Christmas tree decoration Forest Mavka from the unique collection of Ukrainian mythology by the artist Anna Maslennik. Mavkas are the souls of dead girls. They live in fields and forests. They look like beautiful young ladies with long hair decorated with flowers and thin, light dresses. Mavkas can be not only female but also male.

These mythical creatures do not cast shadows. In spring, as soon as the snow begins to melt, nymphs plant flowers near caves, streams, and rivers. They dance on the young grass and swing on the branches of trees when the vegetation is in full bloom.

Assaulting or tickling those who enter the nymphs' realms without authorization is what they do. The nymphs obey the forester and are afraid of Chugaystr. Wormwood is a talisman against nymphs.
