Komi Myths. From Parma and the Celestial Hunt to the Forest Witch Yoma and the Underground Chud
19.99 €
How did the gods En and Omöl create the universe and engage in the eternal struggle between good and evil? Where should you not whistle, lest you awaken evil spirits? And where do the mythical Chud—an ancient people who retreated underground—hide?

In this book, you'll learn why the dead were fed through windows, how the "restless dead" returned for the living, and why ancestral spirits were invited to weddings. Imagine a world where the forest speaks, rivers hold ancient curses, and houses are inhabited not only by people but also by spirit hosts. All this is the world of Komi mythology.
