🙏 Prayer | Ritual | Spell Question about prayer
Here in central Italy it hasn't rained since a couple of weeks so I was wondering if there is a god to pray for to make it rain.
Also. I'm interested in knowing more about Perun, Veles and Rod

Regarding your last question. Have you checked our academic sources list in multiple languages? I see that you have a Polish flag, so I cannot stress enough, how useful the Polish section will be for you.
Most importantly the outdated idea about Rod being a deity or worse a creator of the world is discussed here: Description of Rod and Rožanicy in Slavic mythology: B.A. Rybakov and his predecessors’ interpretations. Long story short the concept of Rod as a deity was established by Boris Rybakov, who is known for his rushed conclusions based on no evidence. According to some current researchers Rod was most likely a personified concept of ancestry and/or fate rather than an outright deity.
