Neo-pagan movements began to form in Slovakia in mainly late 90s of the 20th century. The main cause of new religious movements in our country has been releasing political situation after the ground-breaking 1989. This disruption and the transition to a free democratic society marked influx of new ideas and directions. One of the main elements of a democratic society is freedom of religion. Researched community brings together people who are interested in the restoration of pre-Christian traditions and material and spiritual elements of this period. We classify this community into groups which, although based on historical facts of Slavic culture, but are also supplemented by other particularly modern elements and elements of other cultures. Researched community is trying to protect the natural values and their distribution in modern conditions. This text addresses the transmission, interpretation and application of ideas leading person in the community and integrating it into everyday life members. It focuses on concrete manifestation of inventing of traditions.
