Katerina Tuckova. Zhytkovski bohyni. (The Goddesses of Zitkova)
"In the rocks of the White Carpathians, there have long lived women endowed with unique abilities. They could cure, advise in trouble, and they also say that they could predict the future. They were referred to as "goddesses". Dora Idesova is one of the last representatives of the clan of the goddesses of Žítková. Although she did not inherit their skills, she obtained a degree in ethnographic studies and decided to focus on them in the framework of her profound research. At the end of the 90-ies, the archive of the Ministry of Interior of the Czech Republic got complemented with an operative and search case initiated by State Security units against her aunt, goddess Surmena. Dora investigated fates of goddesses of Žítková and was surprised to find out that although she had not become a goddess, she inseparably belonged to this mysterious tradition."
Translated from Czech by Hanna Velychko.
