Humans, much like in many other cultures, were believed to be created from Mother Earth in the religious beliefs of the ancient Slavs, and thus it is not surprising that they are closely connected to the earth. Likewise, all magical beings associated with the family and the human environment were essentially earth-bound magical entities.
The Slavs believed that, in addition to the body, a person also consisted of consciousness, a soul, and a bit of magical power. Thanks to this belief, the Slavic religious concepts also include magical beings that are born directly from human beings. These include various spirits and demons such as the mora, the werewolf, or the vampire.
Last but not least, magical beings associated with diseases and misfortunes also have a close connection to humans.
