Rozhanitsy, narecnitsy, and sudzhenitsy are invisible spirits or deities of fate in the pre-Christian religion of the Slavs. They are related to pregnancy, motherhood, marriage[1] and female ancestors,[2] and are often referenced together with Rod.[3][4][2] They are usually mentioned as three together, but sometimes up to 9 together, of whom one was a "queen" or singular.[2] They are related to Dola, but it is not known on what terms. In Poland they were worshipped as zorze (auroras).[5]
