Svarog and the Mother of Sawa give birth to the god Perun. He is born after the Mother of Sva - Lada - eats the Pike, in which Rod was incarnated. At the birth of God thunder rumbles, the earth tottering, the mountains crumble.
People say: Perun Stratilat is rich with thunder. Then thunders rumbled in the sky, Then they lit up in the clouds of lightning - And came to light, like lightning, Son of Svarog, Perun the Thunderer! "The Veda of Perun"
Perun in the understanding of the Slavs became the main god of the pantheon, personifying the military power and patron of the soldiers, knights and princes. He was subject to the elements of nature and some areas of people's lives. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Vyshnya-Perun birth celebration was celebrated by the Slavs during the summer solstice.
Perun is, above all, the god of thunder and thunder. In the spring thunderstorm, the ancient man saw a life-giving source, the renewal of nature, hence the paramount role of Perun. Perun was armed with a club, ax and bow, with which he launched his lightning bolts to the ground.
Perun is also often associated with a cult of water, wood and stone. He is considered the ancestor of the heavenly fire, which, coming down to the earth, gives life. With the onset of spring heat, it impregnates the earth with rains and removes the clear sun from behind the clouds. Through his efforts, the world is every time born again. According to some legends, Perun's lightning was of two kinds: lilac-blue, "dead", smashing to death, and gold - "living", creating and awakening the earth's fertility.
