Talk:Chernobog and Belobog

message: I know that even though the etymology doesn't quite fit, however, I'd like to give it a try. Is it in any way possible that Crnobog(even though knowledge about him is meager, and there is a possibility that he may not even have been an actual god, and may just have been an error simple misinformation or fakelore akin to the Germanic Eoster) is related to either the Celtic Cernunnos or the Greek Cronus? And may have been misinterpreted by Christian writers, akin to how Pan and Cernunnos was identified with Satan? He sounds atleast in some way similar to the Latvian Ceroklis, or at least Cernunnos does.
Though I realize that there is a possibility that, if a god akin to Cernunnos or Pan even existed in Slavic mythology, that accounts of him may be lost forever. But, as of now, except for the Leszi, do we know of any important woodland spirit or shepherd god or good of the wild at all? Satanael 21:05, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Crnobog vs. Chernobog vs. Czernobog 

message: Can this phrase perhaps mean simply 'in spite of God?' i.e. a variation of the phrase of 'na zlo?' I have actually seen American translators embarass themselves by translating this idiom literally as 'to be wicked' rather then 'in spite of' on several occasions. Your thoughts?

replies: text: No-one is really aware of the literal meaning of these words anymore; exclamations such as Ovo je do zla boga dosadno!, To je do zla boga glupo! can be safely translated as "This is devilishly boring!", "That is immensely stupid!" without any actual loss in meaning. This translation is however losing actual meaning, because in Slavic language there are common curses used in the middle of the sentence. To je do zla boga glupo! can be translated as "Damn! This is stupid!"
The two sentences contradict each other. Also, in the last sentence, a better translation may be "This is damned stupid", and it respects the order of the words in the original sentence. -Pgan002 (talk) 04:32, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Contradiction 

message: I marked the popular culture section with the trivia template a few days ago, and on closer inspection, don't really see how to wrap most, if any, of the existing trivia items--most of which are to video game appearances, with a couple as appearances in literature--into the article itself in any meaningful way.  I hate to say, "scrap the section," but I just don't see what they bring to the article.

message: Hi all,
the following two sentences seem to me to be the work of a vandal, aside being not entirely correct:
"A very old diety thanks to the fact that the slavic where one of the oldest in europe!A simple correction the slavic tribes where at the terrytorys of modern Bulgaria and the surrounding countrys!"
Therefore I will delete it. 195.81.3.249 (talk) 09:35, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vandalism? 

message: The first sentence now begins
: Chernobog (also spelled Crnobog, Czernobóg, Černobog, Црнобог or Zernebog from the Russian Чернобог ...)
Of course these spellings are not all from Russian! Perhaps it could be written something like
: Chernobog (Russian), Czernobóg (Polish), ...
