Description

Illustrations in "Slavic Gods" project, are stylized to seccesion style.

"Południca(Lady Midday) is a noon demon in Slavic mythology. She can be referred to in English as «Lady Midday». She was usually pictured as a young woman dressed in white that roamed field bounds. She assailed folk working at noon causing heatstrokes and aches in the neck, sometimes she even caused madness. Południca(Lady Midday), who makes herself evident in the middle of hot summer days, takes the form of whirling dust clouds and carries ascythe or shears; most likely the shears would be of an older style, not akin to modern scissors. She will stop people in the field to ask them difficult questions or engage them in conversation. If anyone fails to answer a question or tries to change the subject, she will cut off their head or strike them with illness."
