The Polevoi and the Poludnitsa are Kislevite spirits of nature said to bestow fertility on the soil of farms that honour them. When working in the fields, Kislevite peasants often ask for their blessing on their labours.[1a]
Similarly, it is considered good luck to offer these spirits a little grain from the harvest to ensure they do not become angry and render the soil barren.[1a]
Trivia[]
In Russian folklore, the polevoi is a male nature spirit of fields, while the poludnitsa is a female nature spirit that protects the grain.
