Polish folklore encompasses the rich traditions, myths, and legends of Poland, reflecting the country's history and cultural identity. It includes tales of Slavic deities, such as Perun and Weles, as well as stories about mythical creatures like Wawel Dragon and Baba Yaga. These narratives often convey moral lessons and explain natural phenomena. Traditional Polish folklore also features vibrant customs, music, and dance, particularly during festivals and celebrations. Folk art, including Wycinanki (paper cuttings) and Kraków's szopka (Christmas cribs), showcases the creativity of local artisans. These elements contribute to a unique cultural heritage that continues to be celebrated today.
