Dziewona

Dziewona or Devana (Cyrillic: Девана; _pl. Dziewanna) is the Slavic equivalent of the Roman goddess Diana, whose name is said to appear very late in Slavic history. However, all her names that derive from Slavic translate to "The Maiden". She is more widespread in Slavic countries, whereas in other cultures she is a minor deity. In Polish mythology, she is the virgin goddess who is a huntress in the forest (in some legends, said to run through the Carpathians and in others with a pack of dogs) and is associated with the Moon, spring, agriculture and weather.
