Using the Emic–Etic Distinction to Understand the Medieval Christian Interpretations of Slavic Pagan Religion
This article experimentally applies anthropological perspectives to ancient European religions, focusing on Slavic pre-Christian beliefs. It aims to offer nuanced analytical tools and a reflective framework to interpret these religions, primarily by examining how Christian sources portray Slavic paganism and discussing the emic–etic distinction’s advantages and limitations. The article categorizes the strategies employed by medieval Christian wri…
Rusalki: Anthropology of Time, Death, and Sexuality in Slavic Folklore Rusalky: antropologie času, smrti a sexuality ve slovanském folkloru
The Eastern Slavic rusalki are feminine mythological beings commonly associated with water, death, and sexuality. They have been thoroughly ethnographically described, classified and compared.

Slovanská hippomancie. Koňský divinační rituál jako mediátor v symbolické soustavě slovanského pohanství Slavic Hippomancy. Horse Divinatory Ritual as a Mediator in the Symbolic System of Slavic Pagan…
The paper focuses on the meaning and function of the Western-Slavic horse divination and lot-drawing rituals. By means of analysis of written sources, contexts of the Indo-European comparative mythology and through the lenses of the anthropological perspective on the culture, it shows the way this ritual could work as an integrative and mediating force for disparate layers of cultural symbolic systems
The Three-Headed One at the Crossroad. A Comparative Study of the Slavic God Triglav Troglavi na razpotju. Primerjalna študija o slovanskem bogu Triglavu
This paper introduces a comparative analysis combined with a historical source overview concerning a particular Slavic god: Triglav. The aim of this paper is to verify the hypothesis that Triglav was, in the cosmological perspective, a deity connecting the structured layers of the world. Numerous indications from various written and archaeological sources may be drawn upon in the forming of a comprehensive picture of competences of this deity
