Megrelians say that the Queen of the Forest lives in forests and protects animals. She is very beautiful and has two long, golden-color braids. Comb is very important for the Queen. When she misses it, the Queen loses her serenity. According to myths, her hair is a source of life and this power is transmitted to the comb. A fate of hunters was in the hands of the Queen of the Forest. If she favored a hunter, he would not miss a shot, even if he did not aim at animals. If during the meeting the Queen would call a person by his name, he should not respond, or he would be driven to madness. If the Queen liked a man, with his hands he should signal number of months or years that he could spend with her. Afterwards the Queen protected the family of the man, which would live in happiness if the man would keep his relationship with the Queen in secret. Otherwisethe Queen would curse the man and his family would be tormented.
