In Turkic folklore, these places are inhabited by tickling spirits known as Shurale and spirits called Äbädä, who are turned away by inverting one’s clothing. Slavic tutelary deities called Leshy are said to inhabit these locations. A sun god binds an inhabitant of one of these places by sending either seven or 13 winds. While journeying toward one of these locations, a hero has five dreams including one of a falling mountain and one of wrestling a bull. Nemetons were often created by sectioning off sacred areas of these locations by Celtic druids. Enkidu helps destroy one of these locations after the beheading of its inhabitant, Humbaba. For 10 points, name these locations that include one in the Epic of Gilgamesh made up of cedars. ■END■
