Blud

Blud is a figure in Slavic mythology who was originally a type of fairy but has since been described as a malicious deity who disorientated mortals and caused them to wander aimlessly - this type of trickery is a common theme amongst certain types of malicious fairies (sometimes known as Will O&apos; The Wisp) and was feared by many travellers.

Blud also later became known for lust, which is one of Seven Deadly Sins of Christian philosophy - as such this was likely added after conversation to Christianity, perhaps to replace certain pagan-elements (such as being a deity) with those traditionally associated with the Devil or his many legions.
