According to the Ynglists, their beliefs represent the original religion of the [[Aryan race]], which was preserved in the purest and most detailed forms by the [[Slavs]] and the [[Iranian peoples|Iranians]], while the [[Indo-Aryan peoples|Indo-Aryans]] who migrated into the [[Indian subcontinent]] mixed with [[Adivasis|native Indians]] and corrupted the original [[historical Vedic religion|Vedic]] doctrines.{{sfnm|1a1=Aitamurto|1y=2007|1loc=passim|2a1=Golovneva|2y=2018|2p=342}} According to the prolific Ynglist writer Aleksey Trekhlebov, one of the closest disciples of Aleksandr Khinevich, the Slavic tradition offers three postulates for knowing truth: word (''slovo''), vision (''vedy'') and experience (''opyt'').{{sfn|Golovneva|2018|p=341}} It is therefore open to a certain degree of personal [[gnosiology]]: in estimating the validity of a given truth a person should listen the opinion of his spiritual teacher, read what the ''Slavo-Aryan Vedas'' say about it, and ponder whether it seems reasonable in the light of his own experience.{{sfn|Aitamurto|2007|loc=passim}}

The scholar [[Victor Schnirelmann|Victor Shnirelman]] observed that the Ynglist doctrine owes much to Slavic, Germanic, Iranian and Indian sources, but integrates gods and concepts from other cultures as well.{{sfn|Shnirelman|2017a|p=97}} For instance, Ynglist beliefs include the idea of [[reincarnation]] matching that of [[Hinduism]], and the idea of a struggle between good and evil forces matching that of [[Zoroastrianism]].{{sfn|Shnirelman|2017a|p=98}} The scholar [[Robert A. Saunders]] described Ynglist doctrine as influenced by late nineteenth and early twentieth-century German [[Ariosophy]].{{sfn|Saunders|2019|p=566}} The Ynglists themselves believe that their doctrine systematises ideas already contained in the original "Russian spiritual culture", and that it would be the way for saving mankind from degeneration.{{sfn|Shnirelman|2017a|p=98}}

===Theology===
[[File:Omskian Ynglist theology.svg|thumb|250px|Scheme of the theology of Omskian Ynglism: ''Ra-M-Kha'' begets ''Ynglia''-''Yngly'', which begets ''Rod'', from which depart the four ramifications of the Slavo-Aryans.]]
Shnirelman described Ynglist theology as [[Western esotericism|esoteric]], and, citing the words of Aleksandr Khinevich himself, as "neither monotheistic nor polytheistic" as were the beliefs of the "early ancestors" — the [[Aryan race]], whom Khinevich calls the "Slavo-Aryans".{{sfn|Shnirelman|2017a|p=97}} Ynglist theology is [[monism|monistic]]: all the deities of nature and the entities that they generate are regarded as the manifestations of the energy emanated by the supreme universal God.{{sfn|Shnirelman|2017a|p=98}} According to Ynglist sources, Ynglist theology and Slavic spirituality in general may be defined as a "rodotheism", that is to say a "worship of the gods of the kins" which links mankind back to the supreme God of the universe, which is the supreme ancestor of the universe itself.<ref name="Derzhavarus-rodotheism">{{cite web|title=Родотеизм – это почитание Рода |trans-title=Rodotheism – the veneration of the Kin |url=http://derzhavarus.ru/rodoteizm-pochitanie-roda.html |website=Derzhava Rus |date=9 March 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170703182508/http://derzhavarus.ru/rodoteizm-pochitanie-roda.html |archive-date=3 July 2017}}</ref>

