Hey I found you by searching the rodnovery tag. Right now there's a YA author cancelled for (among other things) recommending talking to rodnovery practitioners in order to research Slavic folklore. People seem to be assuming that rodnovery is antisemitic and white nationalist by default, but it doesn't seem that way to me. Can you help me shed some light on this?

That is literally the most absurd thing I've ever heard of. I know you expected a well-worded response from me but I am so flabbergasted by the sheer stupidity of it that I wouldn't know where to start. Thanks for reaching out, anon, but I literally need to sit down for 10 minutes first and then get back to you.

Are there any websites with a glossary of terms used in Rodnovery or Slavic native faith?

If I remember correctly, many websites have glossaries for different concepts for religions. For example, there are several websites for people to understand the terms used in the Asatru religion:

I would like a website that shows terms often used in Rodnovery, whether in Russian, Polish, and English. Thank you!

For Slavic mythology, how about Morozko? He’s a curious sort of figure, I think. The pre ded-moroz who seems more brutal and unforgiving as most early deities are. But there seems to be just the one fairy story about him. Do you know any more? Thank you!

Hmm, depends on your idea of ’’deity’’. I wouldn’t go so far as to classify Morozko as one of the gods, though I suppose he falls into the loose ’’winter spirit’’ category. He’s definitely an interesting figure, and now that you mention it I realize I’ve never made a post about him!

Alas, like you yourself said, there’s isn’t much left in terms of stories, at least not online, and in these cases our best bet is usually digging through old fairytale books and talking to people who still know these stories to be able to pass them down orally (like my grandpa!). I will take some time to do the right sort of digging around before I decide to make a post about him.

Thank you for the idea!
