Dazhbog

            Dazhbog is the god of sunlight, heat, the ripening time of crops, fertility in general (his name is translated as “the god of heat”). Slavs called him “the Sun-tsar, Svarog’s son”, his symbols were gold and silver.

Russian people considered Dazhbog as their defender, naming themselves as his grandsons. Dazhbog — the Sun-tsar — was spoken about as the first governor, the founder of the calendar counting of days, the legislator.

Dazhbog was represented flying in the chariot, in which the griffins — dogs with the bird's wings, companions of gods of fertility were harnessed. In the hands of the god there were ritual warders with the image of fern leaves.