====The utmost God and its order====
According to Ynglist theology, the ''Ynglia'' (Инглия; Ynglist rune: [[File:Yngly (supreme God's action) rune.svg|frameless|20px]]), called ''Yngly'' when personified (Ингли, Инглъ; cf. the Germanic ''[[Yngvi|Yng, Yngwi]]'', whose Scandinavian [[runes|runic]] consists of square symbols → [[File:Runic letter ingwaz variant2.svg|frameless|20px]], and cf. the Germanic suffix "[[-ing]]", implying the action of generation and production) is the structural order of the universe and of all phenomena, characterised as a fiery radiance emanated by the supreme God,{{sfnm|1a1=Prokopyuk|1y=2017|1p=40|2a1=Golovneva|2y=2018|2p=341}} the "One Indivisible God" (Единый Неделимый Бог, ''Yediny Nedelimy Bog''),{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=78}} named ''Ra-M-Kha'' (Ра-М-Ха; Ynglist runes: [[File:'Ramha' Ynglist runic.svg|frameless|20px]]) in Ynglist terminology.<ref name="Derzhavarus-Ra-M-Kha"/>{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=33}} Ra-M-Kha is [[absolute (philosophy)|absolute]], unknowable, unfathomable, and yet manifests itself as the gods generating all phenomena in accordance with the supreme order, the Ynglia.<ref name="Derzhavarus-Ra-M-Kha"/> The latter is personified as Yngly, the intelligence of God, keeper of the source of the fire of the universe, and model of the earliest progenitor of humanity, ''[[Rod (Slavic religion)|Rod]]''.<ref name="Derzhavarus-Yngly">{{cite web|title=Бог Инглъ |trans-title=God Yngly |url=http://derzhavarus.ru/bog-ingl.html |website=Derzhava Rus |date=25 March 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170626224450/http://derzhavarus.ru/bog-ingl.html |archive-date=26 June 2017}}</ref> Yngly-Ynglia is represented by the ''[[swastika]]'' symbol, which Ynglists call the "image of Yngly" and consider the first written symbol of humanity,<ref name="Derzhavarus-Ynglism">{{cite web|title=Инглиизм – урок 1 |trans-title=Ynglism – lesson 1 |url=http://derzhavarus.ru/ingliizm-urok-1.html |website=Derzhava Rus |date=28 February 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170626225009/http://derzhavarus.ru/ingliizm-urok-1.html |archive-date=26 June 2017}}</ref> as well as the symbol for the "defense of the native land and of the holy faith".{{sfn|Shnirelman|2017b|p=90}}

Apart from the similarity of the names of the Ynglist Ra-M-Kha and the Indian ''[[Brahman]]'', ''[[Brahma]]'', and ''[[Rama]]'', Ra-M-Kha is also identified with the ancient Egyptian concept of ''[[Ra]]'' central to the other Russian Rodnover movement of ''[[Vseyasvetnaya Gramota]]'' (the "Universal Script").{{sfn|Aitamurto|2016|p=41}} Alexey Gaidukov observed that the Ynglist name for the supreme God is also similar to that of ''Ramtha'', the entity allegedly channelled by the American [[New Age]]r [[J. Z. Knight]].{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=75}}

====The gods of nature====

According to the scholar [[Richard Foltz]], the ritual of swords planted in piles of stones or brushwood has [[Scythians|Scythian]] origins, and honoured the martial deity, and even the [[Great Britain|British]] [[Arthurian legend]] of the sword in the stone is an echo of this cult, which was brought to Britain by [[Alans|Alan]] (i.e. "[[Aryan]]" through a consonant shift; the name of [[Sarmatians|Sarmatian]] tribes from the first century onwards{{sfn|Foltz|2019|p=315, note 1}}) regiments settled there by the [[Roman Empire|Romans]] during the first century CE.{{sfn|Foltz|2019|p=319}}{{Dubious|date=October 2023}}]]
In Ynglist theology, below Ra-M-Kha and Yngly, and in the matrix into which the energy of Yngly becomes incarnated — the Earth, also called ''[[Midgard]]'' ("Middle-Realm") by the Ynglists according to Scandinavian terminology —, there are Rod — the archetype of humanity, progenitor of all the ancestors — and the multitude of the gods of nature.<ref name="Derzhavarus-theology">{{cite web|title=Боги наши |trans-title=Our gods |url=http://derzhavarus.ru/bogi |website=Derzhava Rus |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170626194745/http://derzhavarus.ru/bogi |archive-date=26 June 2017}}</ref> These gods are described as immutable, informational personal laws who harmoniously generate the different forms of life in the universe and support them in their course.<ref name="Derzhavarus-theology"/> They are all in accordance with the order (the Ynglia) begotten by the supreme God, but at the same time they may exceptionally intervene in the course of phenomena helping the spiritual evolution of mankind along the right path, if people are motivated by sincere creativity and love.<ref name="Derzhavarus-theology"/> An Ynglist dictum is that "the gods are our fathers, and we are their children".<ref name="Derzhavarus-theology"/> In other words, the gods are the progenitors, ancestors of all entities.{{sfn|Prokopyuk|2017|p=41}}

