The image of the
Water– one of the most
common and "favorite" in
Russia. It's complicated. A
water person can be a
"living" water element, and
the "master" of water, and
an unclean spirit living in
water, often referred to as a
devil.

Residents of Eastern Siberia said that the Waterbeard grows
like grass, the mud itself. Here's a long beard from this mud.
The hair is big, too, from this mud. The body is like that, it
shimmers like fish scales, but it's not scales, but hands - but
like a frog has four fingers."

The dwelling of the Water
The favorite places of residence of the Watermen, according to all-Russian
concepts, are pools, whirlpools, deep and dangerous places on rivers and
"Bogota of small rivers". "The merman lives in the deepest pits, in lakes
and rivers. The water is spinning over those pits. Such places are called
damn houses."

Gifts to the Water
The water host was given and treated not only by fishermen, but also by
peasants who lived near rivers and lakes. Usually in the spring, when a
water person woke up, dead or alive horses, sheep heads, roosters, bread,
butter, honey with sentences were thrown into the water for him, for
example: "On you, Grandfather, a housewarming gift, love and complain to
our family."
