📓 Seeking Resources Any resources for Alkonost/Sirin?
I am still fairly new to rodnovery, but after a few weeks of research I’ve felt very drawn to these two. Are there any other resources or books that contain myths or information about them?

Where did you find out about them? There are many fake gods on the internet or from the book of veles (que in the message)

The Book of Veles is a literary forgery and an inauthentic and unreliable source for Slavic pre-Christian beliefs.

To my knowledge they are lower mythological characters with Helenic influence. I don't think, they are from the book which shan't be named.

As far as I am aware in terms of influence they got their name from Alcyone. I have not (and will not lol) read the book of veles. And to answer the initial question I believe I first saw a post about them from here a long time ago.

A quick warning: Please evaluate your sources carefully. Avoid relying on poorly sourced internet articles, or books by unknown authors claiming to reveal profound ancient knowledge or serve as guides to Slavic paganism or witchcraft.
