Blud (Template:Langx, Template:Langx), one of the Slavic fairies in Slavic mythology, is an evil-deity that causes disorientation and leads a person aimlessly around and round. The term also refers to illicit fornication, the desire for which Slavic clerics claimed to come from the Devil.<ref>Levin, Eve, Sex and Society in the World of the Orthodox Slavs, 900-1700. pp. 46, 157, 164, 189, Cornell University Press, 1995</ref>

Blud in the Russian language means: debauchery, adultery and deviation from the straight path in the literal and figurative sense.
