Hundreds of years ago, Slavic peoples lived in scattered villages far from the light and warmth of the big cities. In that time, myths, traditions and folk tales were passed down from generation to generation.
The Slavs believed that mysterious creatures inhabited the forests, mountains, field and lakes around them. As centuries went by, enchanting fairytales were born, creating a still-living mythology full of magical tales.
This is one of them.
The Laughing Prince
Jugoslav Folk and Fairy Tales
Notes: Contains 14 folktales of the Slavic people. As the author of this book states in the preface, these folk and fairy tales do not relate only to the people inhabiting the lands of ex-Yugoslavia, but rather to all Slavic people (Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, the Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and the Ukraine).

So who are the Fates and why do they get all the credit? The fates choose our lives before we’re born. Our first breath, our first cry, our first steps... they are inescapable. What do the Fates look like?

S02E07 Forest Creatures of Croatia
Mythoslavic
03/01/22 • 17 min
The forest is mysterious, yet enchanting. For thousands of years, ancient civilizations have looked upon the evergreen woodlands as a magical place for healing, foraging, and revere as sacred ground.
Throughout our history, since ancient times, it has been a magical place that awakens the imagination and hides the world of amazing, magical beings. Nature has always been an ally of men, satisfying our different needs.
Starting from spiritual ones such as peace, tranquility and silence to material ones such as firewood, food source, tools and weapon materials, or simply – shelter.
Myths and superstitions of the ancient Slavs represented nature in a different way from that of the modern world in which we live. Today, the forest still hides an amazing world in which plants, animals, trees and numerous mystical creatures continue to play an essential role, which, at least in Slavic oral traditions, have been especially important and influential since ancient times evoking both fear and respect.
We are the last ones who can still remember these times. We spread the knowledge acquired over hundreds of years, developing skills and being a link between the past and present. Once upon a time, the world of forests was no less mysterious than that of the oceans, thick and impenetrable, as stories of strange encounters made their way around the campfire.
This is one of these stories. A story about magical creatures of Croatia’s forests and fields.

We all know thousands of stories about most famous bloodsucking creature there is, a vampire. Pop culture embraced them in its fullness, folktales enriched them, music, art, books and even cartoons took them to a completely new level, making them maybe even less scary than they ought to be and certainly so much more romantic. It is a creature known to people from ancient times and cultures and to so many different parts of the world, but what if I told you two Slavic countries claim the first vampire ever?

It is essential you spit three times when a black cat crosses your path so you can undo the action of the evil forces or to stay at home at Friday 13th so you don't get hurt or die. That kind of beliefs are rooted so deep into our culture, it's almost like we are connected with our ancestors with some kind of hive mind.
But what if we stop for a moment and really wonder where it all started from and why are we doing these things? How are these things helping us to stay safe?
Stay with me and discover the superstitions of the ancient Slavs, their origin and where it all began.
