The presence of water demons in Slavic culture has quite distant origins and dates back to pre-Christian Slavic beliefs. In Slavic tradition, the water spirit is the ruler of the underwater world, the spirit of water, the master of the river or pond. He guards the depths, watches over the purity of the water, and can both help people and punish them for disrespecting nature. In the popular imagination, he is wise, ancient, and changeable, like water itself.
Water is the boundary between worlds, so the Water Spirit is also the guardian of the transition, the mediator between the living and the afterlife.
