Description
THE Mære-Halloween Special-
Folklore:
The Mara or Maere is a creature featured in Scandinavian folklore and Nordic legends associated with sleep and nightmares. The mara is described as a being who would sit on the chest of a sleeping person and bring them nightmares. The etymology of the creature’s name is drawn from Nordic words for nightmare. The story of the mara originated in the Norse Ynglinga ; a 13th century saga written by Snorri Sturlson, an Icelandic poet.
In Slavic folklore the mara is a succubus-like creature who invades men’s dreams and lead them to their doom (Croatia) and as a spirit who enters through the keyhole and strangles you while you sleep (Serbia).
The origin of the term ''nightmare'' comes from the name of this malevolent creature.
