Episode 13: First – thou shalt not make new vampires
This episode has no bibliography, as it is based on one of the very first blogposts, written in times, when I thought that bibliography would make my blog look pretentious. After listening to this episode you will however realize that what I am talking about is not really a rocket science and any basic internet search on Slavic demonology can verify my statements. WHO statistics I cite can be found on WHO website.   Link to the Radegast Discord server: https://discord.gg/XFNBdbC <><><>  Witia’s website with Witia’s blog Witia’s Facebook Witia’s Instagram Witia’s Youtube Witia’s email: witia.daboru@gmail.com
