I  conducted  my  own  ethnographic  field  research  in  1998,  2004  and  2007.  Further  field research,  from  2010  to  2012,  under  the  title  ‘Folk  Piety  and  the  Transmission  of Ethnoheritage in  Upper  Meñimurje’, was  part of  Tomo  Vinšćak’s academic  project  Sacral Interpretation  of  Landscape,  organized  by  the  Matapur  Association  and  the  Ethnological and Anthropological Department of the Faculty of Philosophy in  Zagreb. The analysis and comparison  of  the  collected materials  has  contributed  to  research  into  the  fascinating and  still vibrant  –  though  under-researched  –  survival  strategies  of  pre-Christian  and Christian worldviews in the western and north-western parts of the northernmost districts of Croatia.

Trying to interpret oneself and the other in the world, the traditional Man has established a real world and an otherworld. Specific herbal and animal attributes were ascribed to particular people who allegedly had the power to communicate between worldliness and transcendence. Also some human characteristics were linked with herbal and animal mediators. These attributes were folklorized as miraculous powers. Such supernatural beings from South Slavic traditional conceptionsof the world have been largely associated with the pre-Christian deities and their degradations, based on the observed real attributes of the vegetal and animal species. The interdisciplinary comparative way of treating South Slavic folklore real-unreal motifs through time and space in this article is its ethnological, animalistic and anthropological contribution.
