S02E06 Perun The Thunderer

Among the ancient Slavs there was a general conviction that in the sky heights, above the clouds, there was an almighty deity who governed lightning and thunder, rain and storms, but also ruled the earthly world.  Very early on, the myth of the thundering god, the lord of lightning, was born in the heavenly vault, creating noise while riding in his magical carriage.

Talking about the supreme Slavic pantheon, we can't escape the power and fame of this god. His reign is both heavenly and ethereal, dark and bright, rainy and sunny. He's the god who left the richest legacy in our lore. In personal names, poems, stories, in the names of villages, mountains and plants, as well as on people themselves. He is a representative of stormy skies followed with magnificent thunders – the almighty Perun.
