Do you love all things paranormal? What you know about the spirit world is about to change as you discover these nine unusual household spirits.
Author Ronesa Aveela grew up in Bulgaria, spellbound by her grandmother’s tales of spirits and other creatures that haunted the countryside.
Some scary. Some friendly. All fascinating.
She shares those and others in this series of studies about Eastern European mythology and folklore—a rich, colorful blend of Christian and pagan tales, customs, and rituals. Many have lost their original significance, but others are still practiced—especially in remote, rural locations.
Household Spirits, the first book in the series, takes you on a journey of discovery of spirits closest to home. You’ll learn historical facts, discover intriguing and horrifying stories, and enjoy beautiful illustrations to gain a complete experience of these elusive house spirits. Here are a few tidbits about what you can expect to find within the book’s pages:
- Builders often measure passersby with string or “capture” their shadow in the mortar of a wall to make structures strong.
- Forgetting to wash your dishes at night and leaving your house messy anger a Kikimora, and she’ll get her revenge.
- Have you heard of the Bannik? Taking a steam bath will never be the same again after you learn about his habits.
Household Spirits is an enlightening nonfiction cultural study in the Spirits and Creatures series. If you like impeccable research, chilling stories, and clever humor, then you’ll love Ronesa Aveela’s educational folklore series.
Explore the pages of Household Spirits today to discover a world of wonders.
