Chernobog and Belobog

Uncommon card · No. 77283

Chernobog (lit. "Black God") and Belobog (lit. "White God") are a pair of opposing deities alleged to be part of Polabian mythology. The first written account of Chernobog is in the 12th-century Chronicle of the Slavs, where he is described as a god of misfortune worshipped by the Wagri and Obodrites; while Belobog is first noted in 16th century literature in opposition to Chernobog. Researchers disagree on whether the two deities were indeed part of Slavic folklore: while many scholars believe the two theonyms are authentic, others believe they are pseudo-deities. Both deities appear in later sources, however, with Chernobog being associated with the Christian devil.
