Slavic Native Faith in Poland

Slavic Native Faith in Poland (Rodnovery; Polish: Rodzimowierstwo) has in 2007, according to Scott Simpson, between 2000 and 2500 "actively engaged and regular participants".

[2] In 1818, the Polish folklorist and Slavophile Zorian Dołęga-Chodakowski (pseudonym of Adam Czarnocki; 1784–1825) stated that Poland "must return to [the] native faith".

[4] In the interwar period, a few movements emerged in Poland, recognized as early Polish Slavic Native Faith followers: the Święte Koło Czcicieli Światowida ("Holy Circle of Worshippers of Svetovid"; 1921) of Władysław Kołodziej (1897–1978), Demiurg (1934), and Zadrugism (1937) of Jan Stachniuk (1905–1963).

[9] He suggested that there were under 900 regularly active members of the main four registered Polish Native Faith organisations,[10] and around as many adherents belonging to smaller, unregistered groups.

[11] Kosnik and Hornowska observed that despite being young, Polish Rodnovers were spiritually mature and had joined the religion as it satisfied deep personal needs.
