Slavic Native Faith in Poland

History
See also: Slavic Native Faith § History

In 1818, the Polish folklorist and Slavophile Zorian Dołęga-Chodakowski (pseudonym of Adam Czarnocki; 1784–1825) stated that Poland "must return to [the] native faith". According to that, he's recognised as precursor of the Slavic Native Faith in Poland.[2] Another precursor in Poland was Jan Sas Zubrzycki (1860–1935), who elaborated the doctrine of "God-Knowing" (Bogoznawstwo).[3]

In the interwar period, a few movements emerged in Poland, recognized as early Polish Slavic Native Faith followers: the Święte Koło Czcicieli Światowida ("Holy Circle of Worshippers of Svetovid"; 1921) of Władysław Kołodziej (1897–1978), Demiurg (1934), and Zadrugism (1937) of Jan Stachniuk (1905–1963).[4] Another example is the pilot and army officer Zdzisław Harlender (1898–1939), who advocated Polish Native Faith in his book Czciciele Dadźbóg Swarożyca ("Worshipers of Dadźbóg Swarożyc", 1937).[5]

Rodnover organisations in Poland

The major organisation of Rodnovery in Poland is the Rodnover Confederation.

There are five formally registered religious organisations:

gollark: People are somewhat apiological sometimes and say "oh, but it's good because it balances out power in rural areas".
gollark: Well, Event 128-κ is probably *not* going to be repeated.
gollark: I heard they have very insecure voting machines.
gollark: The solution is simple: go to Russia, and hack into the US electoral system.
gollark: Probably copied from the UK constituency system.
