Ten sam Daćbóg w Arkonie nazywał się Świętowitem, był przecież dawcą urodzajów, któremu na cześć obchodzono najwalniejsze Święto doroczne po żniwach, niby bohacz białoruski, czczony tej samej porze.

1985, Aleksander Brückner, edited by Stanisław Urbańczyk, Mitologia słowiańska i polska, Warszawa: Państwowe Wydawnictwo Naukowe, →ISBN, page 122:

The same Dazhbog in Arkona was called Svetovit, after all, he was the giver of crops, in whose honor the most glorious annual festival was celebrated after the harvest, like the Belorussian bogach, worshipped at the same time.

Poza nim plasują się bóstwa lokalne, z których część, jak Świętowit, może zostać utożsamiona z interesami państwowymi i awansować na głównego boga.

2003, Religia Słowian, Religia Słowian, Kraków: Wydawnictwo WAM, →ISBN, page 240:

Besides him there are local deities, some of which, such as Svetovit, can be identified with state interests and promoted to the main god.

Wedle wiary Rugian walczył Świętowit, bo tak się bałwan nazywał, na tym koniu przeciw wrogom swej czci, a dowodziło tego, że koń, acz na noc zamknięty w swej stajni, rano nieraz tak zziajany, a ubłocony wyglądał, jakby w powrocie z wyprawy bardzo znaczną przebiegał drogę

2006, Aleksander Gieysztor, Mitologia Słowian, Warszawa: Wydawnictwa Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego, →ISBN, page 123:

According to the belief of the Rugians, Svetovit, for that was the idol's name, fought on this horse against the enemies of his reverence, and this was proved by the fact that the horse, although confined to his stable for the night, in the morning sometimes looked so breathless and muddy, as if he had run a very considerable distance on his return from an expedition.

(Slavic mythology) Svetovit (Polabian god of war and fertility)

deadland

After the feverish days over deadland trails, — The repose of the gray-veiled and quiet-eyed twilight, The shimmering haze of the blue mountain valley, And the tranquil blue deep of the pool

1920, Lew Sarett, Many Many Moons: A Book of Wilderness Poems, page 46:

To return to the deadland of desolation and desert, to choke in its dust, to be lashed in the face with its wind, to feel a loneliness of time and space, a loneliness of emptiness, […]

1964, Michael Yatron, The Lunatic, the Lover, and the Poet: A Novel, page 51:

He runs out of gas, and back on the ground meets up with a girl who is motoring through the deadland to meet her boss in Phoenix for some obscure technocratic purpose.

Within that deadland lies Kurash Qwellinir, the Shattered Hills.

1981, Stephen R. Donaldson, The power that preserves, →ISBN, page 390:

These must be the real deadlands. Here, there is no new growth to camouflage what the wars have done.

2005, Ellen Dee Davidson, Stolen Voices, →ISBN, page 99:

Wasteland; a desert or other place that does not support life.

Does the hideous famine that gnaws the entrails with fiery fangs and burns up the wrenched and tortured tissues till the land sickens with its burden of deadland dying—does that show His pity?

1905, Frederick C Vernon-Harcourt, From Stage to Cross: The Record of a Rolling Stone, page 236:

A band of iron fastens around his neck, a long chain drags him to the ground, pulling him away from his people to the deadland of the south — to the land of strangers, unknown and terrifying.

Nations that imprison, torture, assassinate, or drive their writers into exile fall into the deadlands of their own darkness.

2011, Ben Okri, A Time For New Dreams, →ISBN:

I could not find out whether the victims are intoxicated before execution : it is highly probable, as the African's, and especially the Yoruban's, object is to send these messengers to deadland in the best of tempers.

1866, Leone Levi, Annals of British Legislation: Digest of blue books - Volume 2, page 222:

A conquering race would scarcely credit that its heroes would, after death, betake themselves to the deadland of the beaten and enslaved aborigines.

1946, Lewis Spence, British Fairy Origins, page 77:

“Do not do it,” said the god, “You cannot escape Ungit by going to the deadlands, for she is there also."

They feared lest passing souls, which had just quitted the bodies of dying people, should enter their huts and carry off the souls of the inmates to deadland.

1990, Sir James George Frazer, The Golden Bough: Taboo and the perils of the soul, page 70:

[…] the unseen world of the spirits and ancestors. […] as messengers bearing questions to the "deadland" of royal ancestors.

2000, Francesca Piqué, Leslie H. Rainer, Palace Sculptures of Abomey: History Told on Walls, page 12:

The afterlife, especially in belief systems that do not include reward or punishment such as heaven and hell.

Danu

Learned borrowing from Old Irish, from a reconstructed nominative form of the genitive Danann (also spelled Donand or Danand).
In particular, Danann is attested in the term Tuatha Dé Danann, which is typically translated "tribe of Danu" but used as the collective name for certain Irish gods (or, more prosaically, the people of a particular wave of immigration to Ireland, in the traditional history).
The etymology is controversial and has been debated since the 19th century. Some scholars identify Danu with the goddess Anu, perhaps as a contraction of día Anu ("goddess Anu").

This [battle] appears in Celtic history as that in which the Tuatha dè Danann, the tribes of the goddess Danu fought and conquered the Fir Bolg on Midsummer's Day.

1897, The Westminster Review, Volume 148: July-December 1897, page 17:

The old poets thought that the tribes of the goddess Danu were of a perfect beauty, and the creators of beautiful people and beautiful arts.

1897, W. B. Yeats, “The Tribes of Danu”, in The New Review, Volume 17: July-December 1897, William Heinemann, page 550:

1987, Peter Alderson Smith, W. B. Yeats and the Tribes of Danu: Three Views of Ireland's Fairies, C. Smythe, page 52,
She may be the same as Danu, or she may be the same as the Morrigu.

(Irish mythology) A hypothesised goddess of Irish mythology.
