Човек откаже ли се от това, което сърцето му иска

Нито храната му е вкусна

Нито живота му е сладък

Samodiva – Now, that's a staple in Bulgarian mythology. They are described as beautiful young women who live in the mountains and use their magical abilities to help the common folk.

However, Samodivas have a fatal weakness - since their magic is contained in the veils they wear, they could potentially lose their magical abilities. Some legends revolve around Samodivas who lose their veils and sometimes find them back.

As mentioned, Samodivas are a core part of Bulgarian folklore. Because of that, truth be told, they have become victims to their popularity and, unfortunately, many stories that feature them also tend to fetishize them in some very questionable ways (applies to both ancient tales and modern interpretations).

I did my best to avoid getting influenced by the raunchier interpretations of these nymph-like women when drawing my own take on them.

Доброто се върши тихо.

Другото е театър.

„Хората отвръщат

с много по-силна жар на злото,

отколкото на доброто,

защото благодарността е бреме,

докато отмъщението е наслада. "
