Slavic mythology: Leshy - the spirit of the forest All the spaces of our Slavic ancestors were inhabited by spirits, Polevik lived in the field, Vodyanoy lived in the rivers and lakes, Bolotnik, Bolotnitsa lived in the swamp. And our ancestors considered Leshy to be the master of the forest. Each forest had its own Leshy, and if the forest is light and clean, then a good and economic Leshy lives in the forest. If the forest is overgrown and dark, then this means that Leshy made a pact with the dark forces and you should not expect anything good from such a forest. Leshy among the Slavs can be both a good and an evil spirit, everything here depends on the circumstances. For example, if a person entering the forest treats it with reverence and respect and greets the owner of the forest with treats, then Leshy can lead him to mushroom and berry places and generously reward him with forest gifts. A stupid and rude person Leshy can, as they say, carry and lead to remote places, where Makar did not drive cows, or even completely destroy in the forest thicket.
