Search for: [Abstract = "The article is synthetic flashbacks the contents, demonological motifs and beliefs in a supernatural power of the Tatra highlanders.

The work describes the notional world of highlanders from the turn of the 19th and the first half of the 20th century. This conceptual framework was shaped by many different factors \(such as the location of the region, its economy, peripheral occupations, multicultural ethnic structure\) and the determinants of Christian and magical syncretism, as well as the naturalist and religious system. The parallel notional reality that emerged reflected the adequate semiotic space of the past, still remains a part of the spiritual cultural legacy and a characteristic feature of the region of Podhale"]
