ON PERUN: WEAPONS
By reading the oaths which were recorded in the Primary Chronicle, we can see that Perun was associated with war and weapons. The wooden statue of Perun which stood in front of Prince Vladimir’s hall had been furnished with a silver helmet and his statues were surrounded with weapons. Of the weapons dedicated to Perun, the most notable one is the axe. Similar to how Thor’s Hammer was a prominent amulet in Scandinavia, a similar practice can be observed in Eastern European countries. In some parts of Poland and Hungary and all the way east into the west Asian parts of Russia, there have been around 60 archaeological findings of axe amulets. These amulets were mainly made out of bronze and were between three and four millimetres long. Two types of this axe were found and were classified as Makarov type 1 and 2. Type one represented a bearded axe A knob-like protrusion is usually present on the lower side of the axe.

The 2nd type represents an axe of a symmetrical shape, similar to the knob of the first type, the second has two horn-like protrusions diametrically opposite on the upper and lower side. These axes were usually decorated with circles or had a hole in their centre and zigzag lines around it. According to Darkevich who also first started raising awareness about these axes being connected to Perun, the hole in the middle represents the sun, while the zigzag lines represent lightning bolts. It was believed by the old Slavs that the Sun brought fire to our world through lightning strikes. Makarov believed that young boys were given these amulets during their first haircut. If such boy died, he would be buried with the amulet. On the contrary, Woloszyn though that these amulets were given to the Rus’ druzhina (fellowship of the Prince of Kievan Rus).

A true woman bears the struggle of bearing children, accepting the warping of her body to bring forth the next generation of Folk, to raise the children into adults, and in the end she may die in peace happy to see she successfully brought in the next generation that in turn has the next generation and she is thus honored and put on a pedestal as a Goddess incarnate.

ON PERUN: THE THUNDERMARK
The most notable symbol of Perun, other than his axe is the thundermark, or rather the thundermarks. These hexagonal symbols were carved on rooftops. It was believed that by carving a thundermark on your rooftop, you will be protected and not hit by a lightning. Other than the rooftops, these thundermarks appeared on pottery of the Chernyakov culture of Eastern Europe, which dates back to the 4th century.

Pagans DO NOT worship trees anymore than Christians worship dead wood in the shape of a cross - Just as the cross is a symbol of a transcendent principle for Christians, the tree is a symbol of a god for pagans - in the case of the oak, it represents the strength of the thunder god.
ON PERUN: PERUN BATTLES VELES
The most significant myth of any Indo-European culture is the battle between the Thunderer and the Serpent. Sadly, this myth in didn’t survive in Slavic culture, only in the form of St. George killing the Dragon. Russian philologists V. Ivanov and V. Toporov reconstructed the mythical battle between Perun Veles through comparative study of various Indo-European cultures. Even though there are no records of Veles being a serpent, this role was dedicated to him through etymological comparison with Vala from Vedic mythology and Velnias from Baltic mythology, to which Veles is very similar. According to the myth, Veles comes out of the underworld in the form of a serpent and heads towards Perun’s realm, by climbing up the World Tree, from which he tries to steal his son, wife or cattle.

Perun doesn’t let him go, but attacks him in rage, charging lightning bolts at him. Veles uses his magic to hide. He takes form of people, animals or trees, but he cannot escape Perun’s wrath, in the end Perun smites him. Victory over Veles represents the ending of a cycle, which means that Veles will be reborn and return with the same thing in mind. Many scholars, including L. Klejn and I. M. Diakonoff, have criticized this theory proposed by Ivanov and Toporov, but there are also scholars, including B. Uspensky, T. Tsivyan and T. Sudnik which supported this theory.
In 2008, Croatian academic Ante Miloshevich started raising awareness about a church which was built in 8th century, in Zrnovnica, Croatia. On one of its ancient walls, the church holds a relief of a figure that is riding a horse and piercing a beast with its spear.

