✦ Personality Traits
✦ About
Svarog is the Slavic god of the celestial fire, the sky, and smithcraft. His name relates to words meaning "bright" and "heaven," and he was considered the father of the sun god Dazhbog (or Dažbog) and the fire god Svarozhich.
As the divine smith, Svarog forged the sun and placed it in the sky. He gave humanity the knowledge of metallurgy, teaching them to forge plows for agriculture and weapons for defense. Civilization itself was his gift to the Slavic peoples.
Some sources suggest Svarog was the supreme god before Perun rose to prominence. He represents the creative, civilizing aspect of divinity—the fire that doesn't just destroy but transforms, the heat that forges tools from raw ore.
✦ Famous Story
Svarog forged the sun and threw it across the sky, giving light and warmth to the world. Then he descended to earth and taught humanity to use fire for forging—turning them from animals into people who could shape their own destiny.
