Podlasie is not just a rural region of Poland, it is also home to the remaining whisperers, the babka szeptucha. These folk healers are representative of the magical healing traditions found throughout Poland as well as all of the Slavic nations. I believe the land on which they live contributes just as much to their healing prowess as their own abilities.
"Homesick for a place you've never been" yes, exactly that! Thank you for sharing these wonderful pictures!
I think it's such a shared phenomenon in our modern age where no one stays in the same place for too long. Glad you enjoyed the photos!
