Come Undone

[William Ryan]

Just back from vacation so only now aware of this exchange. Unbound hair
is also an indication of engagement in magic, usually demonic, both in
Russia and in other cultures. It is sometimes specified in the
performance of zagovory and in descriptions of witches and female demons
such as the triasavitsy. See my Bathhouse at Midnight, index, s.v. hair.
