Culture: Slavic   Domain: Wind, the sky

Stribog is a wind god named in early Slavic chronicles alongside Perun and Dazhbog, understood in later folklore and literary reference (again via the Tale of Igor's Campaign) as scattering the winds like arrows across the land, tying him to the reach and speed of moving air.

Associations

Wind, far-reaching intention, speed, scattered but purposeful movement.

Ways people honor him (modern)

  • Send an intention out symbolically on the wind, such as releasing a written wish outdoors
  • Practice breathwork tied to open, moving air
  • Keep a feather on the altar
  • Research his brief but notable mentions in medieval Slavic literary sources

Approach any deity with respect and do your own research. Practices vary widely between traditions, and modern devotional practice often goes beyond what survives in ancient sources.
