Abstract

In the article by Tihomir Djordjevic, "Birthing Demons in the Belief of Our People", we find mention of a number of beliefs about birth demons in former Yugoslavia. Through a review of this article an attempt will be made to point out the common origin of these beliefs and the close ties that exist with similar beliefs throughout the world, that all stemmed from the existence of an ancient female deity as ancient as some hypothetical Human pre-culture.
