The VUJAKA or Grass-Snake, a black snake with "golden ears," lives in the forests and swamps of Belarus. It was believed that it does not bite people not because it is non-poisonous, but because it is noble. And the snake has its own magical realm. A fairy-tale young prince who lives somewhere in a beautiful palace amidst impenetrable marshes. If you happen to meet a snake in the forest, bow to it, as it could very well be the snake king who might endow you with extraordinary abilities.
