Lore

Iele are beautiful fairy women in Romanian folklore, dancing in circles in forests at night. Their enchanting songs and dances lure intruders, cursing them with madness, paralysis, or illness. They embody the allure and danger of the wild, punishing disrespect for nature. Offerings or protective charms can appease them. Iele represent the mystical power of feminine spirits and the consequences of trespassing in sacred spaces in Romanian tradition.
