This volume explores a selection of significant and topical
elements from the vast amount of Romanian folkloric and
mythological material. It sheds light on the mythical-ritualistic
aspects of three complex calendar holydays (specifically The Lads
of Brasov, Calusarii, and Sanzienele), whose ritualistic sequences,
laden with mythical-symbolical reminiscences, were lost during the
Communist period and are known today thanks to their spectacular
features. Such aspects include demonic mythical beings (such as
Iele, Rusalii, Stima Apei, The Woodwoman, and Strigoi) that define
the collective imaginary; significant myths that have found their
artistic expression in fairytales and legends; and the role of
women in traditional Romanian society.
