Being the most remote region of the former north-west Slav lands, Kashubia constantly draws the attention of scholars interested in the early history of Slavic people because a great number of archaisms can be traced in the language, beliefs and customs of its inhabitants. In this relatively small area of the originally tight Slavic settlement, which for several centuries resisted Germanization from the West, one can find, among other things, important source material concerning the magic and demonology of the old days (c.f. the bibliography attached to this article). The authoress discusses the Kashubian lexical items that show the evidence of the influence of the Church on the original beliefs in the pre-Christian world of demons: the former names of tutelary spirits of ancestors reduced to the names of devils and the names of demons derived from Christian names.
