ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Slavic Neopaganism

So, do you know how some people believe in different gods and goddesses? Like how some people believe in Jesus and God and some people believe in Allah?

Well, there are some people who believe in gods and goddesses from a long, long time ago in a place called Eastern Europe. They call this Slavic neopaganism.

These gods and goddesses were worshipped by the people who lived in Eastern Europe thousands of years before now. They believed in things like nature, the sun, the moon, and the stars. This was how they explained things that they didn't understand, like thunder and lightning.

Now, some people want to believe in these gods and goddesses again. They think it's important to remember where they came from and to keep their traditions alive. They might have special places that they go to worship, like a forest or a river.

Slavic neopaganism is different from other religions because it's not as well-known or widely accepted. But for the people who believe in it, it's important and meaningful to them.
