Triglav is a Slavic God, revered in Wolin and Szczecin by the tribe Pomeranians. Triglav has three heads, because it administers three realms: Heaven, Earth and Underworld

The biographer Herbord states that one of the Stettin sanctuary, the main one, was built with special art and mastery, with carvings of people, birds, on the outside and inside. Into this sanctuary according to an ancient ancestral custom, a portion of the captured booty and weapons of enemies. In this hall stood a three-headed idol, having on one trunk three heads, called Triglav.

It is also dedicated to Triglav a black horse with a richly decorated saddle. He was being looked after by the son-in-law of one of the of the temples, and by means of which divination was performed, as Herbord describes.

With the cult of Triglav is perhaps related to a folk tradition documented in the 19th century. that one can see a beautiful black horse on Midsummer's Night grazing in the moonlight, which disappears when someone approaches.
