Abstract

The paper discusses some mythological characters―demons, masqueraders, zoo- and anthropomorphic dolls―found in the popular beliefs of the peoples of Dagestan and manifested in children’s games, calendar holidays, and in the rainmaking rituals. The characteristic feature of these figures is that they are depicted in folk imagination as having herbal nature.
