What is Samodiva?
A heavenly
creature from Balkans in Europe
Also
known as Vila, Samovila, Samodiva is the most beautiful
creature of our legends... Samodivas, yes, they are many,
are immortal keepers of the nature. They look like very
young beautiful women, with very long, very light blonde
hair, and very pale skin, dressed with almost transparent
white long dress made from moon light. This magic dress
let them fly without wings, and gives them the magic
protection power.
Samodivas do not like human beings much. Because humans
have the power of destruction, and they always damage the
Holy Nature. So these good creatures hide in the deepest
forests, and appear only at the nights. Usually
they fly on groups of three, seven, or twelve sisters,
landing here and there, trying to cure damaged plants,
and hurt animals.
Samodivas prefer some special places in the forests where
they like to dance, and sing for their own fun. Where
their feet touch the ground, there bloom the magic
flowers. If you find in the woods a round glade, covered
with soft short grass, it's probably such place. And if
there are still blooming little white flowers, samodivas
were dancing here just last night.
Ah, you missed to see the most magnificent scene in your
life! Don't regret so much. To see samodivas could be
very dangerous... Their dancing delicate bodies, their
graceful movements, their so charming voices are so
fascinating, that you just loose your mind. The only
thing, you can think is just to be with them, to touch
this silky hair, to fondle this pearl skin, to kiss these
fresh lips with scent of forest flowers... But if
you have some bad thoughts in your mind, samodiva can
turn you into a wolf, boar, or some other worst and
uglier animal, or just into a stone! Let say, you are a
nice guy, and some samodiva really kiss you. You are
completely lost then! You'll completely forget everything
of this world. You'll think about her only, and you'll
look for her all of your days and nights, till you die
with broken heart! Well, there is still a chance to
resist of samodivas charisma, if you are deeply in love
with another girl. :)
What if you are a girl? Samodivas could make you dance
with them, till you fall on the ground deadly
exhausted... Sometimes they take some girls with them,
and no one see them anymore. Maybe kidnapped girls become
samodivas too? Who knows...
Though, here is a way to catch a samodiva. What samodivas
like the most of all, is to take bath in some nice pool
of some forest river. They leave their magic dresses on
the coast, and then they go in the water, laughing,
sprinkling each-other, playing, and enjoying for hours.
If you are a brave man, you may steal some of samodiva's
dress, and hide it, without be seen by entertaining
beauties. When everybody fly away, one of them will stay,
looking for her dress. Remember, without her dress, she
cannot fly, and she cannot put a bad spell on you, since
she loose the half of her power. Undressing, samodiva
turns into a human being, and then she may be yours!
People
still believe, that these magic creatures still exist in
our land. There is a special Holy Day in the summer time,
when sick people find these samodiva's places, and sleep
there holding samodiva's flowers. May samodivas, the
nature keepers, come, and cure them... Because, never
forget, WE are a part of the nature too! Sometimes these
good pitiful creatures help. There still are miracles in
our holy land, if you believe...
