Art a Fact: Russian Phenex

Art a Fact
Russian Phenex
Summer 2015


The Russian children stories had a greater impact on Americans then formally believed...most Americans don't really know of any. The illustration with this post is from a book republished in English for the American readers.

The demon Phenex was retold to readers as a huge peacock...Phenex are generally very tall looking girls. It says they had plumes of many colors...their complexion changes throughout the array of the rainbow. Phenex mysteriously rose from the earth to live with man...Phenex work mainly as farmers, farmer's market's, and grocery store produce clerks. When the Phenex dies, she dies by fire...she will set the place ablaze if crossed. Finally, the Phenex will rise again to restore herself to mankind in guidance.

Because the peacock story is so close to the miracles of a Christlike life and return, there is little doubt the reason for the creation of a truly female born Phenex is at the top of the list for sin sacrificial lambs...which they are generally on when they learn the community is vixed and a ritual girl is needed.
