Sinister

In Belarusian folklore, an invisible woman without a tongue, eyes and ears. The evil ones look like humpback cats or dogs shod in high boots. They wear hats with earflaps. They are constantly engaged in sabotage and, when they get out from under the stove, they try to quickly make a mess.

According to beliefs, it is very difficult to get rid of Nedoli or evil spirits, but it is possible. To do this, you need to trick them into getting into the bag and throwing it into the swamp. The evil ones can be tied up and left on the road, lured under a stone, buried, etc. They will go to the one who releases them.

Evil spirits - in the mythology of the ancient Slavs - demonic beings hostile to man, his evil, trouble, who obey the laws. They are invisible and live in a house or sit on a person's shoulders, bringing misery and poverty.

Among the Eastern Slavs, the embodiment of the evil share in the image of a one-eyed old woman was famously called one-eyed.

A share and a short time were presented as two straight. The share was represented in the form of a beautiful spinning girl who spins the golden thread of human destiny, and for a short time - as a gray-haired old woman with an extinct look, who spins her too thin, breaking thread.
