SVAROG

Svarog is the Sun God, the father of our universe and everything in it. The „Blacksmith of the Heavens“. He created all of the other gods from the sparks of white flame from the Alatir stone.
He is the creator and the guardian of the sacred fire and is believed to be connected to the hearth of every house.
The symbol of Svarog was the spinning wheel (kolovrat), Slavic svastika (the symbol of Sun) with eight prongs.

Tuesday was the day dedicated to Svarog, his place in the cult was the hearth, which is where most of the ceremonies celebrating Svarog were held. Certainly the most important were the ones celebrated around Christmas (Bozic – Svarozic).

During the winter solstice: in honor of Svarog, Slavs would put a bunch of oak tree branches (so-called 'badnjak')- which represented the spirits of the ancestors- on the hearth and there the ghosts would fan the flames of the Sun. Also, priests would bake big cakes, symbols of a fruitful year.

Symbols Svarog isare eagles, wheat, walnut, oak and vine tree.
Being the most powerful of all gods, he had the sovereignty over the entire heavens: Svarga, the Sun, the Moon, the rainbow and the stars.

In our mythological chess, Svarog has the role of KING.