The Ynglists distinguish four categories of gods: 
# '''"Highest Gods"''' (Вышние Боги, ''Vyshniye Bogi''), those orchestrating the deepest processes of the universe.
# '''"Protector Gods"''' (Боги-Покровители, ''Bogi-Pokroviteli''), those patronising the celestial bodies, the stars and planets, the Earth, the Moon as well as the "Rods", the progenitors of human lineages of the bright Aryan "great race".
# '''"Governor Gods"''' (Боги-Управители, ''Bogi-Upraviteli''), who control various elements, desires, the measured flows of life on Earth.
# '''"Guardian Gods"''' (Боги-Охранители, ''Bogi-Okhraniteli''), who influence various locations on Earth, such as arable lands, forests and the countries of the Aryans.<ref name="Derzhavarus-theology"/>

In the hierarchy of the Highest Gods there are: [[Vishnu|Vyshen]] (Вышень, Slavicised ''Vishnu''), [[Krishna|Kryshen]] (Крышень, Slavicised ''Krishna'') and [[Svarog]] — the [[orbital pole|ecliptic north pole]]; [[Perun]], [[Indra]] and [[Simargl]] — the [[celestial pole|celestial north pole]], ''[[Iriy]]'' or ''Svarga''; [[Dazhbog]] — the Sun; '''[[Chislobog]]''' — the great year or great time; [[Svetovid]] and Ramkhat — the year; [[Dzhiva]] and [[Morana (goddess)|Marena]] — life and death; [[Veles (god)|Veles]] — the patron of the Earth; [[Mokosh]] and [[Lada (mythology)|Lada]] — aspects of the Earth; Rod and Rozhana — male and female progenitors of human kins.<ref name="Derzhavarus-theology"/> In the hierarchy of divinity, gods act in triads, ''[[Triglav (mythology)|Triglav]]''s, of which the main one is Svarog-Perun-Svetovid, representing conscience, freedom and light.{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|pp=74, 99, 134}} On the level of the cycle of the Sun, Yngly manifests itself as the eight gods who govern the eight phases of the year: Kolyada, Veles, Lelya, [[Yarilo]], Kupalo, Perun, Mokosh and Marena.<ref name="Derzhavarus-kologod">{{cite web|title=Кологод — природосообразность |trans-title=Year's wheel – accordance with nature |url=http://derzhavarus.ru/kologod-prirodosoobraznost.html |website=Derzhava Rus |date=6 May 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170701121158/http://derzhavarus.ru/kologod-prirodosoobraznost.html |archive-date=1 July 2017}}</ref>

In their incarnated form, materially functioning as progenitors of genealogical lineages, the gods of the northern polar astral planes, especially of the ''Svarga'', are known as "Ases" (Асов, ''Asov'') and they are believed by the Ynglists to be the forefathers of the four ramifications of the Slavo-Aryans: Da'Aryans (Да'Арийцы), Kh'Aryans (Х'Арийцы), Rassenians (Расены) and Svyatorussians (Святорусы).<ref name="Derzhavarus-heavenly-race">{{cite web|title=Великая Раса – предки славян |trans-title=Great Race – the ancestors of the Slavs |url=https://derzhavarus.ru/rasa-rody-asov-strany-asov.html |website=Derzhava Rus |date=15 July 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210306103608/https://derzhavarus.ru/rasa-rody-asov-strany-asov.html |archive-date=6 March 2021}}</ref>

"Rod-Forefather" (Род-Породитель, ''Rod-Poroditel''; Ynglist runes: [[File:'Rod-Forefather' Ynglist runic.svg|frameless|40px]]; also translatable as "Kin-Progenitor") is the archetype of all the progenitors of the genealogical lineages, and is described as one and the same with Ra-M-Kha, through Yngly.<ref name="Derzhavarus-Rodporoditel">{{cite web|title=Род-Породитель |trans-title=Rod-Forefather |url=http://derzhavarus.ru/rod-poroditel.html |website=Derzhava Rus |date=25 March 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170626220047/http://derzhavarus.ru/rod-poroditel.html |archive-date=26 June 2017}}</ref> He is without image, like Ra-M-Kha, but Ynglists worship him through the symbol of Ra-M-Kha constituted by the three runes of its name.<ref name="Derzhavarus-Rodporoditel"/> The protection of Rod flows through Prav, Yav and Nav, the three worlds of traditional Slavic cosmology.<ref name="Derzhavarus-Rodporoditel"/>

===Cosmology===
[[File:Ynglist cosmology and cycle of incarnation.svg|thumb|upright=1.0|Representation of the four dimensions of Ynglist cosmology and of the cycle of life throughout them.]]

