Irma Gabrilova

Irma Gabrilova was the last recognized 'goddess' in Czechoslovakia, known for her connection to the herbal traditions and healing practices of the White Carpathian Mountains. Her death in 2001 marked the end of a long tradition that faced severe persecution from various regimes. Gabrilova's legacy is highlighted in Katerina Tuckova's 'The Last Goddess', where she represents the cultural knowledge lost due to political repression.
