The Legend of Black Books

Black's book have all magical practices that conflict with the divine in it.

The idea of ​​the existence of such a book is very old and appears in various mythologies. Sometimes, shamans are known as "wernoknie'niki" which means "those who know the Black Book".

Talking about them, Russian villagers usually believe in the fact that such magicians learn the art of magic from demons and that they are related to them throughout their lives.

Some people are believed that a magician must make a deal with a certain demon that gives each devil rights to the life and soul of the witch.

Instead, the devil gave the Witch a black book, a text containing spells and charms. at the time of his death, the sorcerer must give this book to others so that he can rest in peace.

If a sorcerer fails to do this, he will become a revenant. In many villages, people believe that the whitch who dies can come in the middle of the night, wearing a white veil, to visit the homes of their living relatives. This only happens to those who fail to give their Black Book.

It was said that the revenants who arrived at midnight sat at the table and ate everything that was given to them. Others are more violent. They knock on doors and windows and kill pets.
However, they have no power during the day, so they leave when it's morning.

to get rid of this revenant, surviving relatives dug up the tomb of the sorcerer. Then place the body face down in the tomb and cut off their heels.
