Today I learned that in fifteenth century Polish dudes would sometimes pretend to be werewolves in a scam to get some free meat.

They’d attach wolf tails to their backsides, walk around the village howling and occasionally bite a random cow so that folks would donate meat to them to ensure they don’t „lose control” and attack somebody.

I just thought you guys might wanna know.

Laudna, Witch of the Woods

Here is a crispy autumnal piece I just had to paint when I thought of the paralells between Laudna and certain Slavic folklore elements.

traditional cross-dressing on ukrainian malanka holiday. the woman is dressed as vasyl (folk adaptation of st. basil) and the man is dressed as malanka (folk adaptation of st. melania).

during this holiday, ukrainians honor the ancestral spirits and imitate them by dressing as animals and opposite genders, since it is believed that the otherworld blurs the line between male and female, as well as between man and beast.
