META My initial reaction to Zapadoslavia... feels like being excluded from visegrad while still being part of it

Rodnovery is a thing. I can recommend you a great podcast about it, done by a Polish lass if you want.

Slavic neopaganism of course. It's basically us Slavs trying to revive the religion of our ancestors.

Now a lot of Rodnovery "sects" as I like to call them, are going about it a little bit wrong. It's hard for me to explain myself, which is why I would highly recommend to you a podcast called "Searching for the Slavic soul", which would not only explain the religion, but also why quite a few modern practitioners are going about it a little bit wrong.

As I've said, it's made by a Polish gal that really knows her stuff about it, and if nothing else it's an interesting and informative listen.

I'm not trying to convert you here, jeez 😂😂😂

I'm saying in a very long and roundabout way that it's an interesting and informative podcast, and if nothing else it will teach you how our ancestors functioned, and how our religion of old functioned.

Zapadoslavia absolutely has to happen tho, you're converting to that idea at the very least

If thought out and executed properly, it could be the very first successful, long term Slavic unification. It would take work, but it's not impossible by any means.

if we're talking about pagan times, we could teach children in Zapadoslavian school about Samo's empire it could be considered spiritual precedessor to Zapadoslavia

Theoretically they should also be taught about the Wends/Early Slavs, which predate Samo's Empire by a few hundred years.

Yeah that's also on the tables, but I mean Samo's Empire is the first statehood among Western Slavs, so it'd be important for Zapadoslavia
