Offended by disrespect to dwelling

Salt Woman

Published accounts describe a migration narrative in which Salt Woman, offended by disrespectful treatment or neglect at an earlier dwelling place, withdrew — in some tellings more than once — before settling at her present lake, carrying the resource's availability with her as she moved.

Hyldemoer

Cutting or picking without asking was said to invite misfortune — illness, toothache, bad luck, or a haunting that followed the offender home.

Kapre

Some tellings hold that the Kapre singles out people who show it disrespect, such as urinating on or damaging its tree, while treating those who acknowledge it politely, for instance by saying "tabi-tabi po" before passing, with relative indifference or even mild protectiveness.

Bannik

An offended Bannik was considered capable of burning the bathhouse down in retaliation for neglect or disrespect, but despite this fearsome reputation, some tellings also credit him with a protective role, guarding the space against other, more hostile spirits, and the bathhouse remained in practice the customary place where many peasant children were born.
