Likho

Likho is an embodiment of evil fate and misfortune in Slavic mythology, a creature with one eye, often depicted as an old, skinny woman in black (Лихо одноглазое, One-eyed Likho) or as an evil male goblin of forests.

There are several basic versions of tales about how a person meets with Likho, with different morals of the tale.

A person eventually cheats Likho.

A person cheats Likho, runs away (with Likho chasing him), sees a valuable thing, grabs it out of greed, the person's hand sticks to it and they have to cut off their hand.

Likho cheats a person and rides on his neck. The person wants to drown Likho, jumps into a river, drowns himself, but Likho floats out, to chase other victims.

Likho is received or passed to another person with a gift.

Within the framework of superstitions, Likho was supposed to come and eat a person. In particular, this was used to scare small children. In Ukrainian folklore, it is sometimes portrayed as type of a bad spirit that can cling to one's neck.

Likho is not a real proper name, but a noun meaning bad luck in modern Ukrainian and the odd number in Polish (obsolete). Several proverbs utilize this term such as the "Не буди лихо, поки воно тихо" or the Russian "Не буди лихо, пока оно тихо", meaning "Don't wake likho while it is quiet", "let the sleeping dogs lie" and the Polish "Cicho! Licho nie śpi", translated as "Quiet! Evil does not sleep" and "Licho wie", literally "Licho [only] knows", used to mean that a given piece of information is known by no one. In old Russian, the root meant "excessive", "too much", "remaining" and "odd number" (contrasted with chetno in the chetno i likho game) with pejorative connotations, similar to the unlucky 'odd man out'. Compare to Russian lishniy – one in excess. The word is likely to be related to Indo-European leikw meaning something to remain, to leave. The derived adjective likhoy can be used to describe someone who is a bit too daring or brave. In Czech, lichý means odd (number), idle, vain. In Polish, lichy means shoddy, poor, flimsy. In Belarusian language, ліхі means bad, evil (like in prayer), odd (side of clothing). In Ukrainian language, it is type of bad luck or incident.

Bands List (Part 12: L)

Disclaimer: My passion and like for the respective bands does not mean that I support them outside of the music-world. I just like the songs, for whatever reason. Also, this took hours of research and mental exercises and checks through older lists I had made in the past, however I might be forgetting some bands, or might have accidentally put the same band twice (blame the human natural error).

Hey, Nomad. Have you met Licho yet? what do you think of him? Better than Macan and Hombretigre?

“Compared to Macan? That guy’s pretty much a kindred spirit to me. It’s relieving to be able to talk to a fellow tiger who’s actually sane!”

“We can commiserate too, which is always a bonus.”

Campfire Stories

“Say, say, sir!”

“Have you ever heard of the Licho?” A small pause follows, merely dramatic effect, before he continues.

“You see, it’s a spirit of misfortune, said to be the cause of all suffering of mankind, really! His claws will cling to your shoulders, sinking into your flesh so that he may never be separated from you. His breath, cold as the most harsh of Russian winters, will blow upon your neck as he whispers curses most vile.”

“‘All you hold dear will be tainted red’, ‘All joy in your life will be stolen by me’, ‘Your limbs will break one by one, but you shall not die’, he shall say. ‘you shall not die for as long as I see a use in you.’ And that, sir, is what’s the most troubling! You see, this spirit would prevent you from taking your own life as well, for it would take away the toy he has made you into.” A dry chuckle leaves him.“You would be doomed to a life of misfortune until nothing is left of you, however.. there is a way to be rid of it.”

“They say the only way is by passing him over to a close friend through a gift. And so, sir..” Another small pause, a grin spreading across his face. “Who would you sacrifice to end your own misery?”
