any slavs had dealt with babushkas/sorcereses or whatver u call them that talk your illnesses away?

I tried one, but she was hardcore christian and I dont know if it happened because i came only once, or that i wasnt devout chirstian

>>18669698
Sounds more like gipsy business

>>18669715
no my friend, they are slavs and lots of ppl come making me think that mayb they are legit, truth be told if you ask around some older people, they could direct you to a few
these babushkas are always somewhere remote too, like a village

>>18669698
Don't know of any shit like that, does sound like
>>18669715


My grandmother has some weird ass cures, makes her own vaporub with herbs and vodka; smells like isoprolol, gasoline and looks like twiggy mud.

>>18669740
Babushka is grandma, you might be thinking of Baba Yaha (can't read/write Ukrainian, that's how it sounds). Pretty much just a witch that would take children or some shit.

>>18668332
Bagina ;D

>>18668555
If we didn't have a government who would build the roads?

>>18669777
ik, i meant that its always old slav ladies that are these sorcereses which talk ur shit away,
so i figured slav old grannies = babushka (shorter)

>>18668947
me too,
I'm pretty sure that E.E has to be the most boring place in the world.
Not sure about Russia tho.

wait if im lithuanian am i still eastern euro
i think baltics are considered northern europe now

In Estonia we have a national epic which is based on ancient legend.. About a giant and how he created our nation

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalevipoeg

>>18669827
Well, "babushka" in Russian means "granny", and this word has positive connotation. People use "babushka" not only when they talk about their own grannies, but just about any pleasant old woman. Another word for "granny" is "babka". The connotation is negative here, and as you can easily guess, we use it to describe an unpleasant old woman.
So, he most common word for that witches is "babka". Babka can be znaharka (like healer), or vedunja (like fortune-teller). Theese are the main specializations. Babkas are believed to have powers. Most of them pretend to be christians, but it's strange, as their magic is heresy from the christian point of view. They read "zagovori" (like spells), manipulate with water, know how to heal with herbs. Babkas can send or remove a curse, wich is called "sglaz" in our tradition.
Well, the majority of people don't take all this stuff seriously, I'm not an exeption. The most famous babka was Vanga (bulgarian), and she turned out to be just a fake. But lots of people still believe all this nonscence.

We've got plenty of various nations in slavlands. I prefer russian pomors and yakuts stories.

>>18670024
Yakutia is really one of the creepiest places in the world. Check this.

I love this. I want to take a sleeping bag there and take a comfy nap under the bells.

>>18668276
We try very hard to be a western european country, so I'd say no.

Really nothing spooky in the woods anyways, unless you count dilapidated logging camps and other shacks or bears as creepy.

>>18668511
First one is probably a wendigo, second one? Who the fuck knows

>>18668535
is that from stalker?

>>18669698
Yes, theyre called whisperers (szeptunka). It rare of not extinct tradition. Ive heard of two having a sort pf fight. One entered a shop and started cursing the clerk, and tha clerk started feeling ill and was in pain immedietly. Apparently if nothing had jappened the clerk could have died. Another szeptunka was in the store, and "exprcised" the other from the store.

Idk exactly how their magick works but it seems rather instant than ritual based. I do know however, that most polish swear words are essentially exorcism. The tradition to not say them is because they hold power to exorcise demons and if you abuse them they loose said power? That all i know desu

We have a folk tale which is a tragic love story where at the end the mother turns all her children and herself into trees.

>>18669840
at least it's comfy here

>>18668332
Reminds me of the game Pathologic.

Slavs and eastern europe has the best folklore and myths
Most of them are so down to earth they actually seem possible
Who knows what the fuck lived in the deep green forests a thousand years ago?

>>18668332
>meanwhile on Trappist-1f

>>18674902
Goa'uld?

>>18669986
ahh well in lithuania we have a word for them that means female gender, someone who talks things up (kinda like spells) i think it probably came from the word zagavori which if im not mistaken means something uptalked or something that happened because of talking.

Wendigo is North American

>>18668172
Typical european thinking somewhere in europe is the last place something is happening.

Nigga there is so much undiluted paranormal shit all over the world

>>18669698
I dated a polish girl who went to some fortune teller who told her something like ten years of her future. Thing is they got to keep recordings of it and she said that to this day it has been uncomfortably spot on.

>>18675485
Can confirm this. I've been visiting very old lady which was able to tell me my future from tarot cards and she was always damn right... about my family, future and paper work.

>>18675356
Holy kek

>>18668186
Not Slav, but that hollow earth under that tree on that image.

>>18676663
Deity name?

>>18668947
Exactly something a bloodsucker would say...

There really isn't much creepy about Eastern Europe, not really any hauntings or cryptids of any sort. People seem to think abandoned commie blocks are scary but they aren't really.

No ghosts because everyone is depressed and wants to die and move on to the afterlife as soon as possible.

The only thing that's actually scary is gypsy magic and them cursing you.
