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"/>
