Mamona

Mamona (sometimes also Mamuna) in the Slavic mythology was a wild female spirit of the forest or the mountains. She resembled such nature goddesses as Artemis and is said to lead one down the wrong path, literally and figuratively. Currently, the word mamona is used figuratively and derogatory in the Polish language as a synonym to money.
