We’re not going to be talking about the little mermaid in this episode. This one is all about the Rusalky - the ancient water spirits of Slavic lore and legend. Some say that the Rusalky are evil or treacherous spirits, haunting ponds and rivers, simply waiting for a hapless person to come by so that they can pull them down to a watery doom. But is that the real story? Of course not! In this episode I’ll be teaching you about these ancient pagan water spirits, their connection to abundance magic, their special spring and summer holidays, and ways that you can honor and even encounter these magical and enticing water creatures.