The relief represents a bearded and shirtless man that carries a spear, with which he is attacking a beast that is biting on the spear’s head. We can see that the beast is standing on the ground, while there is some object, possibly a cloud behind the Rider. The rider’s spear’s end is coming out of the cloud. Ante Miloshevich concludes that the short tail, big paws with long claws and the head which has sharp teeth in its mouth and small ears clearly show that the beast in question is a bear. It is believed that the horse rider is Perun because of the traces of Perun worship which exist around the village. The hill behind Zrnovnica is called Perun, nearby there are hills Perunsko Brdo and Perunich. If we observe the Perun hill from Zrnovnica, we can clearly see it resembling a head which has a beard and is wearing a moustache, just like the Rider. The relief was not originally a part of the church. First it belonged to another object in the nearby village of Grachic. Miloshevich also compared the Rider to novgorodian small statues that represent Perun. They all represent him as a bearded man with a helmet who wears a tunic (or some form of a male skirt). It is evident that the worship of Perun played an important role to the people of Zrnovnica. Miloshevich concludes that the beast in question represents Veles in his bear form.

ON PERUN: SURVIVAL OF PERUN WORSHIP IN CHRISTIANITY
After Christianization the cult of Perun merged and was transformed into veneration of Saint Elias. This happened most likely because of the Old Testament, which credited Saint Elias with the ability to bring rain and thunderstorms. Thus, through these means, an obscure Christian saint became a major celebrity in Slavic Orthodoxy. In the later Christian iconography of Saint Elias, he appears like Perun traversing the sky in the chariot of fire or riding on the horse. He has also been associated with thunders arrows and oaks.
On the 20th of July, Saint Elias’ day, a cow was slaughtered and the meat prepared by males. It was then distributed in the church and eaten by the whole congregation. This custom, evidently not being Christian, resembles the sacrificial killing of an animal and the communal consumption of the meat. This celebration could be observed in Russia, Serbia and Macedonia.

This is something that always seemed obvious, and after contact with many followers of an indo-european tradition from outside of the SVNKVLT, I feel I had to say something about. There is this pervasive thought that the Gods somehow get stronger by our veneration, worship, offerings etc. They do not. Being very powerful beings, upholders of Natural Law and the ultimate cause of every physical phenomenon in the material universe, they do not NEED our prayers and offerings. However, if we show devotion and respect to them, the chance that they will favour you gets significantly higher, thus giving the impression that they became "stronger", when in fact they are just more present around you.
^ People who think that clearly get their religion from Warhammer!
i.e. Sacrifice to Khorne/Nurgle/Tzeentch/Slaanesh makes them stronger and give them enough offerings and they'll lend ya some demons to fight alongside you for your cause.
If the whole "prayer/ritual for x deity gives them y power" thing worked, then Allah/Yahweh would be dominating thousandfold more now than he already does, but we're seeing a return to European faith amongst people of European heritage.

Some Slavic info for the festival tonight.
On the occult: a personal impression of mine has been that opinion on the occult has been polarized. Either it is utterly evil demon worship - this coming from puritan protestants, especially if they reside in the United States, but from other christians as well - or that it is completely good, but it is reserved for a mental or spiritual elite; those who demonise it are mental or spiritual peasants. My impression is that upon the Christianization of Europe, much pre-christian knowledge went underground, being studied by those few who were both educated and brave enough to go against the Church. These people were unfortunately joined by evil people, who would have been shunned in any society regardless if christian or pagan. Through deceit and misinterpretation and twisting of pre-christian traditional thought, they took over occultism and the spiritual and maybe even physical descendants of these people are in power to this day. Some of the global false elite that leads us keep practicing twisted pagan practices, combined with what could even be worship of evil entities. What happens is that the elite is accused of practicing paganism, thus giving the impression that pre-christian europeans did the same things that the global elite is doing today. This is FALSE.
Mind that not all that is deemed as occultism is bad, however keep out a cautious eye. Many former pagans I know have fallen for degenerate, anti-Traditional paths such as LaVeyan Satanism and so on. If you are in doubt, check out the less "occult" sources, such as the primary ones, or studies done from Evola or Dumezil.

O diese Sonne
Der Freischütz, Op. 77, J. 277, (usually translated as The Marksman or The Freeshooter) is a German opera with spoken dialogue in three acts by Carl Maria von Weber with a libretto by Friedrich Kind. It premiered on 18 June 1821 at the Schauspielhaus Berlin. It is considered the first important German Romantic opera, especially in its national identity and stark emotionality.
The plot is based on the German folk legend of the Freischütz and many of its tunes were thought to be inspired by German folk music, but this is a common misconception. Its unearthly portrayal of the supernatural in the famous Wolf's Glen scene has been described as "the most expressive rendering of the gruesome that is to be found in a musical score".
