Hello friends! I want to show you a new sketch! This is a noon - Russian and West Slavic character. Now I will tell you more about it. This is a very interesting legend!

Our ancestors believed that twice a day there are such hours when the manifested world and the otherworldly world merge into one. Creatures from Navi could be in the world of the living. This usually happened at noon and midnight, either at dusk or dawn. Therefore, this time was considered dangerous. We'll tell about the spirits that appear in the hours on the field or the meadow - the semi-weekly. It should be noted that the half-woman appears far from everywhere. They are most often encountered by people in the midst of summer field work. In the field of midday women and live. This character combines the properties of the goddess of fertility, following the ripening of the harvest, and several demonic features. So, a midday woman can punish, send sickness, sunstroke, scare, kidnap or replace a child. Usually, the midday woman appears in the image of women. They can be beautiful women above human growth, in a white shining dress, or ugly old women. They are able to change the appearance and size. Often her image merged with the image of a mermaid.
It is armed with a huge red-hot frying pan, which, as they believed, either covers the plants from the rays of the scorching sun, or, conversely, burns them. They could give her a braid. Noonday could go beyond the field: in the forest, in the garden, garden, especially if it intends to kill someone:

Wow, it's really beautiful, I've always wondered why these sketches do not draw your eyes? Is it for something specific?
