Demonologia i magia ludowa w folklorze mieszkańców Nasielska
Demonology and folk magic in the folklore of the inhabitants of Nasielsk

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the material from the field research I conducted in Nasielsk and its surrounding villages. From a reasonably rich collection of interviews, I have se-lected fragments that refer to the verbal folklore preserved in the memory of the inhabit-ants of Nasielsk. To more accurately extract and present oral legend, the article is divided into two parts. First, I deal with topics related to folk demonology and belief in the opera-tion of ‘unclean forces’ among the inhabitants of the local community. On the other hand, the second part is devoted to narratives related to magic and ways to counteract it.
