Yugoslav sources on paganism
Hi guys, I'm interested in slavic myths and practices from ex-Yugoslavia, there are not many books available, I actually
only know about the new books from Prof. Radoslav Katacic. I am not sure they were translated into English though.
Can anyone recommend some books to read? I am specifically interested in Slovenia and North-Croatia, but I would also like sources from other slavic countries and regions, so i can compare them.
I can read them in ex-Yugoslav languages, english and german. I have a bit of trouble with Czech and Slovak, Polish and Russian are quite hard to understand for me.
I am also interested in the history and practices of so called "Vedmas and Vedmaks", I am not sure I have ever heard the term in Croatian, a lot of mythical characters have slightly different names in ex-Yugoslavia, for example the famous Baba Yaga is called "Baba Roga" (horned old woman). She was my only contact with slavic myths, because when my grandma would scold me she would tell me that Baba Roga would take me, but when I asked her who Baba Rogs was, she described her as a rather positive character who just wanted to live on her own in the forrest and people who were passing by were bothering her.
Can someone recommend a reading starter pack for me?
Thanks everyone!
