Abstract
The article discusses the rich oral tradition of the village of Rodik (Slovenia), notably on mythical figures such as Ajdi, Lintvern, Baba and goblins. The stories told are emplaced, together they represent the space matrix, a network of points in space charged with meanings beyond natural and rational, which make the totality of the village territory with all its anomalies and peculiarities intelligible and manageable through sets of related rules, caveats and taboos. The concept is compatible with the notion of “emplaced tradition”, but intends to underline the interchangeability, volatility and creativity in the mythourgical process. Not all of these spots are documented as archaeological sites, but all known archaeological sites in the village territory are accounted for in these stories.
