I dissagree with what is stated in 'Slavic Pagan Beliefs' external link, as it includs Albanians to Slavic people, which is absolutely not ture! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.116.156.52 (talk • contribs) 21 March 2008

Page move

I moved page Šiwa to Živa (goddess), because:

8 Slavic wikipedias lists it as Živa or Жива (bs, cs, hr, ru, sk, sl, sh, sr)
two — as Siwa or Сива (pl, bg)
and noone — as Šiwa

All information is based on some fake. There isn't a character like Sibog, and Ziva wasn't goddess of love. I study Slavic mthology, so I know this. Some facts: - Gelmold mention Siva as goddess honoured by Polabs (west Slavic tribe) - Yan Dlugosh, describing Polish gods, writes: Zywye - Vita (life in Latin) - In Saxon Chronic by Boto, there is a picture and a description: Unde de assdodine de heyt de hodde de hende ouer ruggen. In der eynen hant hadde se eynen guelden appel. Unde in der anderivi hant hadde se ein wyn druuelen mil еу?? gronen blade un oere hare hangede oer went in de waden (There she is depicted as a naked woman with an apple and grapes in hands) - In Mater Verorum: "Ceres, fruges, frumentum, vel dea frumenti: siua". "Dea frumenti, Ceres: Sius" - In one medieval chronic it is stated that her bird symbol is a cuckoo. (In Slavic folklore, one can predict by cuckoo's voice how long he/she will live and how good the harvest will be, also a cuckoo symbolyzes spring.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aranelya (talk • contribs) 17:50, 8 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
