The central holy writings of the Ynglist movement are the ''Slavo-Aryan Vedas'' (Славяно-Арийские Веды, ''Slavyano-Ariyskiye Vedy''), purportedly ancient texts allegedly passed down generation by generation in Western Siberia, whose most ancient parts would be tens of thousands of years old.{{sfnm|1a1=Aitamurto|1y=2007|1loc=passim|2a1=Aitamurto|2y=2016|2p=50}} They were allegedly originally written on ''santy'' (сантии, сантьи, саньтии), tablets made of [[noble metals]], which would now be kept in a secret location by the high priests of Ynglism and would contain texts composed of 186,000 "[[pre-Christian Slavic writing|Slavic Aryan runes]]", first transliterated into [[Cyrillic script]] and printed on paper in 1944.{{sfn|Prokopyuk|2017|p=32}} Four hundred [[Dacians|Dacian]] golden copies of the original Siberian tablets are claimed to have been discovered in 1875 at the [[Sinaia Monastery]] in the [[Bucegi Mountains]], [[Romania]], and handed over to the king [[Carol I of Romania]], of the [[Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen]] family, who ordered to recopy them in lead before melting most of the golden ones to replenish the royal treasury; known as the "Dacian Santies", they would be preserved in various private vaults and museums of Romania.<ref name="Derzhavarus-Dacian-santies">{{cite web|title=Саньтии Даков |trans-title=Dacian Santies |url=https://derzhavarus.ru/santii-dakov.html |website=Derzhava Rus |date=22 April 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200220151732/https://derzhavarus.ru/santii-dakov.html |archive-date=20 February 2020}}</ref> The ''Vedas'' were effectively published by Aleksandr Khinevich since the mid 1990s, and were preceded in 1992 by the book ''Ynglism, Short Course'' in which Khinevich put forward the core of his doctrine.{{sfn|Shnirelman|2017b|p=90}} The Ynglists claim that the Scandinavian ''[[Edda]]s'' are a western European Latinised version of their ancient ''Vedas''.{{sfn|Aitamurto|2016|p=50}}

The first Veda comprises the ''Book of the Wisdom of Perun'' (Сантии Веды Перуна, ''Santy Vedy Peruna''; also translated as Книга Мудрости Перуна, ''Kniga Mudrosti Peruna'') and the ''Saga ob Inglingakh'', a Russian version of the [[Old Norse]] ''[[Ynglinga saga]]''.<ref name="Slavo-Aryan Vedas">List of the ''Slavo-Aryan Vedas'' as it appeared on their [https://web.archive.org/web/20170627212200/http://slavyanskievedy.ru/ official Russian website as of 27 June 2017].</ref> The second Veda comprises the ''Book of Light'' (Книга Света, ''Kniga Sveta'') and the first part of the ''Word of Wisdom of the Wise Velimudra'' (Слово Мудрости Волхва Велимудра, ''Slovo Mudrosti Volkhva Velimudra'').<ref name="Slavo-Aryan Vedas"/> The third Veda comprises the ''Ynglism, the Ancient Faith of Slavic and Aryan Folks'' (Инглиiзмъ, Древняя Вера Славянскихъ и Арiйскихъ Народовъ; ''Ingliizm, Drevnyaya Vera Slavyanskikh i Ariyskikh Narodov'') and the second part of the ''Word of Wisdom''.<ref name="Slavo-Aryan Vedas"/> The fourth and last Veda of Ynglism contains the ''Source of Life'' (Источник Жизни, ''Istochnik Zhizni'') and the ''White Way'' (Белый Путь, ''Bely Put'').<ref name="Slavo-Aryan Vedas"/> A fifth book, though not part of the canonical Vedas, is ''Slavic Worldview, Confirmation of the Book of Light'' (Славянское Мiропонiмание, Подтверждение Книги Света; ''Slavyanskoye Miroponimaniye, Podtverzhdeniye Knigi Sveta'').<ref name="Slavo-Aryan Vedas"/> After they were published by Khinevich, the Ynglist ''Vedas'' were sold in many thousands of copies.{{sfnm|1a1=Aitamurto|1y=2016|1p=63|2a1=Golovneva|2y=2018|2p=342}} According to Golovneva, such popularity of the books proves that they are "far from being marginal", as they represent "the basis for a certain kind of popular knowledge of ancient history".{{sfn|Golovneva|2018|p=342}}

Besides their ''Vedas'', the Ynglists also rely upon the ''[[Book of Veles]]'',{{sfn|Golovneva|2018|p=342}} and also upon various [[Gnosticism|Gnostic]] scriptures, including the ''[[Secret Gospel of John]]'' and the ''New Testament of the Holy Apostle Thomas'' discovered in 1945.{{sfn|Shnirelman|2017a|p=98}} Apart from Aleksandr Khinevich, another important Russian author of Ynglist literature is Aleksey V. Trekhlebov (''[[volkhv]]'' Vedagor), one of the earliest and closest disciples of the former.{{sfnm|1a1=Prokopyuk|1y=2017|1p=41|2a1=Golovneva|2y=2018|2p=341}} Trekhlebov came from the study of [[Indian religions]], and he is a [[yogi]];{{sfnm|1a1=Aitamurto|1y=2016|1p=51|2a1=Prokopyuk|2y=2017|2p=41}} he claimed to have received initiation in [[Nepal]] from a high [[lama]], who advised him to seek the truth in his own native traditions.{{sfn|Aitamurto|2016|p=51}} He has dedicated his life to the "spiritual and moral education of the Slavs, the spiritual revival of the Russians towards mental health and enlightenment"; for this purpose, he has written various Ynglist books, including ''The Blasphemers of Finist the Bright Falcon'' (Кощуны Финиста Ясного Сокола, ''Koshchuny Finista Yasnogo Sokola'').{{sfn|Prokopyuk|2017|p=41}} In [[Ukraine]], a notable spreader of Ynglist ideas was Volodymyr Kurovskyi, who contributed to the making of the documentary ''Igra Bogov'' ("Play of Gods").{{sfn|Aitamurto|2016|p=51}}
