The scholar Anna-Marie Dostálová documented in 2013 that the entire Pagan community in Czechia, including Slavic Rodnovers as well as other Pagan religions, was small. The first Pagan groups to emerge in Czechia in the 1990s were oriented towards Germanic Heathenry and Celtic Druidry, while modern Slavic Rodnovery began to develop around 1995–1996 with the foundation of two groups, the National Front of the Castists and "Radhoŝť", which in 2000 were merged to form the Commonwealth of Native Faith ("Společenství Rodná Víra"). This organisation was a government-recognised entity until 2010, when it was unregistered and became an informal association due to disagreements between the Castists and other subgroups about whether Slavic religion was a hierarchically structured worship (supported by the Castists), Mother Goddess-centered worship, or neither.
