Feldgeister
''Feldgeister'' ("field spirits"; singular: ''Feldgeist'') or ''Korndämonen'' ("corn demons"; singular: ''Korndämon'') are corn spirits from German folklore. ''Feldgeister'' often are also wind spirits.〔Wolfgang Golther: ''Germanische Mythologie''. Wiesbaden 2011, p. 200.〕 causing lightning and rain.〔Wilhelm Mannhardt: ''Die Korndämonen: Beitrag zur germanischen Sittenkunde''. Bremen 2014, p. 1.〕
Numerous ''Feldgeister'' are known in German folklore, some shaped as animals, some in human form. The last grain heads and tree fruits are often left at their place as a sacrifice for the agricultural spirits.〔Felix Dahn, Therese Dahn: ''Germanische Götter- und Heldensagen''. Wiesbaden 2010, p. 171.〕 During harvest season ''Feldgeister'' flee deeper into the fields to escape the mowers. With the last cornstalks the corn spirit becomes trapped. Either it is killed by cutting the grain heads, threshing the corn or it is brought to the village in a ceremonial manner, shaped as a corn doll.〔Wolfgang Golther: ''Germanische Mythologie''. Wiesbaden 2011, p. 200 f.〕 Direct contact to the ''Feldgeist'' causes illness.〔Wilhelm Mannhardt: ''Die Korndämonen: Beitrag zur germanischen Sittenkunde''. Bremen 2014, p. 2.〕
