The battle between Perun and Veles is not good verses evil, but merely the oppositional forces of Order (Perun) and Chaos (Veles).

I was looking at the cult of wisdom tarot and I got a bad vibe from the veles card - I don't like the sign on the card as it has always attacked me -- I have heard of Perun being compared to Thor who I am more comfortable with --
if the battle was between Order and chaos I would definitely take the side of Order - I have heard also of perun being compared to jesus and veles being compared to satan
I would never side with satan or chaos -- as I have said I feel more comfortable with Thor
I wanted to get the cult of wisdom tarot and remove the veles card from the deck
you can go to etsy.com and search slavic gods and you will find all of their statues
