God Dažbog, Dabog or Dazhbog is definitely God Azazel. In Slavic Pantheon, He is the solar God, as you know.
If you look closely, He is described as son of Svarog, who was associated as blacksmith god by ancient Greeks. If you do math, you get a clear picture.
I only know that here in southern Slav culture, Dažbog was highly worshiper as Sun god, and was Patron God of Sun cult along side with Mithra who was pre-Slavic Illyrian God of Sun, and was also associated with all blacksmiths. This, clearly only proves that Azazel is Dažbog, that is, the God who is metal worker (Chakra Master), and we all know that Azazel is known as Sun/Solar god in many cultures.
.. and about Morana, I don't really know. For sure, She is highly important Goddess, but I haven't figured out who She is. Based on research, Goddesses Morana and Vesna are highly important together, as they represent cycles of life and death. I think however that goddess Vesna is Goddess Furfur. I got confirmed by my GD, that Lilith is Mokoš, Dažbog is God Azazel, as well as Lada being Ishtar. I have some thoughts about Morana myself, but all of this are just my opinions, and I would like to hear your opinion about all this too.
To get back at Perun/Vales topic, yes, Perun can definitely be associated with many Gods; Satan, Enlil, Indra/Zeus ... but Satan (at least for me) is in some aspects obviously Perun. Lightning of Perun is definitely some aspect of enlightenment, given by Satan in form of Kundalini, but very easily I can be wrong, because Enlil fits much better if we get in touch with Sumerian Enki/Enlil mythology, which again, is on spiritual basis, not literal one, as you know. So, I'm having doubts with this.
All our spirituality, and the very knowledge of our Gods, is in a great mess thanks to the cursed jews, but I'm sure we'll get it back very soon.
Apologies for the late response, life was doing life things as it is prone to doing.
Nevertheless, Dažbog being Azazel sounds perfectly correct, and for the longest while that was where my hunch was leading me. Things like Dažbog showing up in some form in most if not all Slavic pantheons, thus highlighting his importance, his connection to the Sun and metalworking, having a sort of hero-figure role in mythology, it all seemed to point to Azazel even if I couldn't explain why some things at the time made me think of him. Lada being Ishtar/Astarte was another one that I was leaning towards given her mother goddess role and association with beauty and fertility. I hadn't gotten to Mokoš much, but seeing her association with women's rights and protecting women in childbirth, the connection is plain.
Morana/Marzanna is certainly the one who sticks out amongst the Gods and Goddesses listed here, in terms of vagueness in details that would allow for making a connection supported with evidence. I'm having a few thoughts here:
It's not unheard of for two or more deities to represent one actual God/Goddess in the same mythology. I don't know if Czarnobog and Bialobog have actual counterparts amongst our Satanic Gods, but I've read here and there from people who theorize that they may be aspects of one deity, who is represented by their duality.
Going by our good friend Wikipedia, we may potentially see a similar thing with Lada: "Lada and Lado together form one aspect of a multiple deity, whose other names and aspects relate to the Sun, water, and grain, respectively." So here Lada and her masculine counterpart, Lado, together form one aspect of the same deity. Wikipedia goes on to compare this to Dionysus (wonder who that might be, hm), and mentions other pairs that make up this deity, including Jarilo/Jarila. I can't say much about Jarilo's female counterpart of Jarila, but Jarilo
is described as being the son of Perun and twin brother of Marzanna. Both have that life-death-rebirth cycle going on, and in the mythology they are wedded with the celebration taking place on the Summer Solstice. It is seen as a very harmonious, prosperity-ensuring event that unifies even the conflicting Veles and Perun. The symbolism of the Magnum Opus seems quite apparent with this tale.
In trying to tie said story to the identity of an actual Goddess, this leads me to hypothesize, although this feels a bit like a stretch,
that Marzanna could be another identity, another aspect, of Ishtar altogether. We see that the "death" of Marzanna occurs at the end of winter, thus bringing winter to its actual end and sparking her rebirth - just in time for the Spring Equinox, which Ishtar has a connection to and also happens to be a date where Marzanna-related activities are celebrated in Slavic countries to this day. As Wikipedia puts it, "In Slavic rites the death of the Goddess Marzanna at the end winter, becomes the rebirth of Spring of the Goddess Kostroma (Russian),
Lada, Vesna representing the coming of Spring." Of course, Vesna is also mentioned here, so we must take into account her association with this as well, but interestingly Kostroma is also mentioned as being a part, along with male counterpart Kostromo, of that one, singular entity that Lada and Jarilo also make up.
