Poludnica, antropomorphic female demon, is known in many slavic countries, but in this post i’m going to focus on the lore from slovakia. her very name comes from word poludnie – noon and is related with belief that noon, just as midnight, was the sacred time of the day and is was taboo to work during this time of day. Poludnica, the slavic noonwraith wandering the fields. although she was a patron deity of agriculture, the poludnitsa was also a mischievous spirit who would punish those who worked in the fields at midday, an hour sacred to her, for she had decreed it a time of rest. in eastern europe, the goddess of midday was a white lady who floated about. After last week’s post about marzanna morana, the slavic goddess of the winter, we return to demons this slavic saturday with the południca – a demon of noon (also known as the poludnitsa Полудница, poludnica, noonwraith, and lady midday).
