Overview

 

Summary

Kikimora is a female house spirit in Slavic mythology, sometimes said to be married to the Domovoi. Kikimoras are said to be the spirits of unbaptized children or of aborted fetuses. In one legend, all of the kikimoras created by a woman's abortions come when the woman dies and take her soul to hell. The word "kikimora" allegedly derives from a phrase meaning "malicious spirit of Mara. " In some tales, she looks like an average woman with her hair down. More information...

  • Bannik is the bathhouse spirit in Slavic mythology. Bathhouses resembled saunas that had an inner steaming room and an outer changing room. A place where women gave birth and practiced divinations, the bathhouse was strongly endowed with vital forces. The third firing (or fourth, depending on tradition) was the offering to the Bannik, and no Christian images were allowed as it might offend the occupants. Bannik had the ability to predict the future.
  • The Boginki are spirits in Polish mythology. Traditionally, covens of old women would perform sacrifices and rituals for the nymphs of the riverbanks. Boginki were said to steal babies from their human parents that were replaced with Odmience – the Changed Ones. These spirits are said to be the original deities of life and predate the sky gods. They also appear to be forerunners of the Rusalki.
