This episode has no bibliography, as it is based on one of the very first blogposts, written in times, when I thought that bibliography would make my blog look pretentious. After listening to this episode you will however realize that what I am talking about is not really a rocket science and any basic internet search on Slavic demonology can verify my statements.
WHO statistics I cite can be found on WHO website.

About Searching for the Slavic Soul
From the publisher's feed
Searching for the Slavic Soul is an attempt to look at Slavic culture with the eyes of a Rodnover — a practitioner of Slavic Native Faith. We separate interpretations from facts and find in the…
Slavic heritage the elements which were suppressed by time and Christianisation. Focused on authentic, evidence-based pre-Christian Slavic traditions only — no Wicca, no eclectic neopaganism, no New-Age inventions.
