dvoeverie

[Josh Wilson]

Linda J. Ivanits, Russian Folk Belief. (New York: M.E. Sharpe, Inc., 1992)

Ivanits gives a very good definition of dvoeverie on page 4, and then gives
a recounting of Russian mythology (and the actual myths) with an eye toward
how the Christian beliefs were overlaid with the pagan. 

Very well written and highly recommended!
