A possible Early Slavic shrine

[Aslav]

Hi!

An interesting discovery of a posible Early Slavic shrine was made in a cave in Slovenia. This paper claims the petroglyphs in the cave are images of a Slavic god Perun, and discusses the Slavic ritual landscape around the shrine:

If true, it is a great find!

seems no evidence of any kind... lots of speculation.......

I find it interesting. I have already mentioned in these forum the name of the Indo-Aryan God Parjanya, whose name occurs in RigVeda and closely corresponds to Perun, as well as that of the the demon Vala which corresponds to Veles. I find the story of Devin interesting, because we have many stories of divine damsels pursued by demons. At a famous Mother Goddess shrine in Kashmir, Vaishno Devi, the damsel turned into a stone in a cave. There is no idol in this shrine but just three rock protrusions. People generally have to wait for eight to twelve hours to reach the sanctum sanctorum.

I like Perun. He was the Polish god of Thunder.