====Prav, Yav, Nav, and Slav====
{{Main|Prav-Yav-Nav}}
According to Ynglist cosmology, reality consists of three dimensions, recognised by common Rodnover cosmology as well: ''Prav'' (Правь, "[[Ṛta|Right]]"), ''Yav'' (Явь, "Manifested") and ''Nav'' (Навь, "Unmanifested").<ref name="Derzhavarus-four-worlds">{{cite web|title=Явь, Навь, Славь, Правь |trans-title=Yav, Nav, Slav, Prav |url=http://derzhavarus.ru/jav-nav-slav-prav.html |website=Derzhava Rus |date=9 December 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170626220720/http://derzhavarus.ru/jav-nav-slav-prav.html |archive-date=26 June 2017}}</ref> The Ynglists, however, distinguish a fourth concept defining a part of Nav, that is to say ''Slav'' (Славь, "Glory").<ref name="Derzhavarus-four-worlds"/> Prav is the transcendental, spiritual dimension of the gods, who follow the right law (the Ynglia) of Ra-M-Kha, Yav is the material dimension in which all entities are incarnated, and Nav is the dimension of the soul/movement, which can be Bright Nav (Светлый Навь, ''Svetly Nav'') or Dark Nav (Темный Навь, ''Temny Nav'').<ref name="Derzhavarus-four-worlds"/> The Bright Nav is otherwise called Slav, and is the orderly northern polar ''Svarga'', the dimension of celestial deities, while the Dark Nav is the unorderly deep-space dimension of demons.<ref name="Derzhavarus-four-worlds"/> In the cosmological scheme, the Bright Nav is above while the Dark Nav is below, and Yav is the boundary in-between the two and may develop according to the models of one or the other Nav.<ref name="Derzhavarus-four-worlds"/> Also, Prav is spiritual, supra-mental, while Nav — consisting in the movements of the celestial asterisms — is merely astral if dark but astral and mental if bright (Slav), and Yav is physical, phenomenical.<ref name="Derzhavarus-four-worlds"/>

====Cycles of life====
According to the Ynglists the soul of the human being is eternal and undergoes a cyclical journey which begins from the dimension of Prav, where it is identified with the radiance of the utmost God, then passing through the other dimensions of Nav, Yav and Slav, where the soul has to acquire knowledge of darkness in order to objectively recognise light, develop itself according to the bright order of Slav, and finally ascend back to Prav.<ref name="Derzhavarus-soul-cycle">{{cite web|title=Душа и круг абсолюта |trans-title=The soul and the cycle of the absolute |url=https://derzhavarus.ru/dusha-krug-absoluta.html |website=Derzhava Rus |date=29 May 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210306105347/https://derzhavarus.ru/dusha-krug-absoluta.html |archive-date=6 March 2021}}</ref> The soul is created out of the infinite light of God in Prav by Dzhiva, the goddess matrix of life; then, from Prav the soul passes to its own "sovereign star" (звезда-владыка, ''zvezda-vladyka'') in the astral dimension of Nav, especially Slav (the Bright Nav); then, from Nav the soul comes as a stream of light to the physical dimension of Yav on some planet, where it incarnates and develops in matter with the aim of ascending to the mental plane of Slav and ultimately having once again access to Prav.<ref name="Derzhavarus-soul-cycle"/> The incarnations are governed by the goddess Karna.<ref name="Derzhavarus-soul-cycle"/>

From the matrix of life in Prav, the soul brings with itself throughout the other dimensions the energy and the information — a "figurative structure" — necessary for the completion of its cycles of incarnation; in the material dimension of Yav, the knowledge brought from Prav joins the specialised Rod of a kin, the progenitor deity of a given genealogical lineage, which provides the soul with a compatible body, context and information inherited from the blood of the ancestors, by means of which the soul may improve itself in its given situation, although the soul always has the free will for acquiring new abilities to improve itself towards Slav.<ref name="Derzhavarus-soul-cycle"/> The purpose of successive incarnations in different worlds of Yav is to discern between bright ways and dark ways, to act as creators in accordance with the bright order of the utmost God, and to favour the sublimation of matter; if the purpose of a given incarnation in Yav is not fulfilled over the course of a lifetime, Karna makes the soul [[reincarnation|reincarnate]] in the same world until the goal has been completed.<ref name="Derzhavarus-soul-cycle"/>

