Slavic God Dazhbog
In the ancient Russian mythology Dazhdbog appears as a son of the Almighty Perun and a mermaid named Ros. He is a Gift-Lord, The God of Gifts. A God of sun and warmth. He is regarded as the ultimate ancestor of the Russian people, and even today a poetic reference to Russians can be made using the phrase “children” or “grandchildren of Dazhdebog”. Ros is also a name of the river which is still alive and doing well. It is in Ukraine, and it is one of the many branches of the river Dnepr. Look for the town called Belaya Tserkov (White Church) on the map and you will immediately see the river. One brunch of Slavs that lived near Ros called themselves rosichi or later rusichi that finally gave a name to the state of Rus, its Peter the Great’s modification Rossiya (Russia) and to all Russkie (Russians).According to Slavic neopagans, Dazbog lives in the Palace of the East, the land of eternal summer and plenty. Each morning he emerged from the arms of The Zorya to ride his chariot drawn by three horses: one is gold, one is silver, and one is diamond. He is depicted with a silver head and a golden moustache. He is the son of Svarog. Some myths give him as the husband of the lunar goddess Myesyats, placing him with her during the summer. In Russian lore, he is said to begin the day as an infant and die an old man at the end of the daylight. Later Siberian folklore reduced him to the status of a demon.
