Rod, Father of the Gods
The study has attempted a historical reconstruction of the cult of Rod, father of men and gods as well as one the pre-Christian deities most praised by the East Slavic people. With archeological records taken as a basis for the research, the author challenges the current mainstream theory of historical science which portrays Rod as being false and unimportant to our ancestors. The essay offers a genuine history of the origin of the cult of Rod as well as focusing on its presence in all aspects of life of the pre-Christian East Slavs.
