Published on Nov 1, 2025
Samodivas are woodland fairies found in Bulgaria and Eastern European folklore and mythology, commonly depicted as ethereal maidens with long hair, and in some cases, wings. In Macedonian folklore, they were said to inhabit oak or willow trees, and in Romanian mythology they are known as Iele, with magic skills and attributes similar to nymphs found in Greek mythology, sometimes reported to have been seen in the springs or at crossroads. Another important aspect of the Balkan myths surrounding Samodivas is their dance, with similarities to ancient Thracian and Greek legends, which included songs and dances performed by fire-priestesses. https://atlanteangardens.blogspot.com/2020/02/eastern-european-culture-and-mythology.html

The Varna culture belongs to the later Neolithic of northeastern Bulgaria, dated ca. 4400-4100 BC. The Balkans, also known as the Balkan Peninsula, is a geographic area in southeastern Europe.
