Wëkrëkùs

Wëkrëkùs is a Kashubian trickster spirit. It is the protector of loners.[1] Simultaneously, it was spirit of misfortune and was aiding those, who are laughing at others.[2]

Wëkrëkùs' wooden sculpture in Kętrzyno is part of trail ,,Feel Kashubian spirit" and was chiseled by Jan Redźko in virtue of Aleksander Labuda's study ,,Bògòwie i dëchë naj przodków (przëłożënk do kaszëbsczi mitologii)".[3][4][5]
