Blud (Russian, Ukrainian: Блуд), 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.Levin, Eve, [https://books.google.com/books?id=IL382sYaohkC&q=blud&pg=PA189 Sex and Society in the World of the Orthodox Slavs, 900-1700]. pp. 46, 157, 164, 189, Cornell University Press, 1995

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