Spooky citation
[edit]" Some priests said that Triglav has three heads because he rules all three kingdoms (sky, earth and hell) and has a binding over his eyes so he could not see people's sins. "
What priests?

- Christian priests wrote records of cultures they tried to convert (especially since the priests were often simply converted Slavs) because knowledge of a culture allows them to place Christian deities in the stead of pagan ones similarly how Hunab Ku was used to convert Americans and how the Triglav trinity was probably replaced by the Christian trinity. There are no pagan priests, there were no pagan priests, do not talk of such things. 99.236.221.124 (talk) 06:56, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

"There are no pagan priests, there were no pagan priests, do not talk of such things. "
So let's remain quiet about it. Knowledge about Slavic priests as Volhvs and priestesses known as Volhive could be "dangerous" to the modern knowledge about "primitive pagan satanic" Slavs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.182.120.4 (talk) 17:11, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
Sources
[edit]information about worship of Triglav is quite extensive, being mentioned in the medieval chronicles by Ebbo and Herbord, who both wrote about life of saint Otto from Bamberg - a missionary who christianized Szczecin and destroyed the temple of Triglav. One of these sources was provided here, albeit only in Latin - anybody has the English version? If so, please help improving article. Besides, I'm personally interested in reading of this book and I don't know Latin well. Here is the link to the library record in Polish version: http://yufind.library.yale.edu/yufind/Record/386646/Description#tabnav Sadly, no source text. Anyway, article is quite well sourced even now, as it makes use of the primary source. As for secondary ones, please refer Jerzy Gieysztor ("Mitologia Słowian") or Aleksander Bruckner - two prominent scholars of Slavic mythology and religion.

- Of course they are, but there are historical images, like famous paintings or archaeological findings, i..e those which have encyclopedic value. Not fantasies of random people. Staszek Lem (talk) 17:37, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
- Images by this man (Marek Hapon) are illustrating other articles about slavic gods (including Deities of Slavic religion) and nobody have problem with it. His works are part of resources of Wikimedia Commons. I really don't see any problem with usage of it. --Wojsław Brożyna (talk) 17:46, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
- Images of this man are being systematically removed from English wikipedia by me, because this man has no authority whatsoever. The fact that he uploaded lots of his work on Commons add nothing to his credibility in wikipedia. I strongly suggest you to see problems with information coming from non-credible sources. Pictures play an important role in understanding information, and random fantasies do not contribute to understanding of the subject. Staszek Lem (talk) 20:33, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
