According to Bosnian belief the soul is located inside the human body in the
shape of an apple which is identical to the modern representation of a human
aura. An apple was customarily carried during visits and was given as a gift to
children, or a girlfriend would give it as a gift to her boyfriend and vice
versa. Therefore we come to a conclusion that an apple was a symbol of
affection, love and positive emotions which is identical to a figurative
understanding of the soul in folk statements such as "He's a kind person, he has
a soul!"
A soul has a couple of shapes, depending on where it appears; if a witch is in question then it has a shape of a bumblebee, in vampires it is manifested in the shape of a butterfly, a soul of a small child has a shape of a black or white bird meknjača and with the others the soul is in a form of a silhouette with a see through dress.
