Leidlikast

Leidlikast is a term used in the context of Estonian folklore and mythology, referring to a type of supernatural being or spirit. The term is derived from the Estonian words "leid" meaning "to find" and "likas" meaning "like" or "similar," suggesting that leidlikast are entities that are found or encountered in a manner similar to how one might find a treasure or hidden object. Leidlikast are often described as mischievous or playful spirits that can appear in various forms, such as animals, humans, or even inanimate objects. They are believed to have the ability to influence human behavior, sometimes causing confusion, fear, or even physical harm. In Estonian culture, leidlikast are often associated with the concept of the "unseen world" or the "other side," and are seen as a bridge between the physical world and the spiritual realm. While leidlikast are not as prominent in modern Estonian society, they remain an important part of the country's cultural heritage and folklore.
