VELES - major Slavic God of Earth, Water and the Underworld #slavicmagic #god

This is Veles, one of the most prominent Slavic gods. As the protector of crops and livestock, he brings abundance to the home, while his connection to the underworld and magic gives him depth and commands respect. He is often depicted as a strong man with a bull's head or horns, reflecting his untamed natural power. 🐂

His cult was so strong in its time that with the advent of Christianity, the new faith saw him as the very embodiment of the devil. In 988, Prince Vladimir of Kyiv even went so far as to have the idol of Veles cast down and thrown into the Pochayna River to erase his legacy. But we do not forget the old gods! 🔥

No mass-produced plastic, but 100% hand-carved wood. This 19 cm tall statuette is crafted with respect for ancient Slavic mythology and tradition. Thanks to honest craftsmanship, every single piece is an absolute original that looks great on a desk or a shelf.
