Svetovid
Svetovid, Svantovit〔(''A History of Pagan Europe'' ) by Prudence Jones and Nigel Pennick. Retrieved 10 Jan 2014.〕〔(''The Oxford Companion to World Mythology'' ) by David Leeming. Retrieved 10 Jan 2014.〕〔(''New Larousse encyclopedia of mythology'' ) by Félix Guirand and Robert Graves, Hamlyn, 1968. Retrieved 10 Jan 2014.〕 or Sventovit〔(''American, African, and Old European Mythologies'' ) edited by Yves Bonnefoy. Retrieved 10 Jan 2014.〕 is a Slavic deity of war, fertility and abundance primarily venerated on the island of Rügen into the 12th century. He is often considered a local Rugian variant of the pan-Slavic god Perun.
Sometimes referred to as Beli (or Byali) Vid (''Beli'' = white, bright, shining), Svetovid is often depicted with a sword or bow in one hand and a drinking horn in the other. Other important symbols included the white horse, which were kept in his temple and used in divination.
==Appearance==
Svetovid is associated with war and divination and depicted as a four-headed god with two heads looking forward and two back. A statue portraying the god shows him with four heads, each one looking in a separate direction, a symbolical representation of the four directions of the compass, and also perhaps the four seasons of the year. Each face had a specific colour. The northern face of this totem was white (hence White Russia / Belarus and the White Sea), the western, red (hence Red Ruthenia), the southern, black (hence the Black Sea) and the eastern, green (hence Zeleny klyn).〔Ukrainian Soviet Encyclopedic dictionary, Kyiv, 1987.〕
