History / What was the culture of Poland prior to the advent of Catholicism? [17]

Thanks

You have given me much to begin with. The fact that there was no written tradition prior to the onset of Christianity explains the dearth of information. I have only scanned the info you suggested so I hope to find what caused Poland to differentiate itself from the rest of the Slavs? The book I will look up in the Library. I will post after I read some.

I am second generation born in USA, Polish ancestry both sides. As an artist I want to explore the ancients beliefs of my lineage and incorporate them in my art.

I am open to anything so thanks again for the help.

History / What was the culture of Poland prior to the advent of Catholicism? [17]

Reading these posts have been very informative and helpful in understanding my Polish ancestry. The following has come to mind.
Where can I find information regarding Polish culture prior to the advent of Catholicism?
Ireland has Saint patrick who drove out the snakes. This is widely claimed to mark the beginning of Catholicism there. What was Poland's? What kind of culture existed there? What were the myths? The heros? The dominant ethos?
