Smiling Kikimora, robed in funny bright green dress, will cheer you up. One thing is for sure if you are upset, look at this figure and its smile can’t but touch your heart.
Kikimora or Shishimora is a female house spirit who usually lives in the cellar or behind the stove. It comes out at night to spin and will look after the housework and the chickens if the home is well tended. If the household is a sloppy one it will wine, whistle and tickle the people at night. It is sometimes married to the domovik. To appease an angry Kikimora, you should wash all your pots and pans in cold water.