===Historiosophy and eschatology===

[[File:Woman from Belovodye.jpg|thumb|upright=1.0|''Woman from Belovodye'', Lola Lonli, 2000]]
The Ynglists reject official historical narrative, which they believe to be manipulated, and argue that it should be replaced with history as told in their ''Slavo-Aryan Vedas'' or with ''koshchunosloviya'', that is history based on [[Russian folk tales]] (''koshchuny'').{{sfn|Aitamurto|2016|p=105}} They believe that "[[Yngling]]", a name that identifies the earliest royal dynasties of [[Sweden]] and [[Norway]], means "offspring of Yngly", and that the historical Ynglings migrated to Scandinavia from the region of Omsk, which was a spiritual centre of the early [[Aryan]]s.{{sfn|Aitamurto|2016|p=50}} They hold that the ''Saga ob Ynglingakh'', their Russian version of the Scandinavian ''[[Ynglinga saga]]'' (itself composed by [[Snorri Sturluson]] on the basis of an older ''[[Ynglingatal]]''), proves their ideas about the origins of the Ynglings in Omsk, and that the Scandinavian ''[[Edda]]s'' are ultimately a more recent, western European and Latinised version of their own sacred books, the ''Slavo-Aryan Vedas''.{{sfn|Aitamurto|2016|p=50}}

Ynglism presents itself as the true spirituality of the Aryans, a term which means "harmonious men", those who live in accordance with the laws of God and therefore manifest bright physical features and clear thoughts.<ref name="Derzhavarus-Ynglism-summary"/> The Aryans were spiritually influenced by the northern [[celestial pole]] and its [[circumpolar stars]], especially the astral images of the [[Big Dipper]] and Little Dipper, respectively parts of the [[Ursa Major|Great Bear]] and [[Ursa Minor|Little Bear]]; these constellations, spinning around the pole, draw the changing image of Yngly (the ''[[swastika]]'') in the four phases of the day and the year.<ref name="Derzhavarus-Ynglism-summary"/> The Aryans would be the incarnation in Yav of gods of such northern polar astral plane, which is the ''Iriy'' or ''Svarga'' and corresponds to the Bright Nav; these gods are called Ases and the Aryans would be the "heavenly kin" (небесный род, ''nebesny rod'').<ref name="Derzhavarus-heavenly-race"/> The first Aryans dwelt at the geographic [[North Pole]], the [[Arctic]], and because of this they are known in Greek sources as the "[[Hyperborea]]ns", the inhabitants of "Hyperborea" (literally "over the north").<ref name="Derzhavarus-Ynglism-summary"/> Hyperborea was named ''Daarya'' (Даария) by the Aryans in their original language,<ref name="Derzhavarus-heavenly-race"/> and is also known by the Ynglists as "Arctida".{{sfn|Golovneva|2018|p=342}}

After leaving their original homeland ''Daarya'', the Aryans settled in what is today the vast expanse of [[Eurasia]], where the richest occurrences of hooked cross symbolism in historical testimonies have been found, in patterns of architecture, weaponry, and tools of everyday life.<ref name="Derzhavarus-Ynglism-summary"/> The Aryans gave this vast territory the name "Asia" (the land of incarnated gods) or ''Rassenya'' (Рассеня), a term which would have evolved into "Ruthenia" and "Russia".<ref name="Derzhavarus-heavenly-race"/> The Ynglist author Trekhlebov claims that most of the ancient peoples of Eurasia, known by a variety of ethnonyms, were in fact ramifications of the Slavo-Aryans, and that the same term "Russians" and related ones come from the Aryan root ''ros'' meaning "radiance", "light" and "holiness".{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=85}}

