The world of Slavic paganism, rituals, magic, and occult practices has always been an intriguing ground for historians and folklorists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The religious traditions of the Slavs were challenged with the introduction and imposition of Christianization, however, most of the medieval Slavic people did not embrace Christianity on a higher level and gave rise to the so-called “double faith” (in Russian “dvoverie”) that preserved the deities, customs and the rituals that were often associated with magic and sorcery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
