ahh th" is often considered correct, but it really isn't. Just a fascinating fact. But really, the Leprechaun is my favorite, since the moment I saw him. I find something strangely attractive about him, but it's probably his style I like about him, plus I have a thing for Irish guys, as my husband is Irish. :)
