The original, most ancient faceless goddesses of Slavonic mythology. They created the Sun, the Earth and the whole world. Shaking out the coverlet (prime chaos essence is guessed) they parted the Sky and the Earth, and in the center the piece of energy arose, which turned into the Sun.
Afterwards two First women in childbirth transformed into Rod (the creator of the world and life), who crumbled into the variety of different gods of ancient pagan Slavic pantheon.
The dynamic of Slavonic mythology development reminds
a lot the mythology history of some Indian tribes.
