Belief in this mythological being
is characteristic for the south-western part of Bosnia, in Cazin-Velika Kladuša
to be more exact, where it is believed that he is a dwarf with a long white
beard and black feet who rides a large white rooster. His name stems from the
Bogomil name for priests- Did. According to the above mentioned it is clear that
this creature is a Bogomil priest from the south-western parts of Bosnia whose
name stuck through legends in Bosnia. Did Adže presents a mystical character who
was used to scare children into submission. Although in legends Did Adže
possesses powers of teleporting, he is the keeper of wisdom and an entrance in
the underworld.
