This song will tell you about the ancient Ukrainian legend. A song performed in Ukrainian accompanied by the Ukrainian folk instrument called the bandura. 
title: the sight of the witch(Ukrainian folk song)

album: Mavka. Forest song

Mavka (Ukrainian: Мавка Bulgarian: навяки, навы from Proto-Slavic *navь 'the dead') is a type of rusalka, or female spirit, in Ukrainian mythology. She is a long-haired figure, sometimes naked, who may be dangerous to young men.
The rusalkas known by this term represented the souls of girls who had died unnatural tragic or premature deaths, particularly unchristened babies. Mavkas often appear in the form of beautiful young girls who entice and lure young men into the woods, where they "tickle" them to death. Mavkas have no reflection in water, do not cast shadows, and have "no back", and so their insides can be seen. In some accounts, they were also said to help farmers by looking after cattle and driving out wild animals.

They were believed to live in groups in forests, mountain caves, or sheds, which they decorated with rugs. They made thread of stolen flax and wove thin transparent cloth for making clothes for themselves. They loved flowers, which they wore in their hair. In the spring they planted flowers in the mountains, to which they enticed young men, whom they tickled to death. On Pentecost (known as Mavka's Easter, Ukrainian: На́вський Вели́кдень) they held games, dances, and orgies. A demon accompanied them on a flute or pipes.

To save a dead unchristened baby's soul, one had to throw up a kerchief during Pentecost holidays, say a name and add "I baptise you". A rescued soul would then go to heaven. If a soul lived up to seven years and did not go to heaven, a baby would turn into a mavka and would haunt people.

Mavkas are depicted in literature, most notably in Lesia Ukrainka's The Forest Song and Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky's Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors.
