Thanks.
You are offspring of Rujani, Serby, Lutici or some other Slavic tribe ?

WOW fantastic
Your grandma is from island Rügen ?

I have so many questions

I don't think so actually... but about the language, my mother (who's my grandmother's daughter-in-law) told me my grandmother could "schnäckseln" very good. That's a sort of dialect spoken on Rügen. But all I know from Father Swiatowit (or which spelling you prefer) I know from books, not from her.

Slava!

Well, I consider myself part Slavic but do not speak any Slavic language yet. I gonna learn Polish and Sorbian (Serbšćina), more specific Lower Sorbian (dolnoserbski) (=Slavic language spoken by a minority in eastern Germany).

But do I have Slavic blood? Do I have German blood? Do I have to have Slavic blood to honour Swiatowit or is it enough to be born in the region where he once was venerated? I don't know but I just do it.

Slava!

Good luck with new languages! I would also love to learn Sorbian(Lusatian Serbian) because I am Serb(Balkan Serb). 

Well if you consider yourself Slavic, and you have some Slavic ancestors I don't see why you couldn't celebrate Slavic gods and goddess.

Slava!

True, I worry to much about this issue.

Good luck with Lusatian Serbian!

Here in eastern and northern germany, many people still speak slavic languages for example in the Lusatia (Łužica) they speak sorbian (serbšćina).
Example: Below every street name in the Lusatia stands the sorbian alternative.

Also several people I know from my region know of their slavic heritage.

I know about Sorbs(Serby, Serbja, Lužički Srbi), I am Serb(Srbi). We share same name.

But I'm asking about other Slavic tribes from area of present-day Germany like Obotrites(Bodrići), Lutici(Ljutići), Rujani or Pomeranians(Pomorani).

As far as I know the sorbs are the only people still speaking their native language in germany. The languages of the other tribes (Slovincian, Polabian language, Pomeranian language) are mostly dead. Only Kashubian / Cassubian is still spoken particularly around Gdańsk in Poland.

I'm sure the languages could be revived if more people here would care about their native languages.

I always wanted to learn polabian cause it's the language of my ancestors and it sounds pretty interesting to speak. The only language that is still taught in a course is sorbian, so I think I will learn it. (if I see dictionary or language course somewhere near me ) Don't know if it's more complicated then czech though. My Grandfather (on my mother's side) was Czech and because of that I speak some czech, not very good but could be worse.

I think Polabian could be resurrected, it was spoken until the mid-18th century, i guess there are some German-Polabian dictionaries.

And Pomeranian is alive through Kashubian.

Good luck with learning Sorbian !

Probably.
But I gave picture name Buyan, from East Slavic tales. So I wanted to make it look more East Slavic, like in old Russian chronicles. That is why idols are outside.
