Slavic Folklore

Slavic lore of Central, Eastern & Southeastern Europe -- history, language, art, mythology -- born in PL, living in the US -- there is a ton of diversity among Slavic people -- the Slavic identity is not centered on a violent and oppressive state

A Demon of Noontime

A Poludnytsia is a spirit in Slavic folk belief, the embodiment of noon heat and heatstroke. In order to avoid her attacks, it was seen as best practice to avoid field work at the height of day.

I was so tired,to be honest, but the current weather conditions oblige to follow through with this suggestion. Hopefully the Lady is appeased and shall be merciful to us all, phew.

A fiery summer morning in Šilo! 🔥🌅

As the sun breaks strongly above the mainland, our faithful boats in the harbor gently rock on the golden path, welcoming another hot day on the Adriatic. Pure morning energy.

Спаса-Ефрасінеўскі манастыр у Полоцку, месца дзе знаходзіцца скарб беларусаў - крыж Ефрасінні Полацкай.

На маю думку месца стала не вельмі прывабным, таму што наплыў неверагоднай колькасці турыстаў з суседніх краін, стварыла ўмовы што месца стала падобна на атракцыён. Вакол манастыра шмат крам, гатэлей і гэтак далей...