The precise area where they established the centre of their civilisation was that which in Russian folklore is known as ''[[Belovodye]]'' (Беловодье; "White Waters"), which the Ynglists locate in [[Siberia]] and identify as the same as the Tibetan concept of ''[[Shambhala]]'', the Scandinavian ''[[Asgard]]'' ("Gods-Realm"), and the land of the [[Rigvedic rivers]]: they identify the rivers as the [[Yenisei River|Yenisei]] and [[Angara River|Angara]], the [[Lena River|Lena]], the [[Irtysh River|Irtysh]] and [[Ob River|Ob]], and the [[Ishim River|Ishim]] and the [[Tobol River|Tobol]].<ref name="Derzhavarus-Belovodye"/> This country was also called ''Pyatirechye'' (Пятиречье), and when the Aryans' domains reached the Ishim and the Tobol it became known as ''Semirechye'' (Семиречье).{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=84}} The Aryans built their architectures according to the pattern of ''[[Alatyr (mythology)|Alatyr]]'' — a Slavic mythological stone or mountain which represents the [[omphalos|world centre]] or the [[axis mundi|world axle]] —, which is the same as the image of Yngly (hooked cross), which endows human consciousness with virtue.<ref name="Derzhavarus-Belovodye"/> [[Omsk]] was the location of the capital "Asgard the Great" or "Asgard of Iriy" of the Aryan spiritual civilisation, and it is the place where the salvation of all humanity begins.{{sfnm|1a1=Yashin|1y=2016|1p=39|2a1=Golovneva|2y=2018|2pp=342–343}} In [[Okunevo, Omsk Oblast|Okunevo]], in the same region of Omsk, was located an important religious centre, where, according to Ynglist beliefs, original Aryan knowledge was preserved even in times of [[Christianisation]] and secretly passed down generation by generation eventually coming to Aleksandr Khinevich himself.{{sfnm|1a1=Golovneva|1y=2018|1pp=342–343|2a1=Shevtsova|2y=2020|2loc=passim, note 8}}

The Ynglist chronological account of history begins either with the end of the [[Last Glacial Period]] (c. 13.000 BCE), with the descent of the gods from the "celestial temple" of Iriy, or with the foundation of "Asgard of Iriy".{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=127}} Ynglism would be the means to regather the Aryans and reconnect them to their progenitors, reawakening their pristine way to perceive the world.<ref name="Derzhavarus-Ynglism-summary"/> Ynglist doctrine proposes an [[apocalypticism|apocalyptic]] [[eschatology]] according to which a "great priest" and a "great priestess" from Omsk will lead the forces of light against the forces of darkness, which will eventually be vanquished and destroyed in the "end of the world"; as told in the ''Book of the Wisdom of Perun'':{{sfn|Yashin|2016|pp=39–40}}

{{blockquote|... he will be reborn again in one circle of years, and this will be the last time of the reign of the forces of darkness, in all parts of Midgard-Earth. The all-crushing fire of retribution of the forces of light will burn the servants of the world of darkness and all the descendants of foreign enemies who filled the human world with soulless emptiness carrying on their banners: lies and vices, laziness and cruelty, desire and lust, fear and self-doubt. And it will be the great end of the world for the foreign enemies who came from the dark world. And the end of the time of darkness will come for all the kins of the great race and the descendants of the heavenly kin.}}

The "Nine Great Warps" (Девять Великих Основ, ''Devyat' Velikikh Osnov'') constitute the ethical code of Ynglism which guides the "weft" of the destiny of the Aryans and their descendants towards perfection.<ref name="Derzhavarus-Ynglism-summary">{{cite web|title=Инглиизм – древняя вера славянских и арийских народов |trans-title=Ynglism – the ancient faith of the Slavic and Aryan peoples |url=http://derzhavarus.ru/ingliizm-vera-slavyan-ariev.html |website=Derzhava Rus |date=24 March 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170627211623/http://derzhavarus.ru/ingliizm-vera-slavyan-ariev.html |archive-date=27 June 2017}}</ref> Similarly to [[Theosophy|Theosophical]] beliefs, Khinevich taught that the different human races have different astral origins.{{sfn|Shnirelman|2017b|p=90}} Only Aryans, that is to say [[white people|white races]], are considered to be the offspring of the gods of the spheres of the ''Svarga'', the Bright Nav, while non-Aryan [[black people|black races]] are considered to be the offspring of deep-space demons of the Dark Nav.<ref name="Derzhavarus-Ynglism-summary"/> The union of whites and blacks is held to produce wicked mixlings, the "gray race", and the [[Abrahamic religions]] and the masses they persuade are believed to be essentially of a gray nature.<ref name="Derzhavarus-Belovodye"/> In some Ynglist writings, the term "grays" does not define black-white mixlings, but the pre-existing deep-space demons themselves who would have penetrated some peoples of the non-white races, including both the black and the [[yellow race]]s.<ref name="Derzhavarus-grays">{{cite web|title=Серые |trans-title=Grays |url=https://derzhavarus.ru/serye.html |website=Derzhava Rus |date=3 August 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210411185447/https://derzhavarus.ru/serye.html |archive-date=11 April 2021}}</ref> In still other writings, the gray race of deep-space demons would try to possess and corrupt all the other races, including the white, the black, the yellow and the [[red race]]s, by hybridising with them.<ref name="Derzhavarus-blood">{{cite web|title=Энергоновая система крови (группы крови) |trans-title=Energetic system of the blood (blood groups) |url=https://derzhavarus.ru/energonovaya-sistema-krovi.html |website=Derzhava Rus |date=25 September 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210304175800/https://derzhavarus.ru/energonovaya-sistema-krovi.html |archive-date=4 March 2021}}</ref>

