In 1824 the Danish poet Bernhard Severin Ingemann (1789–1862) published his thesis on North-Slavic and Wendish mythology in which he established the following pantheon:

First line of gods (good): Triglau (Bog), Swantewit, Radegast, Prove, Sieba, Siebog, Schwayxtix, Zislbog, Podaga, Rugiwit, Karewit, Juthrbog, Dziewonna, Woda (Odin), and Balduri (Balder).

The second line of gods (evil): Zernebog (Pya), Percunust, Flins, Zirnitra (Zir), Berstuk, Marowit (House God), and Hela (Hel).

Living close to Scandinavia, the Wends adopted a few gods from Norse mythology but these Teutonic gods never played a central role in the Wendish mythology.
