ENT_SLAV_ROD Rod   Slavic ancestral deity Creator Deity ancestry; birth; fate; clan; divine judgment       B           Ancestral and birth deity; attested in Old Slavic ecclesiastical prohibitions (Slovo ob idolakh, 9th-10th c.: "do not offer bread and cheese to Rod and the Rozhanitsy") and other Church admonishments. Rod is the divine ancestor and birth-fate deity, paired with the Rozhanitsy (birth goddesses). His name from Proto-Slavic *rodъ (clan, birth, kin) which is central to Slavic social organisation. Boris Rybakov proposed Rod as the supreme Slavic deity predating the Olympian-style Kiev Pantheon; most scholars consider this speculative, but Rod's function as a fate-dispensing deity at birth is secure. Brückner (1918) pp. 160-170. deity
