Demons of Love: the Kumiho / Gumiho..The Korean Fox Girl

-----------------------------------------
(Next week's post will be the Succubus, Happy early Valentines Day................
-----------------------------------

                                           Ahri League of Legends  by  ASTELTAINN


A kumiho (gumiho)
is a type of fox spirit in Korean mythology

=======================================


The Kumiho like the Japanese Kitsune is a supernatural fox creature ..

Fox spirits are popular east Asian figures Korea, Japan and China  all have ancient myths and folklore regarding them.

According to legend a  fox that manages to live a thousand years turns into a kumiho, like other fox legend's the kumiho can transform at will usually taking on a female form they  will then  set out to seduce men, and according to some versions on the myth eat there heart or liver.


===============
Fox spirits are in a way similar to the Succubus in that they take the form of seductive young woman....
===================

         Shin Min-ah plays a fox girl in the South Korean comedy romance My Girlfriend is a Gumiho  ..





===================

The encyclopedic Compendium of Korean Oral Literature contains a lot of story's regarding the gumiho..
=========================


Even though the Gumiho has the power to transform into a human (Most often a beautiful woman). They  still something retain one or more fox-like features.

For example  in her human form she may still have , a fox like face or  pointed ears hidden under her hair, or maybe even  nine fox tails that only become visible when her  wedding dress is removed. Though able to change between human and fox forms, a Kumiho is very cautions and  guards her true identity.

 It is believed that a  kumiho can transform into the identical likeness of a  bride at a wedding and is only discovered when her clothes are removed on the honeymoon and her fox tail is reveled.  

Bakh Mun-su and the Kumiho (박문수와 구미호) records an encounter that Pak Munsu has with a girl, living alone in the woods, that has a fox-like appearance. In The Maiden who Discovered a Kumiho through a Chinese Poem (한시로 구미호를 알아낸 처녀), the kumiho is ultimately revealed when a hunting dog catches the scent of a fox and attacks the girl. Although they have the ability to change physical forms, a kumiho dose not change there true nature.
 However it is believed that kumiho how  abstains from killing and eating humans for a thousand days, can become human.

=========================


Nine tailed fox myths and legends seem to have Originated  in China  centuries ago and later being introduced to introduced to both Korean and Japanese mythology.

The  Korean Kumiho / Gumiho  shares many similarities to the Chinese Huli Jing and the Japanese Kitsune  an old Chinese text, claims a fox with nine tails lives in an area called Qingqiu (靑丘).

As the kumiho and other versions of the nine-tailed fox myths originated from China, they all have a similar concept.

 The all describe  fox spirits as being the result of extreme longevity or the accumulation of energy.

Usually foxes who have lived for at least thousand years, will gain  the power of shape-shifting.

However there is still some differences between the legends , while the Chinese  huli jing and the Japanese  kitsune are usually said to have a more ambiguous moral compasses, possibly good or evil, the kumiho is almost always treated as a malevolent figure who feasts on human energy and sometimes there flesh.

                                    Ahri League of Legends  found on Wallpaper HD

======



It is unclear at which point in time Koreans began viewing the kumiho as a evil creature, since many ancient texts from China mention a more benevolent kumiho helping humans (and even make mentions of bad humans tricking kind but naïve kumiho).

In later text, kumiho were often depicted as bloodthirsty half-fox, half-human creatures that wandered cemeteries at night, digging human hearts out from graves simelar to Ghoules.
 ---------------


The fairy tale The Fox Sister A fox spirit preying on a family for their livers.

 However, according to Gyuwon Sahwa, kumiho is described as an auspicious fox spirit with a book in its mouth. Considering the text is thought to be written in 1675, some speculate that the modern violent image of kumiho is influenced during the Japanese occupation in Korea.

Nevertheless, foxes often contained a negative image during the Koryo Dynasty  (Shin Don)  was described as an old fox spirit due to his love for women and drinks despite his being a buddhist monk), suggesting two different views could have co-existed in ancient Korea.

 ===============
The  Gyuwon Sahwa  was written in 1675, and describes ancient Korean  history including the creation of the universe. Today, its principal value is generally seen in its role as a historical story reflecting the consciousness of the period, rather than as a historical record. Similar contents are also found in Hwandan Gogi, which is generally believed to have been influenced by the Gyuwon Sahwa
 The Gyuwon Sahwa is now kept at the National Library or Korea.

 ---------------------------------

The most distinctive feature that separates the kumiho from its two counterparts is the existence of a 'yeowoo guseul' (여우구슬, literally meaning fox marble/bead) which is said to consist of knowledge.

According to Korean mythology, the yeowoo guseul provides power to the kumiho and knowledge (and intelligence) to people if they can steal and swallow one.

