Światowit, Zofia Stryjeńska

Światowit, is the Slavic deity of war, fertility and abundance. He always carries his sword (sometimes bow) in one hand, and in the other a drinking horn. Światowit had a white horse which was kept in his temple and taken care of by priests. It was believed Światowit rode this horse in battle. The horse was used for divination. Victory in battle, merchant travels and a successful harvest all depended on Światowit.
