The sequel to the series of postage stamps under the name Croatian Fairy World introduces two exceptional motif novelties: the monster orko and the little devil macić who, in the reflections about the pagan inheritance, belong to the folklore demons. This means – as the contemporary Croatian folklorist Ivan Lozica explains – that they are “creatures like people, impetuous and unpredictable, in a way both of them are on the other side of the good and evil. Macić is a bit better than orko, he often helps people to find their way to money or he protects them from some disaster. Both of them, though, frighten people and can even harm them” (Pagan Heritage, Zagreb, 2002).
