    THE LEGEND OF LIKHO

    In the dark pine woods, where the sun but faintly glimmered through the oak leaves, evil in its purest form once lurked. Know then the dreadful Slavic likho, the ancient demon of misfortune, of whom we shall speak to thee this day.

    Dost thou ever ponder wherefore we say: "Likho taketh not the wicked"? Behold this lean, one-eyed beast, that most gladly waylaid wanderers at the crossroads. Listen how this demon of misfortune stood in the path of the young smith Sambor, shrouding his bright future in a dense fog. The youth, full of dread for his workshop and his love for a fair maiden, resolved to challenge the monster.

    Discover the stratagem the wise peasant employed, leading the phantom unto his forge. How came it to pass that a cracked anvil saved his soul? This tale shall show thee that even ancient creatures may be outsmarted, when a man feareth not loss and knoweth how to let that which is long broken go up in smoke. How the beast turned the iron to rust, fleeing back into the thicket itself.

    00:00 Of the evil demon, which they called Likho
    00:43 How the withered, one-eyed monster lived
    01:37 Of the ruinous lying in wait at empty crossroads
    02:24 How the smith Sambor looked misfortune in the eyes
    03:10 Of the cracked anvil and the cunning challenge of the peasant
    04:06 How the accursed Likho turned iron to dust
    05:06 Of bidding farewell to the blight and the departure of the beast

    THE LEGEND OF DOZHINKI

    The scent of mown grain drifteth across the fields, and the great toil draweth to a close. Thus the true harvest festival beginneth, which our ancient forebears called Dozhinki, Wyzhinki, Okrezhne, or Obrzynki. Come with us into the very midst of great autumnal joy, where ancient rites and Slavic traditions are quickened anew.

    Learn wherefore a tuft of unreaped ears was ever left in the very midst of the field. 'Twas there the Polevik took refuge. A mighty guardian spirit, whom it was in no wise wise for the peasants to provoke. Know the secret of the final sheaf, which guarded the power of future harvests through the fierce winter, safely hidden within the barn. Behold from what herbs and grains the clever women wove the colorful harvest wreath, making of it a gift for the bountiful earth.


    The Slavic Dozhinki were a time of great unity. Without divisions betwixt the rich and the poor, when all together shared the fragrant kolach of the new grain. Listen how, amidst boisterous songs, drums, and fire, the olden circle of life was brought to a close, bestowing hope for survival until the spring. This is a tale that breatheth faith in the magic of nature and shieldeth ancient beliefs from oblivion.

    00:00 Of the ancient harvest festival, which they called wyzhinki
    00:33 How the sun set, and the final sheaf was reaped
    01:21 Of the tuft of ears for the Polevik

    03:17 Of giving thanks unto the gods and the gift for the eldest
    03:58 Of the great kolach and the boisterous feast
    04:57 How the olden circle closeth in the guardians of the harvest

    THE LEGEND OF SIGRID THE HAUGHTY

    Thus doth the ancient history of the Slavs entwine with the tempestuous fates of the Kings of the North. 'Tis a tale of Sigrid, the haughty daughter of Duke Mieszko, who loved freedom above all else. The proud princess, ere she became wife and mother of kings, did spurn the wooing of greedy men, treating them to cruel fire. By the name of Sigrid Storråda, that is, the Haughty, did they then proclaim her.

    This woman did hold fidelity to her forebears higher than foreign crowns and gold. When the King of the Norwegians, Olaf, durst raise his hand against Piast blood and struck her across the face, he knew not at all that this blow would swiftly return unto him as a doomful wave.

    Sigrid did strike a wise alliance with the Danish ruler Sven, that in a great sea battle she might send her foe unto the murky depths. Yet this tale is not merely of bloody vengeance, but a teaching of cool reason. For the princess did bring peace unto distant lands, made the laws as one, and gave bread unto orphans. For what is justice, when it heedeth not mercy? Listen well to this, that whoso turneth wrath into prudence, doth bring great peace for generations to come.

    00:00 Of the daughter of Piast and the mother of kings
    00:41 How she did burn her suitors with fire in the hall
    01:22 Of Olaf's blow and the unyielding faith of her forebears
    01:41 Of the alliance with Sven and the birth of kings
    02:27 How the sea waves took vengeance for the blow
    03:17 Of her wise rule and care for the folk
    03:42 Of prudent words ere her passing

    THE LEGEND OF THE OWL MOUNTAINS

    There came once dark days, when a dense fog, full of unearthly wrath, hung over the valleys. The evil Fog Serpent crawled through the woods to blot out the mighty peaks and destroy human memory. We bring thee today a tale of why the Owl Mountains bear this very name.

    Learn the fate of the seven royal daughters, who loved the wild crags above all else. When terror knocked upon their gates, they feared not at all. To save the realm, the brave maidens forsook their human form. Their arms transformed into mighty wings, and their eyes shone with a nocturnal radiance.