Aleksandr Khinevich stressed that Ynglism is a religion exclusively for white people.{{sfn|Shnirelman|2017b|p=91}} The gods of the Bright Nav when incarnated in Yav are known as Ases, and they are the progenitors of all the kins of the Aryans and the Slavs, the heavenly kin.<ref name="Derzhavarus-heavenly-race"/> The Slavo-Aryan kins are subdivided into four major lineages: the Aryans are subdivided into the gray-eyed Da'Aryans carriers of [[blood type]] O, and the green-eyed Kh'Aryans carriers of blood type O and rarely A; the Slavs are subdivided into the hazel-eyed Rassenians carriers of blood type A and rarely O, and the blue-eyed Svyatorussians carriers of blood type O or A.<ref name="Derzhavarus-heavenly-race"/> The goal of the Ases is to pass on, generation by generation and through the [[reincarnation]]s, the spiritual wisdom for continuous perfection and recreation whose aim is favouring the return of souls to the Bright Nav and the ascension to Prav.<ref name="Derzhavarus-heavenly-race"/>

The Warps are:
# Dedication, towards the study of holy writings, traditions and ancestral wisdom, and to the worship of the gods.
# Spirituality, that is to say engagement in understanding and developing one's spiritual side.
# Compassion, for all living things created by God.
# Penitence, for upkeeping the harmony of body and spirit which grants peace.
# Tolerance, for the freedom of others which nevertheless may not go against the right laws of God.
# Friendship, towards other human lineages but not towards wicked people who go against the right laws of God.
# Love, towards all living things created by God and reflected among humans as the worship of ancestors.
# Testing, to be gone through in order to develop spiritual virtue.
# Integration, to say the search for and upkeeping of the meaning and purpose that everything has within its own context.<ref name="Derzhavarus-Ynglism-summary"/>{{sfn|Prokopyuk|2017|pp=40–41}}

In addition to the Nine Great Warps, there are thirty-three commandments for each of the nine great celestial deities.<ref name="Derzhavarus-commandments">{{cite web|title=Заповеди богов |trans-title=Commandments of the gods |url=https://derzhavarus.ru/zapovedi-bogov.html |website=Derzhava Rus |date=April 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210304192841/https://derzhavarus.ru/zapovedi-bogov.html |archive-date=4 March 2021}}</ref>

====Family and politics====
The Ynglist Church is concerned with the health of the Russians, and other Slavic peoples, and of the family as any folk's fundamental unit, and its values are exceptionally [[conservatism|conservative]].{{sfnm|1a1=Aitamurto|1y=2016|1pp=88–89|2a1=Golovneva|2y=2018|2p=343}} They emphasise that men are innately disposed towards "public" life and spiritual quest, while women fulfill themselves in the "private" life of the family at home and in the function of reproduction.{{sfn|Aitamurto|2016|p=86}} Kaarina Aitamurto described the church as strongly [[patriarchy|patriarchal]]; the social model that Ynglism proposes is the traditional hierarchy of the family, headed by male elders.{{sfn|Aitamurto|2008|p=4}} The ''veche'' (assembly) of the church itself is conceived as the gathering of these elders, the fathers.{{sfn|Aitamurto|2008|p=4}} According to Ynglist beliefs, women are "so tied to their natural task of reproduction" that they may not reach the same intellectual and spiritual achievements of men, who are naturally more prone to the abstract thinking that is needed for political assignments.{{sfn|Aitamurto|2008|p=4}}

