Álvarez-Pedrosa Núñez, Juan Antonio2023-06-202023-06-2020121581-128Xhttps://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/42585The purpose of the present paper is to analyze the fertility rites attested in the Medieval sources about the Western Slavic Pre-Christian Religion in order to make an assessment of such texts. It allows us to elaborate a hierarchy: the more reliable text belongs to Saxo Grammaticus and narrates the festival made every autumn in the temple of Arkona; in second term we place the fragment of Thietmar of Merseburg relating to the obtaining of auguries about the harvest by the sacred lake of Glomuzi; finally we can read a text of Ebbo about a yearly feast at the beginning of summer in the city of Wollin, inspired by the biblical story of the Golden Calf.engjournal articlehttp://sms.zrc-sazu.si/pdf/15/SMS-2012-09_alvarez.pdfhttp://sms.zrc-sazu.si/open access930.85(=16)Fertility RitesReconstruction of Slavic Pre-Christian religionWestern SlavsSaxo GrammaticusSventovit of ArkonaThietmar of MerseburgSt. Otto of BambergReligiones no cristianas5506.21 Historia de las Religiones
