Badzula
Bazula in Ukrainian demonology is a demonic being or spirit, which in folk imagination is associated with bad weather, bad luck and bad harvest. It is an ominous spirit that can harm a farm, spoil crops, cause drought or severe storms that destroy crops. Badzula was often perceived as one of the demons responsible for natural disasters.
His appearance is rarely described in legends, but Bazula was believed to be a large, dark and powerful creature associated with the elements. It may have been invisible to the human eye, but its impact was felt through devastating weather events that damaged farms and rural communities. Some beliefs indicate that Bazula could appear in the form of a black cloud or a strong wind that brings a storm.
In addition, Bazula is also described as a spirit in the form of an elderly woman who causes people to wander, lose their way and lose their way in life. She suggests to the owners a desire for laziness, drunkenness and extravagance. Her appearance is repulsive: an elderly, ugly woman with large, sagging breasts, bulging eyes, a broad, flattened nose, and thick lips. She is disheveled, half-naked, wearing only a dirty, torn sheet that barely covers her scabbed body.
Bazula can inspire people with senseless desires that lead to moral and physical decay. A person under its influence loses interest in work and life, plunging into laziness and bad habits.
To protect themselves from the influence of Bazula, people turned to molfar, used holy water, prayers and traditional charms to protect their farms. Work, cleanliness and order in the house were considered especially important, which helped to prevent its harmful influence.
