#Polewiki #Pokewiki Pixies that have dwarf bodies, stout limbs and big beards. Their eyes are of different colour and their beards and hair are made of grass. They never dress in any colours and wear white and black. The Polewiki are also field spirits that make sure people are working hard and appear at noon or at dusk. If they spot anyone sleeping, slacking off or drinking at work they will become angered and may even kill the worker. They steal the horses of those who have fallen asleep and cause travellers to lose their sense of direction and become lost. They can be appeased by two eggs, a toad, a cockerel and a crow that must be placed unseen in a ditch.

Polewiki

In Polish mythology, Polewiki are field spirits who have the appearance of dwarves with different coloured eyes and grass instead of hair. They are usually seen at noon or at dusk, for they are vigilant to ensure that everyone is working hard, tending the fields. They are dressed in white or black, with no colours about their person. They have the reputation of leading people astray, making them lose their sense of direction, and they are given to ride over sleeping people with their horses. If anyone drinks while at work and falls asleep in the fields, the Polewiki are incensed by such laziness and may even kill the sleeper. The proper propitiatory gifts to Polewiki are two eggs, a cockerel, a toad, and a crow placed unseen in a ditch.
