WHY ROMANIAN MYTHOLOGY IS SO WEIRD
Romanian mythology, deeply rooted in Romanian culture and traditions, encompasses a rich tapestry of folk tales and mythical creatures. Within Transylvania, a region renowned for its folklore, tales of strigoi and other supernatural beings abound. These creatures, alongside a myriad of Romanian mythical creatures, populate the Eastern European folklore landscape. Romanian folk stories reflect the resilience and creativity of the people, often weaving elements of nature and everyday life into captivating narratives. Through these tales, Romanian culture and traditions are preserved and celebrated, offering insights into the region's history and beliefs. Transylvanian traditions, influenced by a blend of cultures, contribute to the diverse tapestry of Eastern European folk tales and fairy tales, showcasing the enduring legacy of storytelling in the region.

    6:35 Regarding the feasting tradition during the Pastele Blajinilor in Moldova, I know that it's not very common even around Eastern Europe, but spread in the Russian side of the continent. So I once stumbled upon a video discussing slavic funeral rituals and it turns out that the tradition to make a feast on the grave and have a recollection day for all the deceased buried at that particular grave is coming from the Kurgan culture.

    You should read the books of Antoaneta Olteanu " Mitologie Română" ,but only if you know Romanian Language .It will be translated soon,but not yet.Three large volumes and a life of real hard work.And you wanna talk about rimanian mithology in 23 minutes.Not to mention that you have no ideea about this subject. Oh dear!

    29:48 not evil... they wait in certain night at crossovers and if they see someone with less faith in God they appear to him and tempt him . If he agrees he is generally found dead the next days somewhere close. Not evil at all...

    It started well but went downhill fast. While elements of fairy tales can be considered mythology they themselves are not mythology. Also you wrecked every fairy tale character out there.

    16:30 Capra "she-goat" dance is related with Capricorn zodiacal sign in December-January.

    @RazvanMihaeanu Před 13 dny

    14:20 ”Înstruțatul boului” (crowning oxen) is related with the "fire" Taurids meteor shower at Rusalii/Rusalka (Pentecost) in June-July... while in October-November we have another Taurids meteor shower connected with the fire celebration of Sâmedru (Saint Demetrius, Deus Mithra - slayer of bulls).. aka Halloween/Samhain... Jack o'lantern, when the Saints are marching in... and so on. I need to mention that in Romania we have two "Haloweens": 1 - "Fire of" Samedru on October 25-26th (when the gates of the Underworld are opened and people mourn their love ones in cemeteries... basically "when the saints are marching in")... 2- Saint Andrew, on November 30th (Saint Apostle Andrew - "the first one who was called" .. also patron saint of Romania - is the same as Odin/ Wotan/ Saturn/ Cronus/ Zamolxis/ Moloch/ Saint Nicholas/ Santa Claus/ Krampus... patron of wolves and ravens. eater of his own - cooked in fire - children)... ho-ho-ho ("aho, aho children and brothers") down the chimney, and eating "Gingerbrean Man" cookies.

    Kartvelians mentioned! I'm always shocked how similar some narratives and characters are to Caucasian mythologies especially to Kartvelian, but Romania is just on the Other side of the Black Sea and part of same historical drama. Love to learn more and find more similarities with Georgian and Romanian mythologies
