Description

The Veles Temple, located in a deep forest near Samara, is a place of cult worship associated with ancient Slavic beliefs. In a small clearing surrounded by dense vegetation, there are idols, pagan symbols and even cow skulls. This place is known as the temple of Veles, the deity, patron of knowledge, medicine, creativity and sorcery in Slavic mythology.

The history of the temple goes back to ancient times, but it became especially popular in the seventies and eighties of the last century. Many people came here to worship the ancient gods and participate in rituals held in the clearing. Perhaps this place was used for religious rituals by followers of paganism.

According to legend, the temple of Veles was the location of the old estate of boyar Koptev in the 19th century. Since then, this place has been considered sacred and attracts people with its mysterious atmosphere.

Today, the temple continues to attract curious people, and sometimes the sound of drums and incomprehensible screams are heard. This place is protected by a person who takes on the role of a custodian, who monitors the order and safety of the cultural heritage.

Paganism, the belief in ancient gods and the forces of nature, continues to live in this corner of the forest, leaving behind mysterious stories and legends.
