Thank you Only this spirit of Slavic origin. Some of the concepts of Slavic mythology is so ancient, that it's difficult and sometimes even impossible to determine how and why they were and what is the role played in the life of our ancestors. These are some faceless forces: Bereginias, ghouls, Navi. Ancestors believed that Bereguinias lived many, they live in the forests. Ancestors arranged celebration in honor of the Bereguinias of the forest mermaids. According to popular belief, the Bereginya is the bride who died before the wedding. For example, those girls who committed suicide because of the treachery of the insidious groom. This is different from mermaids who always live in water, and there are born. In the time of flowering rye, Bereguinyas appeared from the other world. Every guy was for Bereguinias lost fiance. On the day of Ivan Kupala people accompanied Bereguinias: wore masks animals, played gusli, jumping over bonfires.

Собственно говоря, русалки в славянском фольклоре (если ты их называешь mermaids) далеко не только водоплавающие, а как раз и по полям, и по лесам ходят (в Белоруссии, например, даже чаще лесно-полевые, чем водные). И по-английски их устойчиво называют всё-таки rusalki, ну или что-нибудь вроде water nymphs, а не mermaids, от которых они отличаются довольно сильно (эта путаница есть только по-русски, скорее всего из-за первых переводчиков Андерсена). Извини, если кажусь занудой

Тема с берегинями вообще запутанная, уже очень много версий слышала. Недавно наткнулась на песенку Юлии Ключарёвой "Берегиня", интересный образ там показан

I know the perfect song for this picture. It's "Vom Zauber des Wildfräuleins" (The forest-woman's spell) by Versengold. Unfortunately the lyrics are in German and there is only one youtube-video with bad quality: [link]
Both the song and this picture are equally mystic, romantic and beautiful

ok, here comes my try:
once I got lost in the darkest of forests,
I searched for any kind of path
And when I nearly had lost all hope
I stepped on a clearing
where the light played on waving grass
and in the middle of blossoms an ferns
there was sitting a forest-maiden
as beautiful as a spring-day,
enjoying the magic of the world
She said: "don't be sad and listen to the wind.
Everything flows, everything grows, everything has its time.
Never forget, that we are children of the moment.
And this moment has your life for you at hand.
And if you want to hear it, I say to you:
If you want to go, then go, if you want to stay, then stay.
and if you want to dance, then dance with me."
Her eyes were as lovely as violets blue
her smile was the most sensual delight
her skin was like snow, smelled like honey and dew
and her hair looked like the shine of the sun.
On her daintily body she wore nothing but a dress
fine-woven of jasmine and daffodil
and she pulled me down to kiss away
the past and the tears from my lips.
And she said: "don't be sad and listen to the wind.
Everything flows, everything grows, everything has its time.
Never forget, that we are children of the moment.
And this moment has your life for you at hand.
And if you want to hear it, I say to you:
If you want to go, then go, if you want to stay, then stay.
and if you want to dance, then dance with me."
so I easily surrendered myself to her arms
and I sunk down to the forest-maiden's lap
and solacing my harm and senses were wiped away
on the bed of blossoms and moss
I dreamt of summers and winters that flew
and reality around me melt away
and I dreamt of years that passed without me
while I relished her love.
And when I finally opened my eyes
I was an old man near to death
and the forest-maiden who carried away my life
smiled and gently caressed me
and she said: "don't be sad and listen to the wind.
Everything flows, everything grows, so be ready
some moments flee quick like an entire life
in the spell of the forest-maiden and her time
And if you want to hear it, I say to you:
if you want to cry, then cry
if you want to shout, then shout
if you want to dance, then dance with me a last time"
and I whispered: "why should I cry or shout?
Would I still be in the prime of life,
I would for just such a moment
gladly give my life a second time."
