[Emily Pongrance · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book is bizarre. The author claims to be a philosopher but doesn't list his background or education. The text makes a lot of outrageous claims about the history and prehistory of the Slavic faith, but doesn't cite any sources, even though the author claims a good deal of it is translation.

The author preaches a strange version of eugenics, Scientology and writes off anything the reader might find 'offensive' as a mere translation of the facts.

Oh, and it is also apparently this author's mission to bring facts about this to English speakers who can't translate unnamed texts for themselves.

So, just know what you're getting into if you're going to read this. It has no basis in any fact and is written by someone who has no biography.

Did I drop acid or buy a book?

I feel like I took a hit of acid and spent an afternoon licking "Chariot of the Gods" while A Scientology podcast played in the background. I was expecting an overview of the myths and legends of the Slavic people. Instead I got multidimensional aliens, a war straight out of a DC comic, and 'evidence' based on hearsay of non Slavic peoples which were non-specific and highly erroneous. The author even goes so far as to try to bring science into the mixture, but his science it wrong on so many levels. There are no citations. There is no bibliography. The author references Ph.Ds who he drew information from, but does not name them, nor their work. I'm so glad I bought only one book and not the entire series.

The author conveys Slavic paganism as a very fundamentalist religion. This cannot be known, since writing didn't come about with the Slavic peoples until after the Christians came in and converted them, so everything written about the pagan faith at the time was distorted through the lens of Christianity. It seems like a thinly disguised way to give legitimacy to the author's misogynistic and bigoted views.

Highly racist and sexist....more Scientology than pagan.

Don't bother. The text barely coherent. The ideas are horrendous. Nothing in this is ancient. Only right wing conspiracies, not Slavic faith.

Terrible. Absolutely terrible. Full of propaganda. This book has no actual source apart from the writer's imagination and personal wants on what he wants this to be. He wrote this while knowing full well that he is making all these claims without any actual proof or base.

Filled with racism, xenophobia, sexism, and more (all of which, again, have no proof to them). He didn't even bothering trying to make it all make sense either.

Looks like another American who claims to be anything but American trying to justify his hateful behavior and bigotry.

Please do not read. Even the very first pages are laughable, he tries to make up a bullshit reason as to why he randomly capitalizes some words and makes so many mistakes. This is very poorly written.

More of a fiction for white supremacists than anything else.

Don’t bother with any of the authors books. The author is racist, sexist & ignorant. The author claims that the faith originated in aliens arriving on our planet or something of that nature. I gave up before finishing because it was such a horrible & bizarre read.

I get to this book looking for slav mythology, instead, I found a book about an ancient religion. Really weird stuff for me.
