The article is a synthesis of the research on a spider creation in Russian folklore as far thread mythologem is concerned. As traditional oral folk composition genres analysis proves there are spider relations to a sphere of sacrum. The spider, able to weave and move in all directions, is seen in fairy-tales as a saviour. The result of its activities is restoring of order in the world. Christian legends of aethiology show the spider as a trickster acting against God. In many genres of folk literature its web functions as a guide, saviour or liason between earth and heaven. Folk ideas connected with the spider stored in traditional folklore are genetically connected with mythological weaving-cosmogony idea and demiurge-weaver creation.

The article analyses graffiti from pews in Roman Catholic churches in Bydgoszcz, gathered by the author in the years 2014-2017. The method of contextual analysis and case study has been applied in the research. Inscriptions from the Bydgoszcz churches have been analysed in the context of the selected examples of inscriptions in sacral space (a church with its premises and buildings), those that are historically certified and those which have occurred in our times. Inscriptions, regardless of their status (legal-illegal), have been studied mainly taking into account their location in sacral space and on the basis of the findings of M. Eliade on the division and experience of sacral and secular space by man.Moreover, inscriptions have been analysed in the cognitive aspect (topics) and the pragmatic aspect (the presumed image of a recipient and a sender as well as motivations for leaving inscriptions).Conclusions from the analysis indicate difficulties in the interpretation of motivations behind leaving graffiti on church pews. The topics of inscriptions on pews, despite their location close to the centre of sacral space, do not reflect the experience of sacral space, but rather point to the perception of the church by the creators of the graffiti similarly to secular space.

Since the 1990s, there has been a back-to-the-sources trend in post-Soviet Russian society. The publishing industry responded by issuing Russian folk magical texts that were written and signed by alleged ‘witch doctors’. In the current era of wide availability of print, radio, television and the Internet, folk and pseudo-folk spells in Russian publications have become a part of the information circle spanning the sphere of traditional folklore, contemporary popular culture, and contemporary folklore. In this article, I analyse the guidebooks on magic that belong to this sphere of popular culture. These publications were based partly on traditional folk magic analysed in ethnographic research, and magic practised by contemporary female ‘witch doctors’. These publications draw on traditional folklore and render it for contemporary readers’ needs. Collections of magical texts represent a kind of ‘commercial magic’. It combines various cultural and religious traditions in order to form an attractive product for clients who seek help in critical situations in their lives. In this article, I characterise a number of modifications to magical folk tradition and ways of presenting it in chosen guidebooks available on the Russian publishing market.
