Crnobog "Black God", is the god of bad fate worshipped by the Polabian Slavs. The German monk and chronicler Helmold, who accompanied the Christianization missions against the Elbe Slavs, describes in his Chronicle of the Slavs the cult of Crnobog: Also, the Slavs have a strange delusion. At their feasts and carousals, they pass about a bowl over which they utter words, I should not say of consecration but of execration, in the name of [two] gods—of the good one, as well as of the bad one—professing that all propitious fortune is arranged by the good god, adverse, by the bad god. Hence, also, in their language they call the bad god Crnobog, that is, the black god. All kinds of rituals in the glory of Crnobog are recorded in history, most of them featuring women. The ceremonies took place at night under the light of torches or big bonfires. Women danced until they fell into trance, holding snakes as offerings to Crnobog. In Slav tradition a sacrificial goblet was drank from at feasts, both in the name of good and evil goods because they believed that every kind of luck must come from good gods and that every kind of misfortune comes from evil gods. Even though Crnobog is sometimes equated with the devil it is clear that he is not just some evil demon or demigod but a full-fledged blood god of all Slavs, the greatest god of the underworld and of all evils that can take infinite number of forms.
Darkness is characterized by the absence of visible light. The emotional response of humans to darkness has led to many culturally different metaphorical usages. For example, in Christianity the first narrative of creation begins with darkness. Darkness is said to have existed before the world, then light was introduced. Death is perceived as the ultimate form of darkness, there has not been a single culture in the history of humankind that has not spent a significant amount of time thinking about death and darkness. It should be no surprise, therefore, that we attribute the mysterious processes of death and darkness to supernatural forces. Consequently, we have envisioned beings that usher souls from the mortal coil into the afterlife. These perceptions of darkness and death are largely associated with evil. However, this has not always been the case. In the past, darkness and death were seen as a part of natural order, something that had existed since the beginning of time.