The kumiho can absorb humans' energy with it. The method of absorbing energy with the "yeowoo guseul" resembles a "deep kiss" (a kiss using the  tongue). The kumiho sends the yeowoo guseul into people's mouths and then retakes it with their tongues. If that person swallows the yeowoo guseul, however, and then observes "sky, land, and people", each observation gives the observer preternatural knowledge. But the person fails to watch the "sky" in most tales, so they get a special ability but not the most important one.
 .................................................


Just like Vampire's, Witches and Werewolf story's in Western folklore, there are always going to by slightly different variations on the myth depending on the person  recounting them.

In one older version of this  myth, says  that with enough will, a kumiho could ascend from its yokai  form and  become permanently human there by lose its evil characteristics.

Explanations of how this could be possible vary, but sometimes include aspects such as refraining from killing or tasting meat for a thousand days, or obtaining a cintamani   and making sure that the Yeoiju saw the full moon  at least every month during the ordeal. Unlike Yeoiju-wielding dragon  , kumiho were not believed to be capable of optioning omnipotence or creation at will, since they were lesser creatures.

9 Tails fox's power's and abilitys----

Fox spirits can create and control Fox Fire lightning ......
Aside from heightened intelligent and extreme longevity, 9 tailed fox's are said to have  many different ability's and supernatural powers

 Include possession, generating fire or lightning, and  manifesting in the dreams of others at will.

                           

Demons of Love: The Huldra

            

----------------


In some legends she is very friendly if approached properly and may even offer advice such as where the best fishing location or hunting spot can be found.

In others she is dangerous, often luring in  young men and killing them.
=--------------------------------

In Nordic mythology the  Huldra is a type of forest nymph / spirit she is very seductive in nature and often described as a beautiful young  woman  with long flowing hair.

The hair cover's a large hollow area on her back like a old hollow tree...

------------------------------------------
--------------------------


In most versions she has look's just like any normal human woman, the only way to tell something is different is her  tail usually said to resemble a cow's tail and sometimes a fox's.. that can be seen stinking out from the bottom of her dress.

 In Norway, she has a cow's tail, in Sweden she usually doesn't have a tail and in other story's she has  a fox tail. just depends on what version of the myth you hear.....


========
There is a similar creature in  Germany called a holda
==============


..............................................................................................................
                                

                                                  Fox tail Huldra

                        

In the norther area's of Sweden, the tail is often left out of the story in favor of her hollow or bark-covered back.
===============



                                                    
                                             --------- Hollow Back / cow  or fox tail------------
=================

Being a forest dwelling creature the hulder is also  associated with hunting; if she take's a liking to a huntsman she may blow down the barrel of his  rifle, causing it never to miss a shot.

Other's she doesn't not like are often loose there minds and spend the rest of there life as a lunatic, if she doesn't just kill them.

..........................

 In most versions of the huldra legend she is a seductress.
 ---


The Huldra will lure men into the forest to have sexual intercourse with her, she will reward those who satisfy her and she will kill those who don't.

The Norway the huldra  is  somewhat less violent most of the time and may just kidnap a man or lure him into the other realm of the Hilda Folk / Hidden Folk.

She has also been know kidnap human infants and replaces them with her own huldrebarn (huldre children similar to fairy changelings).

Sometimes the relationship between the huldra and the man she charmed would result in a child, being presented to the unknowing father.

In some cases, she forces him to marry her afterwards.

 ----------------------
In Norway back in the1980's an elderly man from Valdres claimed he had a child with the hulderpeople on Norwegian radio.
--------------------------------


Sometimes she marries a local village man, but when this happens, the glamour leaves her when the priest lays his hand on her, or when she enters the church reviling to all preset that she was not human.

Some tales  leave out this that part, and only relate how her  marriage to a Christian man will cause her to lose her tail, but not her looks, and let the couple live happily ever after.

However if she is treated badly it will not end will for the abuser!

Haldra's are very strong !

She can straighten  out a horseshoe with her bare hands, sometimes while it is still glowing hot from the forge or even lift up a tree trunk.
 -----------------


If betrayed, a hulder will punish a man.

In one old tale  from Sigdal, A man betrayed her trust and she avenged her pride on a young braggart she had sworn to marry, on the promise that he would not tell anybody of her. The boy instead bragged about his bride for a year, and when they met again, she beat him around the ears with her cow's tail. He lost his hearing and his wits for the rest of his life.


 ============


                                            




The hulder were said to be kind to charcoal burners, watching their charcoal kilns while they rested.

Knowing that she would wake them if there were any problems, they were able to sleep, and in exchange they left provisions for her.

