Almighty Perun created all that the eye of man could see. He was crowned with elemental light, «clothed» with generative heat and «creative» power belted.

Perun sat in space and emptiness, amidst mingling, Chaos and darkness. He began to create, using his gift, and created the world. Soon other gods appeared: Veles, father of future animals, Posvizd and Kupalo, who hid the world ocean in their depths, Niy, father of the earth, mother of birth Lada, and others.

After the appearance of motion, life and existence the young child created by the hand of Perun lifted the edge of the ancient curtain of eternity, and he became a god. People recognized who he was, with none of them ever being able to comprehend, feel or see him.

The universe was filled with wonders that were only creations of Perun. In the space of the sky and the ether, great bodies of light revolve. No one knows what is there or who lives on them. All this is known only to the creator of this world.
