Description Today bereginya Vasilisa went to catch mavka
In Slavic mythology, there were a lot of evil spirits, or evil spirits, not always evil, according to beliefs, these spirits even helped people, in houses they were brownies, yard, ovinniki. In the forests, fields, swamps and rivers lived goblins, mermaids, mermaids, midday. I want to tell you about the evil spirit, which the Slavs called "mavka". Mavka or nav was the closest relative of the mermaid. It was believed that unbaptized children who died in infancy, killed by their own parents, or those children who were abducted by evil spirits became Mavks. They lived literally everywhere: in fields, forests, swamps and lakes. They were often represented as small children in long shirts who asked for help, or as younger maidens with long loose hair. The main sign of mavka was that they had no skin on their backs, and you could see their insides.
Like the mermaids, navi lured men with an attractive appearance and killed them. However, the Mavks also did not disdain small dirty tricks, they could lead into a swamp or lead astray, try to tickle to death. Protection from them was an ordinary comb, which Mavki could ask to comb her hair. After combing them, they disappeared without a trace.
