"Pan Thaddeus" illustrated by Jan Marcin Szancer (Polish, 1902-1973)
Pan Thaddeus (1834), by Polish writer, Adam Mickiewicz, is recognized as the national epic of Poland and it is considered by many to be the last great epic poem in European literature. The poem narrates the tale of two feuding noble families and the love story between Tadeusz and Zosia. It takes place in a fictional idyllic village, in 1811 and 1812.
"No European nation of our day has such an epic as Pan Thaddeus. In it Don Quixote has been fused with the Iliad. ... Pan Thaddeus is a true epic. No more can be said or need be said". (Zygmunt Krasiński)
"No play of Shakespeare, no long poem of Milton or Wordsworth or Tennyson, is so well known or so well beloved by the English people as is Pan Thaddeus by the Poles. To find a work equally well known one might turn to Defoe's prosaic tale of adventure, Robinson Crusoe; to find a work so beloved would be hardly possible". (George Rapall Noyes)

Thisbe and some of the girls from Crimson Stars meeting up.
She’s a very different type of vampire from them, in a very different type of story. But there’s still some commonalities.

Morvran Voorhis dressed as a Redanian nobleman (my design)
Let's take a look at his outfit:
1. Lush, richly decorated and bright clothes of the Redanian nobility largely inspired by the costume of the szlachta (gentry of the realm in the Kingdom of Poland, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania) of the 16th-17th centuries;
2. Collar (jewelry) with eagle pendant, symbol of power;
3. Redanians don't need eye makeup ;
4. Warm schaube with puffy sleeves just for northern latitudes;
5. "How to put on a zupan, so already become a pan"; ( Pan - it's slavic honorific, it was equivalent to "Lord" or "Master" )
6. Kontusz - it's pride of redanian nobleman. Doesn't fasten to the end to bug was seen zupan;
7. Satin Ofiri belt with ornament from golden threads;
8. The cane is an attribute all the archspies and conspirators;
9. Saffiano boots with embossed pattern.

Siemanero czy ja mogę prosić o źródło do szatańskości ø i æ?? Będę mieć do kolekcji ze Śniadeckim nazywającym literę j pomiotem diabelskim 🙏
Pasek o tym pisał, a sama kwestia była opisana w "Dziejach Obyczajów w Dawnej Polsce, wiek XVI-XVIII". Nie mogę teraz znaleźć tego dokładnie fragmentu, gdzie mówią o tych konkretnych literach, ale mam tu fragment o ogólnej czarownicowości Szwedów. (I Niemców, bo oczywiście). Gdy tylko znajdę ten o literach, to go wrzucę i Cię oznaczę w poście.
Mam za to inny, z 1659. Znajdując Pamiętniki Paska w Wikisource można przez Ctrl+F znaleźć słowo charakternik. Przypis przekieruje nas do wyjaśnienia, że chodzi tu o czarownika.
Z Bystronia:

Tu jest napisane właśnie o tym, że charaktery to znaki, ale w innym miejscu było obszerniej omówione. Możliwe, że pomyliły mi się książki, bo pamiętam, jak na marginesie tego opracowania pisałam ołówkiem coś typu lol, a nie mogę tego znaleźć w książce :( będę szukać, bo nie da mi to żyć

I know that not many polish people will relate but it's so lonely to be someone from the polish elites/szlachta. Generally speaking, minor aristocracy as a concept is now long forgotten and when you mention that you are an 'aristocrat', most western people imagine glamorous ballrooms, chic dresses and so on. And you aren't anything like that. Polish minor aristocracy's life is drenched in the blood of war. These people were mostly military men and their wives and children, often so poor that that were two steps away from living like farmers themselves. Not many people know that after the two world wars plus communist rule the general population of Poland is not the same as it once was. To put it simply, minor aristocracy, the major power that fueled polish armies, was wiped out, destroyed in communist and Nazi death camps, died from various repressions. The Poland I belong to is no longer there. Reminders of this are constant. When the conversation touches Polish mythology/folklore, I constantly imagine...stories of kings and priests and merry Jewish merchants... You know, attributes of minor aristocrat's life. And then poles I know remember witches, werewolves, some kind of old country beliefs and I begin to get it.. While still 'poles', they are different poles. They are farmers. And, while genetically close, we will never understand each other. I scroll through another blog of country women in national dresses, labelled as 'Beautiful Poland'. But those dresses are actually similar to Ukrainian ones and Czech ones and Slovak ones. Farmers are the same everywhere, almost the same. They have their brotherhood and their universal laws and folk traditions. And apart from radical nationalists (which I don't want to deal with) no one talks about polish aristocracy, which is nothing like Ukrainian and Czech, it's an unique phenomenon, for better for worse.
It's very lonely.