    Each of the sisters straightway stood to a different battle. One defended the hard ridges, another the swift springs, whilst the youngest struck at the very dark heart of the beast, to shatter it like ice. This legend of the Owl Mountains is proof that the greatest strength slumbereth in true sacrifice. Hear how the heroic flight drove away the ruinous mist and saved the wanderers, whence the mighty peak of the Great Owl took its name, and when one may catch sight of a lone, white owl here.

    THE LEGEND OF THE KLOBUK

    A stern winter had bound the river Pisa in hard ice, and within the cottage of the old raftsman, the wind did but howl through the empty corners. The hardy fellow of Masuria had naught to put into his pot. Suddenly, a klobuk crept across the threshold. A beast as black as pitch, with eyes burning like coals! Listen well of this, why one ought make no pacts with a klobuk.

    At first, that demon shall bear thalers and full bowls of victuals into the cottage. Thou shalt wallow in riches, stolen by night from the neighboring yeomen. Yet the wondrous silver shall swiftly lose its luster, and the klobuk shall make a very hell of thy life.

    If thou dost fall into his pitiless snares, to survive and save thy soul, thou must employ a ruse. Even as the cunning fellow of Masuria, who knew how to banish the foul power from his homestead. Yet shall cunning, a scattered handful of salt, and the rushing current of the river suffice to outwit this evil? Listen well to the ancient teaching, that plain reason is more precious than stolen gold.

    00:55 How the stern winter did lay waste to the livestock

    THE LEGEND OF SVETOVIT

    A tale we recount this day, of how the desires of mortal men did tear a mighty god asunder unto the four corners of the world. When four folk at the selfsame hour did beg for deliverance, when sword, horn, and white steed did tremble in the dark, the primeval Slavic heavens were cleft in twain! Hearken how the mighty god Svetovit was born anew from human suffering.

    The mighty god Svetovit did once gaze upon the world with but a single visage. Unfathomable power he wielded, yet even the gods cannot answer every mortal cry. Once upon a time, four clans came unto the temple. Warriors from the north demanded bloody might, whilst elders from the south begged for blissful peace. Tillers from the east prayed for a bountiful harvest, whilst soothsayers from the west sought a clear omen in the wake of fires. A single gaze could not encompass so many opposing paths.

    Hearken unto the tale that the storyteller Małgorzata doth recount this day. Know ye what difference doth part the idol of Zbruch, called Światowid, from the primeval lord of the heavens. Uncover the mystery of how the four faces came to be: War, Harvest, Prophecy, and Destiny. Feel the wisdom of the forebears' faiths, that thou mightest grasp which of the faces doth hold our entire world in check unto this very day.

    00:00 Of the idol of Światowid and the god Svetovit
    00:51 How four folk came unto the temple
    01:47 Of the omen of the steed, sword, and carven horn
    02:41 When the god's visage split unto the four winds
    03:02 Of the faces of War, Harvest, and the Soothsayer
    04:09 How the face of Destiny came to be
    04:50 Of peace and the desires of mortal men

    THE LEGEND OF THE LAMIA

    Learn ye the secret of the White River and the demonic creature with the body of a serpent and a woman. Old folk in the Bulgarian Pirin Mountains say that ere the first human paths were trodden there, a strange and wondrous heavy river flowed in the valley. The mysterious, ancient Lamia dwelt there. Above, she resembled a maiden, but from the waist down her body was covered in dire, scaly coils.

    The Lamias, demons known unto the South Slavs, seldom sought strife with man. Yet this lady of the White River possessed a wondrous, magnetic power. Whosoever halted but once by her stream lost his heart for daily toil and could no longer dwell among human kind. Peasants returned from the forest depths utterly changed, sunk in silence or seeing things hidden from the sight of others.

    Hearken, then, unto the Storyteller Małgorzata and know why the terrified villagers gathered at dawn and marched to the waters, bearing sharp iron and destructive fire. How they sought to drive the lady of the waters from her ancient domain. Understanding not that the eternal order of the world cannot be broken so easily.

    THE LEGEND OF DYDKO

    Whence came the household sprites? From a single scamp they descend. In ages past, when settlements stood closer to the dense forest than to reason, there lived a most nimble lad. He had two eyes sharp as coals, and a smile that ever heralded dire mischief.

    Ancient Slavic mythology hides within it not only dark monsters, but likewise beings who cared for human merriment. Ofttimes, the hiding of wares and the tying of shoes into a great knot is the finest sport. Hearken, then, how a great market was turned into very pandemonium, how threads found their way into pots, and eggs joined with the fishes.

    This mirthful tale is wondrously spun by the peerless Storyteller Małgorzata. She minds us that the ancient beliefs of the Slavs bear an extraordinary lesson. For in every dwelling, a touch of unpredictability is needed. And nevermore shalt thou marvel, when thy cup doth suddenly change its place.

    00:00 Of the nimble lad, whom they called Dydko
    01:20 How he changed salt for sugar in the tavern
    02:07 Of old Bożymir and the scattered millet
