Myths of the Komi. From Parma and Heavenly Hunting to the Forest Witch Yoma and the Underground Monster
How did the gods Yen and Omӧl create the universe and enter into the eternal struggle between good and... evil? In which places is it forbidden to whistle, so as not to awaken malevolent spirits? And where does the mythical Chud hide — the ancient people who have gone underground?
From this book, you will learn why the dead were fed through the window, how the "unsettled dead" returned for the living, and why ancestors' spirits were invited to weddings. Imagine a world where the forest speaks, rivers hold ancient curses, and in homes live not only people but also household spirits. All of this is the world of Komi mythology.
