Likho (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Likho, liho is an embodiment of evil fate and misfortune in Slavic mythology, a creature with one eye, often depicted as an old, skinny woman in black or as an evil male goblin of forests. Rather than being included in the major canon of the Slavic belief system, the Likho is traditionally found in skazky, or tales of fantasy and adventure equivalent to Western fairy tales. Within the framework of superstitions, Likho was supposed to come and eat a person. In particular, this was used to scare small children.