A boy in Tiveden went fishing, but he had no luck. Then he met a beautiful lady, and she was so stunning that he felt he had to catch his breath. But, then he realized who she was, because he could see a fox's tail sticking out below the skirt. As he knew that it was forbidden to comment on the tail to the lady of the forest, if it were not done in the most polite manner, he bowed deeply and said with his softest voice, "Milady, I see that your petticoat shows below your skirt". The lady thanked him gracefully and hid her tail under her skirt, telling the boy to fish on the other side of the lake. That day, the boy had great luck with his fishing and he caught a fish every time he threw out the line. This was the hulder's recognition of his politeness -----

 =-----------------
 Norway and other area's of Scandinavia have many famous places named after the Huldra.

Ulddaidvárri in Kvænangen, Troms (Norway) means "Mountain of the Hulders" in North Sámi.

Hulderheim is located southeast on the island Karlsøya in Troms, Norway. The name means "Home of the Hulder"

Hulderhusan is an area on the southwest of Norway's largest island Hinnøya, the name of which means "Houses of the Hulders"

 Huldremose (Hulder Bog) is a bog located on Djursland, Denmark famous for the discovery of the Huldremose Woman, a bog body from 55BC

.............................


So the next time you visit Scandinavian be wary of any beautiful young women you meet on the hiking trail, you may come face to face with a Huldra....


                                                

Demons of Love: the Baobhan Sith or Scottish Vampire / fairy ..

==========================
Febuary is Valentines Day, so too celebrate the month of love i will be posting about the monster's  of Love and Seduction ...Think of demons like  the Succubus and other's simaler to her in nature...
==========================

                                                      

                                                                ~~~~Baobhan Sith ~~~~
                                                                   Art by Alfonso Pardo  ...

==============
===================

The Baobhan Sith, pronounced baa’van see, also also known as the White Women of the Scottish Highlands.

The Baobhan Sith is most often  depicted as  a beautiful young woman,

They are believed to be a type of fairy, though they share simalarity's to Succubus and Vampier's

They can be found lurking in the Highlands, waiting to seduce young travelers and drink their blood.
=====================

 

Thought to be fairies. though some believe them to be a sub spices of Succubus or a type of lesser vampire... are a particularly dangerous type of vampire-spirits from the folklore of the Scottish Highlands like  the Leanan Sídhes, the Boabhan Siths are considered female but are usually temptresses who use their beauty to lure men into dance before brutally killing them


There mane concern is feeding - they will luring young hunters in by inviting them to dance until the hunter's are too tired too fight back or  overpower the Baobahn Sith.

They would then feed on their helpless victims, draining them dry of blood.




===

The baobhan sith most often appears as a beautiful young woman wearing a long green dress..

She has deer hooves insted of normal human feet..

The long dress is used to conceals her  hooveed legs ..

                                      
                                             Green Dress...

===============




Like vampires, she drinks the blood of human victims and will leave before dawn..

She  can also transform according to some legends she may take the form of a hooded crow or raven. in other versions she will transform into a wolf..
                                      



There are numerous stories about the baobhan sith with a general theme of hunters being attacked in the wilderness at night.

                                  


                                      


================



One famous legend state's that there were four men who went hunting and took shelter for the night in an old cabin.

One of the men supplied vocal music while the others began dancing.

The men wished there were woman present  to dance with, and soon after that four women entered the hut.

Three of them danced while the fourth sat beside as the vocalist.

He then noticed drops of blood falling from his companions and fled from the hut, taking refuge among the horses. His blood thusty  guests chased him but were unable to catch him, and when daylight came the woman all disappeared.

Later the man went back inside and found all three of his friends dead and  completely drained of blood.

The  baobhan sith was unable to catch the fourth man because liker other fairy's she has a weakness to iron., (iron being a traditional fairy  vulnerability.)

==============

In a similar tale one of the men noticed that the women had deer hooves instead of feet and fled from them. He returned the next morning to find that the other hunters had their "throats cut and chests laid open"<sup>.

==============</sup>

 
In a third story the hunters took refuge in a cave.

Each of the men said he wished his own sweetheart were there that night, but one of them, named Macphee, who was accompanied by his black dog, said he preferred his wife to remain at home.

 At that moment a group of young women entered the cave, and the men who had wished for their sweethearts were killed. Macphee was protected by his dog who drove the women from the cave^.

 
One recurring motif in these stories is that the baobhan sith appear almost immediately after the hunters express their desire for female companionship.

This is connected with a traditional Scottish belief that if one were to make a wish at night without also invoking God's protection, then that wish would be granted in some terrible manner..

Gonna have another post up soon Happy Early Valentines Day! :)
