Facial folk songs – Mythological folk songs that pull the fairies and their relationships with people. In the folk belief, fairies are extremely beautiful and always young girls, and live in groups along the mountain lakes and rivers, where they often bathe. Because of the belief that they live in hard-to-reach areas, their meetings are usually by shepherds. As Irenal creatures, fairies build unusual buildings (wall, tower, city, monastery) in an unusual place (under clouds, in charge of the ice sea) and unusual material (which the directors strive, / are the heroes of the parties, / that the piecancies took me, / Everything girls selected …). They often ride the Sural, and for the UCDs and a whip use snakes. Cruel punish everyone who will try to interfere with their world. They also have their meetings with Marko Kralah, whom they once punished, he is avenged, but sometimes among them, he also has his own achievements. There are also matches between the hero and fairies, when he plays, and they play. If they set it, take the black eyes, and if they pushed them, give it “Gjurdja Fairy, the Eomegut Girl”. The fairies also meet in other relationships with people: blind man, Terat slave, say someone is captured or perish, giving advice, treating or coming a man, they lose people, etc. Lit.: Kiril Penushlish, ritual and mythical songs.
