The book is devoted to the mythology and religious tradition of the ancestors of Belarusians. The debatable issues of the existence of the pantheon, the names, attributes and characteristics of the gods are considered. On the basis of folklore, history and a number of other sources, the images of the local gods are distinguished, which correspond to the ancient Indo-European ones and are their continuation in the Belarusian folklore-mythological tradition.
The publication is intended for historians, ethnographers, researchers of mythology and religion, local historians, as well as for a wide range of readers interested in traditional Belarusian culture.
