History
In 1818, the Polish folklorist and Slavophile Zorian Dołęga-Chodakowski (pseudonym of Adam Czarnocki) stated that Poland "must return to [the] native faith". According to that, he's recognized as precursor of Rodnovery in Poland.[2]
In the middle-war period, in Poland emerged few movements recognized as early Polish Rodnovery: Święte Koło Czcicieli Światowida (the Holy Circle of Worshippers of Worldseeker; 1921), Demiurg (1934), Zadruga (1937).[3]
