M?ia : Hungarian Myth, Magic, and Folklore

Explore the world of Hungarian Paganism with this book's impressive collection of history, lore, and traditions from the Carpathian basin.

Exploring mythology, daily life, magic, the Wheel of the Year, and life passages, this book reveals how Hungarians did and still do celebrate their culture. Margit T?h introduces you to many aspects of the Magyar cosmos, from the creation story to homestead practices. Among many other topics, you will learn how to aid a restless spirit, what magical properties the Summer Solstice bonfire has, and why you should never wash clothes on a Tuesday. This book provides insight on ancestors, nature spirits, sacred foods, healing magic, divination, and even death.
