mythology meme: creatures (4/4) — rusalka
a female spirit in slavic mythology and folklore. the rusalka is not invariably malevolent, and would be allowed to die in peace if her death is avenged.
Theodor Kittelsen - Water Spirit, 1904
“Who else do I have, other than you, knower of the water’s secret?”
With eager hand she waves and beckons, Nods quickly, smiling from afar.
the decemberists: rusalka, rusalka / wild rushes
and you are my wild-eyed rusalka, my river bride/ drag me down, take me away
thank you, ancestors, for passing down detailed and cautious instructions on how not to get seduced and stolen away by mischievous female spirits, which I have lovingly transformed into How To Find Me a Wife Real Quick manual
Ivan Naduev (Russian, 1893–1965). Rusalka, 1910.
multiple myths and folk tales: there are beautiful women in the water. but watch out! they're actually scary monsters!
