Buka (Welsh folklore)

The Welsh variety of brownie is called Buka (Bwca). It is also a domestic helper spirit.

If you keep a good relationship with him and insert a saucer filled with fresh cream into the hallway every evening, then buka will be imbued with good feelings for the owners of the house and will help them.

If you start mocking a creature or accidentally offend it, it will certainly get angry and start messing up in response: buka is able to swap all the furniture in the house overnight, tear clothes into small shreds, pinch a sleeping person painfully, knock him or throw him high into the air.​‌‌​‌‌​ ​‌​‌‌‌‌ ​​​‌​‌ ​​‌​‌​ ​​‌​‌‌ ​‌​​​‌ ​​‌‌​​ ​​‌​​​ ​‌​​​‌ ​​‌‌‌​ ​​‌​‌​ ​‌​​​‌ ​​‌​‌‌ ​​‌‌‌‌ ​‌​​‌‌ ​‌​‌​‌​ ​‌‌​‌‌​ ​‌‌‌​‌‌ ​​‌‌‌‌

Often beeches tell family secrets to others.​‌‌​‌‌​ ​‌​‌‌‌‌ ​​​‌​‌ ​​‌​‌​ ​​‌​‌‌ ​‌​​​‌ ​​‌‌​​ ​​‌​​​ ​‌​​​‌ ​​‌‌‌​ ​​‌​‌​ ​‌​​​‌ ​​‌​‌‌ ​​‌‌‌‌ ​‌​​‌‌ ​‌​‌​‌​ ​‌‌​‌‌​ ​‌‌‌​‌‌ ​​‌‌‌‌

Wrought iron, water consecrated in a church, or a cross carved from a rowan trunk are used to protect against beeches. A prayer for deliverance from evil spirits, read later in the evening, can also help.

If all the measures taken did not help, it is necessary to seek the help of a strong sorcerer to expel the raging creature from the house.
