In the Ukraine the word is upior, and in Byelorussia it is upar. In all of these regions, the undead vampire was sometimes said to be a corpse possessed by the devil. The means of destroying the Eastern Slavic vampire include driving a wooden stake through the exhumed corpse's heart or some other critical part of the body, decapitation, and cremation. But in some districts the corpse of a suspected vampire was dumped into a lake or a river. In northern and central European Russia and some other parts of the general region, eretich (literally meaning "heretic") came to be a special term for a vampire, applied to anyone who became an undead vampire as the result of dying outside the Christian Orthodox Faith. But it applied most especially to evil sorcerers and witches who returned from graves after dying and who had sold their souls to the devil while they were still alive. In an account from one district in central European Russia, the eretiches were women who had sold their souls to the devil. After their death, they passed as living women and specialized in turning living Orthodox Christians against their faith. At night they slept in graveyards, occupying the graves of those who died unfaithful.

Sacred Texts Sagas and Legends Celtic Index ... Next DWARFS OR TROLLS HIST. ALEX. MAG. Suedice Within the hills folk did won, Women and men, dwarfs many a one. THE more usual appellation of the Dwarfs is Troll or Trold, [a] word originally significant of any evil spirit, [b] giant monster, magician [c] or evil person; but now in a good measure divested of its ill senses, for the Trolls are not in general regarded as noxious or malignant beings. The Trolls are represented as dwelling inside of hills, mounds, and hillockswhence they are also called Hill-people ( Bjergfolk (Goldhill), and they have brought into it all the gold and silver that people buried in the great Russian war." [d] They are obliging and neighbourly; freely lending and borrowing, and elsewise keeping up a friendly intercourse with mankind. But they have a sad propensity to thieving, not only stealing provisions, but even women and children. They marry, have children, bake and brew, just as the peasant himself does. A farmer one day met a bill-man and his wife, and a whole squad of stumpy little children, in his fields; [e] and people used often to see the children of the man who lived in the hill of Kund, in Jutland, climbing up the hill, and rolling down after one another, with shouts of laughter. The Trolls have a great dislike to noise, probably from a recollection of the time when Thor used to be flinging his hammer after them; so that the hanging of bells in the churches has driven them almost all out of the country. The people of Ebeltoft were once sadly plagued by them, as they plundered their pantries in a most unconscionable manner; so they consulted a very wise and pious man; and his advice was, that they should hang a bell in the steeple of the church. They did so, and they were soon eased of the Trolls. [f]

ISSN - 1481-3440 The Scythian and Sarmatian Sources of the Russian Mythology and Fairy-Tales Sergei V. Rjabchikov Krasnodar, Russia srjabchikov@hotmail.com Published July 2001 Last posted 23 September, 2005 Here I study Scythian pictures and a Scythian/Sarmatian inscription which shed new light upon the Russian pagan mythology and plots preserved in Russian fairy-tales. 1. The plot depicted in figure 1 is presented on a wall of a Scythian crypt of the ancient town known as the Scythian Naples, the Crimea, Ukraine (Shtambok 1968: 109, the lower photo). FIGURE 1. I have distinguished a fiery horse, a hut standing on four chicken legs (as in Russian fairy tales!) and a woman (goddess) with the fiery hair. A child is seen in this fairytale hut. These data correspond to the Russian fairy-tales about Baba-Yaga (the old woman Yaga I think that the personage Baba-Yaga corresponds to the Scythian goddess Tabiti . I have counted ten rays at her head in this figure. The face of a goddess is represented on a Scythian brooch discovered in the Belyaus burial ground, the Crimea, Ukraine (Dashevskaya 1991: 121, table 65, figure 10). It is a designation of Tabiti whose head is decorated with nine or ten rays. As has been shown earlier (Rjabchikov 2001a)
