Long before a belief on various pagan deities, prehistoric people began to respect for nature. Along with the cult of water, fire, lightning in the sky and bright sun, and developed the cult of the tree. Sometimes people believed to be in the tops of trees are the seat of the powerful gods of the Slavs, many trees were dedicated to various gods, such as: oak to Perun, ash to Svetovid, linden to goddess Vida, birch to a god of harvest Potrimba. When the breeze swayed their branches and leaves rustle, it was believed that this happens by the will of a deity.
