Polevik, Legendary Creature
Bildnummer 12631334
| Polevik in Polish mythology are field spirits that appear as a deformed dwarfs with different colored eyes and grass instead of hair. They appear either at noon or sunset and wear either all black or all white suits. According to local beliefs they lead wandering people in a field astray, give them diseases or ride them over with their horses if they are found asleep. If a person falls asleep on the job after drinking, the Poleviki might murder them. Appeasing the Polevik requires two eggs, a rooster, a toad, and a crow placed in a ditch when no one is looking. Ivan Yakovlevich Bilibin (August 16, 1876 - February 7, 1942) was a Russian illustrator and stage designer who was inspired by Slavic folklore. He gained renown in 1899, when he released his illustrations of Russian fairy tales. He died in 1942 during the Siege of Leningrad at the age of 65. | |
