Weles / Veles

Veles, the Slavic god of Death, Water, and Livestock. Created by the Supreme god: Rod, Veles was seen as the chief god: Perun’s opposite and greatest rival. This is accentuated by the pair’s most popular myth, in which Veles in the form of a dragon steals a prized possession of Perun (typically his cattle, but sometimes either his wife or daughters). Because of this theft, Veles brings the cold seasons upon the world. But Perun chases Veles across the mortal realm, attempting to slay him with his thunderbolts, and when Perun eventually succeeds, the warm seasons return to the world. Veles’ abode: Nav, lies within the roots of the Slavic World tree. Veles guides recently departed souls through the watery realm, with Veles’ throne lying in the center atop a swamp.

Contrary to modern day consensus, Veles as a death god wasn’t believed to be evil. Even in his prominent myth of fighting Perun, he’s sometimes been displayed in a positive light, protecting Farmers and their cattle from Perun’s lightning. This adds to the belief that ancient Slavic spiritualism never had any overtly good or evil spirits, as universal good and evil weren’t a concept in Slavic mythology. It’s because of this that the speculative chernobog is so highly contested, as in a spiritual system where there is no universal good or evil, there could not be a god of said evil. Instead it’s posited that Chernobog was just a reconfigured Veles, much like the belief that Belobog was a reconfigured Perun. Their Dualism doesn’t end there as in the modern day it’s survived in the body of Santa Claus/St. Nick. Like the myth of St.Nick protecting livestock from St.Elias’ thunder, to the concept of Santa and Krampus. Veles’ role connects him with many different deities like the Norse Odin and Loki, to the Gaulish Cernunnos. He’s even sometimes likened to the Wiccan horned god.

Do you mind explaining the difference between ‘bad writing’ and ‘bad characters’?

I saw you mentioned that Adrien is badly written but liked(not sure if that was the right word) him.

I feel that the whole writing is bad but because he’s written consistently bad in certain areas that it becomes more of character flaws that leads to a bad character instead of him being a good character written badly.

Btw this isn’t hate to you I’m genuinely curious sorry if tone is off

It’s more like. I get what the intention was for a character. I get what their base characteristics are supposed to be. It’s just that they’re notably not that in actuality. So okay. We know that Adrien is supposed to be a kindhearted boy in an unfortunate situation but still trying to figure out the world regardless. That’s what he was in the first season where his only offense of note was blaming LB in Copycat. We got to see him and know him and know what the next logical steps were for him but then. I assume it came with the crew reading too much fanfic that the series adopted fanon in the following seasons by dialing up the sad uwu baby boy who can do no wrong factor to a ridiculous degree and decided he was too ✨sensitive✨ for plot after all and just

In other words: I like him more for what he was during his introduction and what he could’ve been had the crew no royally fumbled the easiest most obvious character arc they had in their collection of characters. That being said, canon adrichat as he is sucksssss but to me he’s a walking corpse of a once promising young lad.

Question for those that have experience with death deities and those who protect the dead

🥀🐺💀🗝️🥀

So, I’ve been doing some reading about Gods of the Dead - Pluto/Hades/Nyja, etc.

I have a question for anyone who feel inspired to answer in either a comment reply or a reblog.

In many descriptions it is written that they are a “god of the underworld and guardian of souls when they leave the body.”

Do you think this could also be true for those who do soul travel or astral projection? Would the god of the dead also protect those who practice traveling?

And if not him, who? Would anyone be the watcher of this practice? Another psychopomp?

I’m looking for personal gnosis and historical/folkloric evidence of something like this. Thank you ♥️
