O krásnej strige

Prikolica

A Romani fairy tale about a young striga who uses magic to win her husband and eventually becomes an ordinary man out of love for him and her children. Once in a while, a little girl is born in a gypsy settlement, and fate gives her the strigoi's abilities. But because everyone is afraid of the strings, the heroine of our fairy tale keeps it a secret - even from the young man she has fallen in love with. When she becomes his wife, his mother discovers her and instigates her son to burn the woman. Only her witchcraft skills will save the beautiful striga's life. She leaves the county and becomes the wife of a wealthy landowner. But her love for the first man does not leave her, and so when they meet after a time, she not only forgives him, but also gives up her strigorous abilities for his sake.