Ynglism is critical of modern Western [[liberal democracy]], and espouses instead an ideal of democracy that is more similar to ancient [[Greek democracy]].{{sfn|Aitamurto|2008|p=5}} According to the Ynglists, universal suffrage leads to unwise decisions and ultimately to the disruption of society, because the majority of people are not wise.{{sfn|Aitamurto|2008|p=5}} In their view, modern liberal democracies are dictatorships of the "biggest minorities", whereas ancient Slavic ''veche'' and ''mir'' were based on "consensual decision-making".{{sfn|Aitamurto|2008|p=5}} The Ynglists propose the traditional Russian principle of ''[[samoderzhavie]]'', a word they interpret as "people ruling themselves", claimed to be the highest "true will of the people" which comes to be incarnated and exercised by a wise ruler.{{sfn|Aitamurto|2008|p=5}}

====Education and "beneficial offspring"====
According to the Ynglist Church, the demographic decline of contemporary Russia has to be studied as a crisis of the psycho-physical heritage transmitted by Russian parents to their children, and of the environment where these children grow up.{{sfn|Aitamurto|2016|p=88}} Within the Ynglist Church, the "purity of the kin (''rod'') and the blood" is considered a divine command: [[miscegenation]] and [[incest]], as well as "perverted" sexuality without reproductive ends and the consumption of alcohol and drugs, are forbidden as unhealthy threats of "modern confusion" imported from the "degenerated" West.{{sfnm|1a1=Aitamurto|1y=2016|1pp=86, 88–89|2a1=Golovneva|2y=2018|2p=343}} Miscegenation, the production of gray mixlings from the union of white and black races, would cause "spiritual and intellectual decline".{{sfn|Shnirelman|2017b|p=90}} As a solution, Ynglists emphasise the theme of "creating beneficial descendants" (созидание благодетельного потомства, ''sozidanye blagodetel'nogo potomstva''), and encourage the creation of large families of up to sixteen children, considered the number of an ideal "full circle of offspring".{{sfn|Aitamurto|2016|pp=88–89}}

In a broader metaphysical discourse, all forces of globalisation coming from the West are perceived as alien models that infiltrate and spoil the spirit and language of Slavic culture.{{sfn|Aitamurto|2016|p=99}} An excerpt from the ''Slavo-Aryan Vedas'' declaims:{{sfn|Aitamurto|2016|p=99}}

{{blockquote|It is not appropriate for Slavs and Aryans to venerate alien idols, to pour water into an alien watermill, to give one's psychic energy to an alien egregor! There is no point for Russians to destroy their own Slavic and Aryan culture with their own hands by adopting an alien pseudo-culture! Our ancestors warn us from the distant past: "... we ourselves are the grandchildren of Dazhdbog and have not aspired to sneak in the footsteps of foreigners".}}

Ynglist doctrines emphasise a "healthy way of life", which includes eating natural and pure food, being responsible and sober, but also ideas based on theories of human biology and genetics which are "far from academic perceptions".{{sfn|Golovneva|2018|p=343}} For instance, the Ynglists firmly condemn sex out of wedlock, as they believe that it, as all other "unnatural" ways of life, shortens the lifespan, and they espouse the theory of [[telegony (pregnancy)|telegony]], that is to say the idea that a woman is genetically shaped by the men with whom she has sexual intercourse, and her offspring would inherit genetic characteristics of all her bedmates.{{sfnm|1a1=Prokopyuk|1y=2017|1pp=40–41|2a1=Golovneva|2y=2018|2p=343}} They also believe that giving birth makes a woman three years younger, if other aspects of her life are correct.{{sfn|Aitamurto|2016|p=181}} Regarding telegony, Aleksandr Khinevich taught:{{sfn|Golovneva|2018|p=343}}

{{blockquote|... the first lover of a woman gives her the form of the Spirit and Blood of his ''Rod'' and therefore, even if the woman gets later married to another man, her children will genetically be of her first lover. Furthermore, people are designed to live for centuries, but because of the unhealthy and unnatural way of life they nowadays tend to die prematurely. Every extramarital intercourse shortens man's life in three years.}}
